This is the determined time frame that the cell phone company designates for you to keep service with them to get the discounted price of the phone. You can opt not to this and pay the full (ridiculous) price of the phone. Cell phone companies really rely on the residual income versus the sale price of the phone. They actually profit more on the accessories and services that come or you can get with the new phone than just the phone itself

After two years, the company will allow you to switch to another phone from their carrier.
If you want to end the contract early, there is a month policy in which the phones are categorized: smartphones and regular phones. The company deducts how many months you used up in your contract.
Example: Suppose you used the phone for 12 months, then you'd have to pay a year's worth of month policies to get rid of the contract.
