Can I sell my iphone 6 while it's under contract? My plan is to sell it then get an unlocked android phone. Is this allowed while under contract? Also how much would an iPhone 6 64gb be worth? Thanks!

I don't think you can sell it as you haven't finished paying for it unless the person who purchases takes over your contract. Not sure if that's possible but I'm saying its a bad idea in my opinion.

You can sell it while it's under contract, just know that if it was financed you will still pay for it until its paid off.

As far as the price goes, check on swappa, ebay, or amazon.

Alright. It's just the sim card that's on contract right? Not the phone? But yeah I plan on putting my sim into a new phone

Eh, more or less, the contract part is you agreeing to pay that network this amount for this service over this period of time.
The phone is part of it because of the subsidy they give you when you buy it but its not affected by selling the phone, the phone would only be affected if you stopped paying the bill.

Another question, why is my phone worth like $600-$800? I only paid like $200 for it?

To answer your question, you pay more money for the device on contract over time compared to buying the phone without a contract. When you purchase a phone on contract it may seem cheaper, but truthfully you end up paying more than the phone is actually worth once your two year contract has exceeded.

If you were to sell your iphone to get an android (why? ) you would be able to use the android but you would have to pay the rest of the iphone off so the bill would remain the same.
Ex: I sell iphone for 600$
I buy andorid for 500$
Bill with iphone 230$
Bill with android 230$

Where I am they're going for 700, then I buy the OnePlus One for $400. 300 profit right there for a much better phone. That's why.
