Silly question-can you keep your old phone when contract's up?

Having not got a contract before, I'm a bit unsure-when it's over, what happens to your phone. Is it yours to keep? If so, can't you just stick it on eBay?

Also I bought my new one from e2save on Sunday, it arrived today but I only just found out I could have said someone referred me and they'd get £30. I didn't see this option, so is it too late to tell them someone referred me?

    Yes- The phone is yours to do with as you wish. You can either sell it at the end of the contract, and hope that it has held some value, or sell it now, use the Contract SIM in an old phone and hope that the value of the phone pays your line rental.

    ...And what some extremely naughty people do is sell it and then claim it on their insurance as lost/stolen. Do note that this is illegal and I do NOT condone it.

    Sorry, I dont know about the £30, but I'm sure that some people on here would be more than hapy to help you out :)
