How do an iPhone contract work?
I have an iPhone 4 and had it for almost a year and a half. When would I be able to upgrade my iPhone? And what would it get upgraded into? Is it free?
When your phone contract ends (two years from the start, so you only have 1/2 year left to go) you can buy a new phone at a discounted (subsidized) cost. When you buy a subsidized phone, you'll have to sign up for a new contract again. You can buy whatever phone you want. It is not free, you need to purchase it. During your contract, you can't buy a subsidized phone because you must use the one you have for 2 years. You can, however, buy a phone at full price anytime.
You didn't tell me what carrier you have, but if you have AT&T dial *639# on the phone's keypad to find out when an upgrade is available.
- Will buying an iphone in contract and unlocking cause contract immediate fee? If i buy a iphone for example on att contract and unlock it, will att charge me what's left on the contract or will i just go by like nothing happened and free of contract? I haven't seen this but it makes quite a bit of sense for companies… Not sure if they do however.
- Which is better iphone 5s plan, contract or no contract? I want to get an iphone 5s but i don't know if it's better to get a contract plan or a no contract plan. I would be having to pay every month with a contract and that's annoying. Yet with a contract i wouldn't have to pay that much for the phone would i? If i got the non contract i would get to pay the bill when i want but i would have to pay full price for the phone.
- What's better contract or no contract? The 2 year contract is iPhone 5 for 149.99 one time plus 51 dollars a month. The no contract is iPhone 5 for 579.99 one time or down payment of 99.99 and 20 bucks a month plus 42.50 a month?
- Should I get iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S? No contract or with contract? I don't know what exactly is so much better with the 5 compared to 4S? I'm thinking to get it with no contract because I'll be in Europe over the summer so I'll need another contract over there for a few months so that likely wouldnt work if I got a 2 year contract here in the US is the 5 much more expensive than the 4s? and does the price vary a lot if I buy with/without contract?
