Can I upgrade my Sprint Phone early?
I went from iPhone to Galaxy in March when I was eligible to upgrade. I now miss IOS and would like to get an iPhone XS Max, but with the Galaxy Forever plan it says I have to make 12 monthly payments before I'm eligible. I was wondering if I could upgrade now and if I can how much extra would it cost?
Sure you just pay off the amount that equals what is left of the 12 months you owe to for fill the conditions of the contract. To find out you call customer service to find out the lump sum up front payment that you need to make to upgrade.

Once you're ready to upgrade your device, Sprint has several great options for eligible customers. You can determine your upgrade status at any time by visiting sprint.com/upgrade. We have listed your upgrade options below and also have provided some general terms of our program.
Here are the ways you can upgrade with Sprint (Note: All accounts must be in good standing without any past-due, unpaid balances):

To learn more about our lease program, please visit sprint.com/lease. At the end of any lease term, you are required to turn in your current device or purchase your device.
iPhone and Samsung Forever Programs
If you participated in one of our Forever Programs, once eligible, you may choose to upgrade to the latest iPhone or Samsung models with a new lease agreement and give back your current eligible device. After upgrade, remaining unbilled lease payments for giveback device are waived. And, you will need to turn in your current eligible, good-functioning device and enter into a new Lease Agreement. An upgrade fee of up to $30 may apply. Visit sprint.com/iphoneforever or sprint.com/galaxyforever for more information.
Sprint Installment Agreement
Once your installment agreement has been paid in full (either over 24 months or before), you are eligible to upgrade to a new device. You also may be eligible for an early upgrade. If you would like to purchase an upgrade device through monthly installment payments, you will need to enter into a new installment agreement. An upgrade fee of up to $30 may apply.

General Upgrade Terms and Conditions
•Even if you're eligible to upgrade, if Sprint assigns your lease, you will have the right to take advantage of the upgrade only if Sprint simultaneously transfers ownership of the new qualifying device and assigns the new Lease Agreement to the assignee of your lease, unless otherwise specified by the assignee of your lease.
•For all installment and lease agreements, the line associated with the device is required to maintain an eligible service plan with the device. If service is cancelled, any remaining unpaid balance becomes due immediately.
•Customers on certain plans may not be able to upgrade to a subsidized device and certain plans may not be available to customers who upgrade to a subsidized device. Customers with subsidized devices may be subject to a higher monthly rate when moving to certain plans.
•Current customers who have fulfilled their Service Agreement, Installment Agreement or Lease Agreement and are eligible to upgrade can try their new device for 14 days. Customers who upgrade their device before the end of their installment billing agreement or lease agreement, including as part of a "Forever" program, can exchange a device within 14 days but can't return the device. See sprint.com/returns for more details. Customers who upgraded from a discounted device before the end of their Service Agreement and have chosen to return their device within the eligible period will be returned to their prior contract status and will be subject to any prior Service Agreement.
•After your next upgrade, it could take 1-3 months for your upgrade eligibility to reflect the correct eligibility date(s).
•Please note that these upgrade options are not available in all Sprint channels and only certain devices may be eligible.
•Sprint may change or terminate this program at any time at Sprint's sole discretion
How did your cellular provider answer your question? They are the ONLY ones who can answer your question. How could anyone imagine otherwise?
- What is the different between full upgrade and early upgrade? So AT&T said I qualify for a early upgrade on my iPhone now but I quality for a full iPhone upgrade in october. What is the difference?
- Verizon upgrade date? Any way to upgrade early? So today I went to the Verizon store to get the new iPhone 6. It came to 399, and everything was cool. But then, they realized I couldn't upgrade phones until March of 2016, and that if I still wanted the phone, it would come too around 800 dollars. So I was like yeah no thanks, and I left, all bummed out. So I was wondering if there's any way I could get the iPhone but, not for that outrageous price?
- Is there a way to get sprint to let you upgrade early from a 2 year contract? I have 2 iPhone SE's I got with sprint for free with a 2 year contract. It will be exactly a year i've had the contract in june this year and my contract does not end until june 2018. I've been having problems with the phone getting over heated and shutting off. I want to uprgrade to a iPhone 7 with financing. Everytime I call they tell me with a attitude to either wait another year or pay a $350 termination fee for each device.
- If i buy a iphone online, can i activate it without paying the early upgrade fee? I have AT&T. Actually, it doesn't need to be an iphone… I'm possibly looking into getting an HTC or something smiler…
