Used your own money or parents? Or someone else?

Bought my last 2 phones (IPhone 6+ & 6s+) with my own money.

yup. saved for it and bought it upfront, without a contract

My parents. I don't pay for anything

Yea, my iPhone 4 was dying and I came to the conclusion that my parents aren't going to buy me a phone
So, I got a job but then my hours was basically tanking thus making it harder and harder to save up for my phone so my family paid off 20% of it and I paid for the rest for my iPhone 5S

mine ofc

Yeah I bought my own, but it doesn't make you superior than those who had help from their parents.

yep. i've spent WAY too much money on phones tbh. they keep getting broken or lost

edit: i've just done a quick calculation and i've spent over £3000 on phones since 2008

Yes, I bought my iPhone 6 128GB with my own money

My current one yeah...past ones nah

Who buys phones, full up front, anymore, when you could lease them?

I have a contract.

Bought my samsung Galaxy 6 using my hard-earned money

Well I found an idiot and sold him mine iPhone 4S for way too much money and then just added some more money and bought 5S. So yeah. I'd rather have my boy buy it for me but I'm a strong independent bitch.

FreeAsMyWeave gave me his old phone this week which I am currently using.

(I DROPPED MY OWN SELF-PURCHASED ONE DOWN A FLUSHING TOILET SO IT STOPPED WORKING)

Yes, I still have an iPhone 4s

I have to pay myself so I got it when it was $0 for a 2 year plan

My parents always bought me a new phone years ago, I'm still paying off my phone at the minute, it's a 2 year contract, I'm 13 months into it. 11 months left.
