Phone Upgrade

2005-07-25, 11:48 pm

I copied this from a cell phone forum . . ."I believe after 6 months you
can 'upgrade' but that requires addition time on your contract."

Anyone know if this is true?

an upgrade is only after so many completed months of a contract. On a
2yr contract you are able to upgrade after 21 months. And yes and
upgrade will extend you contract.

If you are on a 24 month contract, a "standard" upgrade is possible after 21
months or after 12 months if your average monthly bill is 75 bucks before
taxes for that specific line. On a one year, standard upgrade is available
after 11 months. The 6 month clause is for an "exception" upgrade, which
means you sign a new 24 month contract AND pay one year contract pricing for
the phone.You then must complete 21 months before ANY subsidy is possible.
Any subsidy of the phone price always requires that you sign a contract.

Now, if you are referring to changing your rate plan...you can do so any
time you wish (up or down), but to get promotional elements of the rate plan
you must either be in the first half of your contract or agree to 11 months
(verbal agreement is fine). This does not affect your time frame for
standard upgrade, only your end of service date.
