my question applies not only to the iphone but all phones in general. You know how they always have those local retail stores that sell a bunch of phones from different carriers, and they always sell the phone for a cheaper price if you sign a 2 year contract? I was wondering how they are able to do that? Theres a local asian phone place here in my area, and they sold the previous iPhone with a 2 year contract for only about 150-200 instead of the original 400 price. Can we trust those phones? What are the chances of them being used phones? Do they somehow have a deal with the carrier which allow them to sell the phones at a cheaper price? Is it legal?? haha.. Hope I made sense. Thanks for answering
