does 299.99 include the phone service

on the galaxy note 4. Offer is 299.99 two year contract and you get the note 4 free.

Hello. Welcome to Android Central.

I think the carrier means, or you heard from them orally, that the balance of the Note 4 is free (according to them).
Which I think is misleading and almost fraudulent. The balance is built in to a 2 year contract.

Please supply more context in your case.

We have the same issue in the UK.
(I don't know which currency you specify).
