Contract phone off ebay

Just a quick q.

Can i buy a phone off ebay that has a contract with it (not a new contract by the way) and then just not use the contract??

I didn't think people could get out of contracts with phone companies anyway.

Any tips please help.

  • Some networks like 3 let you to transfer a contract to someone else if the original buyer doesnt want it no more. It depends on the network

    You would still have to foot the monthly bill for the duration of the contract regardless of whether you don't use it
  • How would i have to fit the bill, would the ebay seller transfer the contract into my name then??
