u dont have to take over the contract, all 3 accounts at my home are all on monthly basis. the reason why she is selling is because she got a T68i (from me for X'mas and birthday

) so she is selling the S40. nothing wrong with it, and the 8260 was the previous phone she used before she bought a S40.
i will ask her if she will sell for $100 but i highly doubted since she paid a lot for it when it came out.
btw, the Siemens S40 was made in Denmark and the 8260 was made in USA.
