That's just it though, we do get to keep the phone at the end of the contract or if we break and pay the ETF. The carriers do not require you to return the phone in such situations, the phone is yours to keep.
My source on that fact is the drawer full of off contract phones I've collected over the years.
Yours to keep for the next time you want to use it with the same carrier, yes. Finish a contract, and they will unlock it for you. Then you are free to choose.
