If you can't afford an off-contract phone, you really can't afford an on-contract phone. You just don't know it yet ... ;-)

  it's too much thinking to realize that

    Isn't it more about the instant gratification part of the whole deal? People usually think it's easier/better/nicer to receive what they want and pay over time rather than to save the money and buy it at a later date. Or am I just wrong?

      in Albania people buy a 700$ phone when they have a salary of 300$/month so i don't know what to believe anymore

  It's not that different than contracting a mortgage of asking for a lease to pay a car... Maybe it's not a matter of "affording" the same way most people cannot afford to pay for a house on the spot, but I can understand that some people prefer to pay ultimately more money, but a much smaller sum over time.

    If your credit is good enough for a phone contract it's probably also good enough for a credit card that could buy the phone outright.
