Ive had several phone contracts with KT and they were always for 2 years. Well 2 years ago almost to the day I signed up once again. I went into my local Olleh shop to inquire about starting a new contract so that I could get a new phone and they told me my contract wasn't finished until May 30, 2016.

I can still get a new phone but have to pay the nearly 300 000 won balance I still owe for my Note 2. I am a little annoyed because it was never communicated to me that the contract would be different than in the past.

Are 3 year contracts the new norm?

And, would anyone like to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 for a good deal? Cool

I have a 3 year contract for the Note Edge to make it a lot cheaper. I think they may just assume you want the cheapest option up front and give you that.
