The phone was yours as soon as you signed up to your original contract. The provider of the handset has no claim to it.0

As Earthworm says, the phone is yours - you buy it outright when you pay for it.0

Phone contracts have a minimum term but continue until you stop them.
If you want to cease your contract you have to tell the network. Otherwise they will continue to provide service and take money.
Once you have paid the contract minimum term and given notice to end it the phone is yours to keep.0 -
The phone is yours to keep or sell from day 1.0

the phone is yours to keep from the start, it has nothignt o do with completing the minimum term.0 -
The handset is not a part of your airtime contract.I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂0
