Can I sell my phone while on contract

I'm curious on if I can sell my phone while I'm still on contract. But still continue to pay it off month by month as normal

@Tjmitchell2203 Nothing stopping you. If you call customer services you can ask what it will cost you to pay it off in full. If you do this you’ll receive a 20% discount over the remaining term so it’s actually cheaper to pay it off in full as opposed to paying it off over the remaining term.

@XRaySpeX Even before 6 months even though you are still paying for it, no network as yet has taken legal action for anyone doing such a thing providing they continue paying said contract on time and do not breach any other T&C that could mean EE request that the device to be returned.

@Tjmitchell2203 Just remember to give notice when you get to 30 days of the minimum term or the contract will continue on a 30 day rolling contract until notice has been given.

OK, @Chris_B , I'm only stating what's lawful. I wouldn't want to lead the OP into unlawfulness. There's always a 1st time!

@XRaySpeX And all @Tjmitchell2203 has to say is why have other customers done such a thing and nothing has came from it. If any network wanted to actually do this they would need to have a damn bloody good reason why they’ve not pursued other customers who have done it previously. And to prove such a thing just look at eBay when the next iPhone is released you’ll see them on there will inflated prices as people try to cash in on it.
