What happens to my plan when my contract expires? If I renew my contract after its due date, is it still called "renewing" my existing plan?

It really depends on how your credits are broken down.
If you have credits that do not expire, then you should be golden as nothing should change.
However, the way that most contracts are given out, there is a mix of credits for options and monthly discounts. The credits for options typically expire and they expire when your contract ends. If this is the case, you'll notice your bill go up depending on how many of those you have.
You can keep using your plan but I highly doubt it will be for the same price. When you renew your contract, you don't have to do an HUP (hardware upgrade). Thus, you'll just stick with your retention plan and you can get the iphone 5 or whatever whenever it releases.
