YES; as long as the SIM works in that phone.
4 months before your contrat expires
Either visit a ATT store and renew it or find a new provider
In your situation, you have two options. You can either wait until your contract expires (this makes your phone contract free and unlocked), or you can see if you can pay a heavy fee to get out of your contract early.
The majority of mobile phone companies will offer you a choice of a free or low cost cell phone when your contract expires. They do this to ensure that you will remain a loyal and continued customer. It is best to contact your particular provider to find out what upgrades they will provide.
You stay on the contract, however your next renew date will be another 2 years.
Yes the phone is officially yours! It's not like a lease or anything where you have to give it back at the end. While the phone is free, phone companies make their profits from the monthly contracts. Tons of people use their upgrade to get an expensive cool phone with intention of selling it online. They just keep using their old phone and get a couple hundred bucks.
Yes because is if you buy a contract it is going to cost more. And if you don't have a contract it will cost more.
A non-contract iPhone (in the US at least) costs typcally $450 more than it's contract counterpart. The benfit is that with out a contract, you are not obliged to hold onto that same phone for 2 years (mostly), and if you want to upgrade before your contracat expires, you have to pay an annoying fee to get out of your contract.
You can get a new phone if your old one breaks. They will probally replace it with the same model as your old one. Depending on the terms of the contract, you might be able to buy a whole new phone. It depends on the phone company.
With most companies, you would be able to get a new phone the day your contract ends. Some companies will even allow a new phone before the contract ends, as long as it is paid for.
