I want to buy a new phone but I do not have the cash flow. However, my phone is eligible for upgrade with 2 year contract (which I plan to sign on to). It occurred to me that I can renew my contract and receive a free phone, the upgraded one, then sell it on Ebay.
They are offering an AT&T Quickfire for free upon renewal. On Ebay, they sell for about $200, which is enough to buy the phone I desire.
Is there any problems with this? Is it illegal? I understand the phone will be locked to AT&T, but I will just sell it like that, with proper advertisement of course. Any problems with what I am considering?
Will it work on another AT&T sim, such as the one the hypothetical buyer would use?
Other phones available for upgrade: Blackberry Curve 8310, Samsung Eternity, Pantech Matrix, Samsung A787 Propel.
