Help or my whole christmas ruined

I've been wanting the iphone 5 since the 4S came out, my mom promised me shell get it too.
now she complaining she doesn't have enough money and she doesn't want a contract either.
the only company that offers this is cricket & the phone is $500, 300 dollars over my limit.
does anybody know where on the internet could i get this? [an iphone 5 for $200]
i've had my heart set on it for so long that, i can't even think of anything else for christmas.

you might think i'm a brat, but i didn't even get anything for my last birthday from anybody and last christmas i got a total of $100. Which my mom took and bought my school clothes with.

You can't buy an iPhone anywhere for that price. The iPhone is in high demand and the retail cost is always the same. If you buy the phone, you will pay the full retail price.

Sadly wanting the newest iPhone for a budget price is not likely to happen. A premium phone for a teenager is not a good idea, they are very fragile. A contract is the only way to get that much of a discount. You might need to settle on a slightly older phone.

All major cell phone providers offer the iPhone 5 for $199

Ask yourself, what's the difference between the iphone 5, and 4s?
Do I need that change?
Am I only buying it to show off?
Really, it's not necessary, and you do sound like a brat sorry, not sorry.
Just buy the 4s, or wait until the 5 gets cheaper.
