How can I get an iPhone 3G for 200 without a contract?

Question

I live in rural south dakota and SURPRISE SURPRISE i don't get service from at&t...

so, how can I gtet an iphone without a contract?

Also, how could I use it without a contract (I knew you could jailbreak it at one point, but i don't want to with my iphone (i did with my itouch).

It doesn't really matter if I actually get cell service or not, because i could prolly get an at&t contract and just use it through their partners

Answer 1

You can't. Don't fall for scams that say you can. The $200 price is only for when you sign up for a contract. They subsidize the price because they know for sure that youll be staying with them for two years. The only way you can get a contractless one is if you sign up for a contract and pay the early termination fee on the contract. Don't buy the iphones that are already contractless from att b/c they're more expensive than if you just terminate the contract yourself.

Answer 2

Seriously speaking . What works for me all the time is Craigslist. You won't get a better deal and no contracts.
