Yes, you've to signup for a contract if you want to buy the phone at discounted price. Your friend have to pay the monthly cost unless you get the line disconnected paying Early Termination Fee of $350.So the total cost will be $199 + $350 (ETF) + 1-month fee + TAX. You pay $600+ and you get a locked iPhone 5 which can't be used outside AT&T.
