    We were part of an AT&T family plan with a relative in another state. He was recently hospitalized with terminal cancer and has let his plan lapse. As part of his most recent two-year contract, he obtained an iPhone 5 for my use. I paid $200 for it, the discounted rate under his two-year contract. The contact still has 10 months to run (he stopped paying in December, two months ago), so actually it had a year left under his contract.

    What is my obligation with this phone? Can I use it if I start a new contract with AT&T under my own name? Can I use it on a non-contract (monthly) plan with AT&T? Can I use it with another cell company? I like the phone and do not want my $200 to be wasted.

    If AT&T will not let you get your own contract you should be able to use it on AT&T by purchasing a Prepaid sim card for the phone and using that way. I am not sure they will let you keep the same number if the account was closed.
