There aren't any drawbacks because you can't do what you want. If you cancel service and sign up again within 90 days your contract is reinstated.

I think you can switch to prepaid, pay the ETF and go on pay per use plan with your current phone.

I don't think so. Everything I have heard before indicates that the customer has to complete their contract before they could switch to a prepaid account.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
