That's a good point. When I was 17 and wanted a phone in Australia, I needed an adult to sign the contract for me. My mother wouldn't do it, mostly because I would have had to take her to a store during a work day, so I got my 19 year old sister to put it in her name - I paid the bill myself (just as I would have if my mother had signed it for me).
