  • Will my iPhone 4s be out of contract if I upgrade? If I upgrade my iPhone 4s to an iPhone 5 by doing an early upgrade and paying the $250 early upgrade fee does that make my iPhone 4s out of contract? Or does that phone still have to wait out the 2 full years before it can be unlocked?

  • New sprint iphone4s contract upgrade to iPhone 5? I needed a phone for a trip I was taking so I started an new contract intending to get an iPhone 5 but I didn't have enough money at the time, so I got the 4s.

  • Is there a point to change out SIM cards when you upgrade to a new iPhone? Since iPhone utilizes iCloud for contacts, data, etc. Is there a point of switching an older SIM card into a new iPhone you purchase? Especially if you contact your carrier to update the number?
