I mean working in a phone shop i wouldnt know how many people buy ouy handsets..... they dont come "free" your paying nearly double the odds for the phone

Oh I know how contracts work, you get a free phone, and the cost of the phone is added to your line rental. However, the phone is separate of your contract. The point still stands that there is no upfront cost for the device.

I work on the otherside sorting it out when people stop paying the bills :P So I constantly have the argument of "the phone stopped working" etc as reason for early termination of a contract.

its not really a free phone if in the end your paying 2-3x the amount of it, when line rentals really are about £6:50 for 250 mins 5000 texts and 500 mb data

 

also its changing now, newer contracts are being set up with two contracts and one direct debit, and one is a credit agreement for the phone, so they are no longer free, starting with the s4
