Bonus points: In Germany all phones come unlocked, regardless if you get them with a contract or not, and we still get much better discounts on the phones than in America.

Often times the total cost of the 24 month contract ends up being cheaper than buying the phone without a contract, so you essentially end up with a free phone plan

If you are from the US it will be pretty easy to get German citizenship, but you absolutely have to learn German to live here, since most older people here don't speak English
