A:Answer Yes, the listed price includes a 2-year contract commitment. The "regular" price that's listed is what you would pay without buying a contract, which is $100-$150 more, depending on the week. If you're looking for an inexpensive option without signing up for a service, you may want to buy one "open-box" like I did. It was pretty close to the price you would pay with a contract, and had everything except the instructions, which you could always get online if you needed them.
