I dont use that, so I dont know. Still weird if you get a 800$ phone for 480$ though...

They aren't 12 month contract, they're often 2-3 years and there is a massive thing with them though, unless you sign up for insurance on the phone (which costs more) if you drop or damage the phone you need to shell out a massive amount to have it replaced or else you are left paying your bill every month and have no phone to show for it.

Phone contracts are an amazing money spinning device which are very heavily pushed by phone stores here, find it strange you havent' encountered them too much.

I know of them, but even if its a 3 year contract and you get every Iphone for like 10 years, then the phone stores have to pay more than what you pay them. Just seems weird. I guess they get the phones way cheaper.
