some1 offered me to take over his vodacom weekend plus contract, with an N70 phone, the cost associated with this switch is R230, should i be paying this cost or should he. the contract is currently at R135/month. he also mentioned that i should pay him for the phone, isn't he supposed to give it for free or at most, how much should i pay for the phone. suggestions will be appreciated.

Lol pay half of the R230. Nothing for the phone, in the next 18 months you end up paying for the phone yourself.
That's like 4 months of the contract that he's paid for. So you would get the remaining contract and still have to pay for the phone. This hardly seems fair and if you have to buy the phone from him too, he will probably make a profit from his contract. It sounds to me like he's trying to take you for a ride
i'm still keeping my options open, just looking for ways to get a good deal in my favour from this guy.

why not just take out your own contract ?
just did some maths, out the R135/month, R100 goes to airtime while R35 goes to the price of the phone, he paid 4 months which equal to R150 and i'll be paying 20 months which equals to R700, so i should only pay him R150 for the phone. correct me if i'm wrong.
