What happens when my AT&T contract is up?
Well I have an iPhone 5 that I bought under a contract from AT&T. I was wondering how this upgrade thing works? Like do I have to pay for my upgrade? Do I have to repay the $150 I payed for not having that good of credit? Do I go back to AT&T or Apple? Basically how is the process into getting a new phone? And also what should happen if I wait and go past the 2 years to get a new phone?
I went in to ATT, looked at all the phones, picked one out and paid for it and the contract continued.
Starting the day after contract is up, your bill basically becomes month-to-month.
Can drop at any time you please. You're free.
Also, phone is legally now your's. Have ATT contact Apple and unlock the phone. You can now use on many other (and cheaper and monthly) networks if you prefer. You will need to go to ATT for that.
$150 is way gone--don't worry.
If/when you buy another phone from ATT you will start ANOTHER contract--probably not the one you have but insist you keep it if you can at all.
Good news is you can use the old 5 as an iMessaging iPod or actually sell it for pretty good money.

- What happens to all the photos etc on my iphone after my contract ends? I'm with O2 and my 24month contract is finished next week. I've chosen not to continue with o2 as I'm giving my mum my phone and she will use her own o2 sim. So what happens to all my photos, videos, apps etc on my iphone 4s? Will everything still be there, just won't be able to phone or text?
- What happens if you cancel a 3 year IPhone contract and sell the phone? Like just stop paying the bill, because its like $200+ every month. Then cell the Iphone. What can they do? Also, the phone isn't in my name. It's in my ex boyfriends.
- What happens if you buy a iPhone of eBay and it happens to be stolen? I typed in a serial number of an iPhone into apple checker and it said the phone has not been activated? The phone is still sealed in its box is the phone ok to buy?
- What happens if I Unlock a Contract T-Mobile iPhone 4? Okay so i have my sisters iPhone, she stopped paying her bills about a year ago so it's locked, meaning i can't phone anyone, buy apps, stuff like that. But what happens if I unlock it? Will i be able to call people, use a new t mobile chip and buy apps? Bare in mind that's it a t mobile iPhone 4.
