Next silly question. I'm not sure how this works -- I need a new phone. I want a Windows phone (I like the Windows phone platform). But I do not want to lease a phone -- for example, I do not want to enter into a two-year lease with Verizon or AT&T or some such corporation.
My questions:
Can I purchase a Windows Phone, perhaps from the Microsoft web site? Something like one of these?

Can I then contact a mobile service provider, such as Verizon or AT&T, and tell them: I have the phone; can you service my existing mobile phone number?
I've never done this before. Thank you for any advice.
Eric
