Buying a mobile as a minor.

Solved

Hello,
I would like to know if we can buy a mobile phone (I broke mine, so I don't need a new subscription) in cash and as minors, without parents, in a big store like Fnac for example. Because my parents absolutely refuse to accompany me.
Otherwise, I would take my ID, it's better that way.

Thanks again, Alice.

    yes you can even rob the store without your parents
    no but seriously you can buy anything ... even at 13 ...
    not even need your ID but you’re supposed to have it with you all the time

    Good evening
    As long as you buy an unlocked phone, there's no problem. If you buy it second-hand, that's even better.

    It's possible to buy it without a subscription, but the problem is that when you're a minor, you're not allowed to purchase a subscription! Like me, for example, I started working two months ago, I'm only 16, and since I no longer had a phone, I wanted to buy one with my credit card, and they told me that I couldn't because I was a minor and that I needed to change my bank account details, which is strange. So I wanted to know if anyone else has had the same experience.

      Good evening thunder
      Being a minor, even with a credit card, it doesn't work because you are a minor; however, a pay-as-you-go mobile (without a subscription) is sufficient and it works for a minor.

      Yes, that's true, but not with a subscription.
