When I got my first contract phone didn't like it
I wanted to sell it but like you i wasn't sure whether the contact extended to the phone as well as the service

Guys here assured me the contract only includes the service /sim

Hope so because I flogged it on ebay and bought anew phone and actually made a profit )

Put my contract sim in my new phone keep paying the same contract and I'm one happy bunny
life is too short for using stuff you don't like especially when eBay can solve those problems

I say flog it buy something you actually "like "

Highly recommend you unlock it and you'll get top dollar for it

Rather than selling the contract phone and buying a new (or secondhand) phone to replace it, wouldn't it be cheaper overall to avoid contract phones in first place?

Sim only contracts are mucher cheaper than contracts with phones, as most of the monthly payment is "really" paying for the phone.

With buying and selling, there are ebay and paypal fees and postage. The buyer of your phone doesn't have get a warrenty or whatever. And the phone has to be unlocked.

So is really cheaper/profitable overall?

Why do people get contract phones rather than just buying them?

Just curious.

For the majority of phones it really is.
iPhone is possibly the only one exception though, that is the case here.

because its a lot of money to pay out straight away. i was going to buy my iphone from apple and get a simplicity sim and put the cost of the iphone on my credit card but when i worked it out id only be saving £2 per month. in the end i opted for £26 per month which was cheaper still.

when i sell my phone i'll end up £150 better off and on a contract price that isnt available on the phone i want. :j

yeah but thats because i want to be sure that i dont have to pay a bigger price for breaking contract

you can use your Sim any kind of mobiles and you don't have to pay big price.
