How to buy a iphone 4 for Sprint without a 2-year contract?

I want to give it as a gift for my boyfriend, but i don't want to pay 600 for the retail price. Any ways around it?

Nope.

The $600 price is the full price of the phone.

When you buy it for $200, the cell phone carrier is subsidizing the phone, and paying the difference.

You either pay $600 now, or you pay $200, and get the contract where you essentially pay the rest over 2 years.

For a new iPhone4 you can either pray for an iPhone or pay full price, or buy a used iPhone from craigslist or eBay. The iPhone is 4 is now older thus should not be that much.

  • Will my iPhone be free after my two year contract with Sprint? I need to get an iPhone 5S with 32GB. What will the price be? Can the price be lower if I trade in the iPhone 5 I have now?
  • Sprint, IPhone4s. 2 year contract? I want the iPhone 4s from sprint. My mom wants to sign the 2 year contract and the people who work there said they had to check her phone credit. My mom doesn't have the best of credit, but they said "phone credit". Does that mean they'll check only her history with phones or everything?
  • My sprint two year contract? Yesterday i tried buying the new iphone 5 for 200 with the two year contract from sprint. But I couldnt because my contract doesn't end until next year in October. I've had my phone for a year already but I want to know if i cancel my contract now how much would it cost me? or if i end my contract in mid January how much would it cost me? there was also something about an upgrad which i don't understand. Please explain that.
  • Is it better to buy a iphone with a contract or without a contract? Because with a contract you have to pay monthly fees $60 - $100 and without a contract you pay more for the phone without the monthly fees
