It doesn't cost me anything. I do a hardware upgrade and get thee new iPhone for 200 dollars and extend my contract by an editional year. Then sell my old iPhone on kijiji to cover the cost of the new one.

If anytime in that year I damage my phone I call in and get a replacement under warranty

I do the same, but most carriers have a 30 month upgrade plan. Mine is every year on my corporate plan, so I just upgraded, sold my old Galaxy S to cover the cost of the upgrade. Free phone every year!

ya thats what I did to go from my storm to my torch, but the upgrade for tellus in the smart phones is 20 bucks / month, so that would be 480.00 for a two year early upgrade. plus you just get the 3 year rate on the phone so that would be 580.00 to upgrade after one year on a 3 year plan.

I get a free upgrade annually with our corp plan, so just the regular cost of the phone for 3 yr contract. The S2 was 159, sold my S for 175.

iPhone for new iPhone upgrade is free too. Just pay the 3 year term price and add 1 year to existing term

huh? My wife has an iphone, and on her retail plan, she has to have the phone for 30 months before she can upgrade without any extra charges. This is on Bell. My friend says her's is the same on Telus.
You're adding a year, so upgrading after 2 on existing contract? My option is for any phone, not android specific, if I had an iphone or BB, same thing. We get the annual upgrade as we have a lot of employees.

ya tellus you can do a paid upgrade at any time but it goes like this.

you take the discount you recived so if you got a 599 buck phone for 99 with a 3 year deal and you have 24 months left on the contract you have to pay 333 bucks plus the new 3 year contract price of the new phone.

so this is what it would cost me to upgrade now. after 30 months they wave the upgrade fee. this used to be 24 months for a free upgrade.

its actualy more expensive to upgrade a Iphone as they are 200 bucks more than anything else to start.
