I am new here, but I agree with RedDragonUT on the issue of fake phones. I bought a CECT i9 off eBay and yes it is a 'fake' iPhone...but guess what...I didn't pay $200 for just the phone, I paid $120.
I will save even more since I am not locked into a 2yr contract. If I went with the contract and legit phone, I would have to pay a required $30/month for the life of the phone for the Data Plan, $100/month for Unlimited Nationwide, and $20/month for Unlimited Text Messaging.
Over just 2yrs, that $200 phone costs $3,800. I saved myself $3,625 since I spend only $25 every 4 months for a pre-paid service.
Best of all, the i9 has all the features that I need in a phone, plus it was even advertised as being a 'unlocked' CECT i9 and not an unlocked iPhone.
Just my .02
