If you buy the phone outright then its yours.
If you get a $400 discount offered by the carrier and sign a 2 year contract the phone is only truly yours after the contract is up.
sorry buddy.. i do disagree with that.
i bought the phone.. even at a discount.. it is MINE..
if it breaks.. if it is stolen/lost... I have to deal with it..
the cost of ownership is mine to deal with, so it is mine to do as I please.
i did sign a contract to PURCHASE the phone at the discount. I am liable for the contract. I must fulfill the service agreement. i can also pay the EFT and get out of the contract.
these 2 things: phone and contact are separate.
i should be able to...
take that phone and do as I please.. even move it to another carrier.
just as long as the contract is being honored: keep paying the monthly service (with no phone or to another phone i have).. or pay the EFT and close the account.
