Does verizon let people upgrade early?

I have a samsung fascinate, and i have gotten 2 replacements and its slowly going again. I don't want to keep replacing them and i'm eligible for a upgrade in feburary. I know it is in four months, but is there anyway they can let me upgrade now? I want to get the iphone, I'm in college now and I need a smart phone for college. I'm on my dads plan, I think it is a family plan and I'm the next eligible upgrade so taking someone elses is out of the question.

Yes but it will cost a lot of money because you have to pay full price for the phone unless you wait then they will pay for part of it

Your best bet is to call up and ***. Tell them that you are tired of replacing their broken phone, and insist on a new one. If they stand firm, tell them that when your contract expires, that you won't be renewing, with or without an upgrade. That'll get their attention for sure, and they will likely give you whatever you want.
