Hi Guy's, does anyone know if it is possible to get a mobile phone on a 1 year contract and get the mobile for free? In the UK for example if you opt for a year contract most mobiles will be given for free, i'm not talking about a sim card only but the full package with phone included.

The reason being is i would like to buy a Sony Ericsson Satio but they are 22k-25k and i don't really want to pay that kind of cash up front unless i really have to.

All replies and experiences would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Short answer is no.

I got mine here in Thailand that way, a cheapie samsung, from mall in central bangna, so yes it's possible. And I didnt even have to get full package, I opted for less minutes than the full.

That would definitely be a no..im sure though if you went in to the shop and told them you wanted that phone they might well give you 500 baht off the price if you take out a 12 month contract!!!

They are nice like that
