   One thing to note with these plans is that you are leasing the phone. You have to give it back in good working order after your contract ends.

   They don’t list any plans where you own the phone after two years yet… it is normally about $10 more per month.

      Huh? Since when? Ive had probably 8 phones on contract and never had this happen. Maybe in America this happens but over 24 months in Australia you pay the phone off and own it by the end date.

         Nope. They are a relatively new plan model that most providers are offering now. I know with Telstra it is called a swap plan and you can trade in your phone after 18 months instead of 2 years and they will waive the remainder of the plan and put you on a new one..

   Yea it’s a new thing from Optus… if you look at the bottom of each package, it says “lease Now” instead of “buy now” on their website they explain it better. It’s a pretty shitty deal imo.
