Upgrade for 1 year contract

My upgrade is coming up at the end of Feb and I want to buy a thunderbolt but only for a 1 year contract.  I know that I won't be able to buy the phone at the subsidized price but I want to know if I can apply my upgrade to the phone for a 1 year contract.  
At the end of the 1 year contract I want to buy a new phone with a 2 year contract and get the subsidized price.  Will I be able to do that.
Thanks!!

I did this today, Annual upgrade date was today, still have 1 year left on 2 year contract. I Tried to get the local store to do the upgrade with a 1 year contract, They couldn't. Apparently Annual upgrades on 2 year contracts can only be upgraded with a new 2 year contract, at least by the retail store and online. I called Customer Service and said I wanted to use my upgrade and by a Droid X at the 1 year contract price. The CS rep had to get it approved by their supervisor to bypass the 2 year contract and sell the phone at the 1 year contract price. So, There are no guarantees you can upgrade at the one year price for any phone, but the only chance is to get CS to override the system for the 1 year contract. Good Luck.

  • I have an iPhone 4s that is no longer active on my account. I recently upgraded it after completing a 2-year contract. Is it still possible for me to have the iPhone 4s unlocked even though it is no longer active on my account?

  • If I start a one year contract for photoshop/lightroom, and then 6 months in, I want to upgrade to the full cloud, do I get out of the rest of the payments for the photoshop/lightroom, and just start paying a total cloud fee?

  • Can you still renew a 2 year contract for AT&T at BestBuy?

    I was told that i wouldnt be able to renew my contract with best buy anymore. i planned on using my best buy credit card when i went in.

    Hi andrew, Getting a new phone is an exciting process and we're glad you chose to come back to Best Buy Mobile. Unfortunately AT&T has discontinued 2-year contracts for new and existing customers. However, you are able to upgrade your phone through AT&T Next. For more information about AT&T Next and how it works, you can visit this link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Mobile-Phones-Promotions/AT-T-Next/pcmcat332500050034.c?id=pcmcat332500050034 Sincerely,Alex M.

  • What is the cost of the upgrade if you are under a 2 year contract already?

    Do you have to be clear of a 2 year contract for this iPhone trade-in to be a deal?  Such as I have a 4s that I got at the beginning of August for my first smartphone because it was the free option at the time.  I love the phone but because I just started a 2 year contract I wouldn't qualify to get the 6 for "free" using the trade-in program?  Am I understanding this correctly?  I would love to upgrade to the newer phone but I will admit that I don't want to pay the $400+ difference if I don't qualify to get the 6 for $199 and use the gift card to cover that.

    That is what I figured but I just wanted to have it confirmed before I wasted any effort in thinking I could do it inexpensively.

    I have been using iTunes for years to connect to the radio and just recently tried to tune in and an error sign pops up stating " A error occurred while contracting the radio tunning service. Check your internet connection or try again later." There's no problrm with my internet service so what's up?

    You are probably using an old version of iTunes with which the stream link service seems to have stopped working for many users of older iTunes.  No, Apple makes no comment about this kind of thing.  It may reappear, it may not (it has been dead for over a week now).  Your solution is to upgrade the operating system version on your computer from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 so you can run a newer iTunes, or live without.  You can still open streams if you can get the URL, and you can then save them as playlist items.

  • 2-year contract required to upgrade?

    Is a two-year contract required to upgrade your phone? If so, does this mean that if I buy an iPhone 4, I can't upgrade until the iPhone 6 comes out?

    When the 3GS was released last summer, AT&T offered an early upgrade price for those with a 3G who had not met their contract obligation for the subsidy AT&T paid Apple on their behalf for the 3G they purchased at AT&T's fully subsidized price 12 months or so before. AT&T still offers this now.
    AT&T's fully subsidized price for the 3GS is $199 for the 16GB & $299 for the 32GB. This price is for new AT&T subscribers and for existing AT&T subscribers that qualify for AT&T's upgrade or fully subsidized pricing with a new phone - any new phone including the iPhone.
    AT&T's early upgrade price for the 3GS is $399 for the 16GB & $499 for the 32GB. This price is for existing AT&T subscribers that haven't fulfilled their existing contract for a subsidized phone - for existing subscribers that don't qualify for AT&T's upgrade or fully subsidized pricing with any new phone.
    AT&T's full retail sales price the the 3GS is $599 for the 16GB & $699 for the 32GB.
    AT&T will probably do the same with the next generation iPhone and for the next one after that for those that must have the next generation iPhone when released.
    Before the iPhone, did you get a new phone every 12 months, or every 18 or 24 months?

  • 2 year contract on upgrading phone

    Im a little confused. I changed my phone to a one year agreement so I could get a new phone each year but it sounds like each time I do this I move my contract up 2 years. If I do this the next 3 years I would then have a 6 year contract. Is this right? If so is there no way to keep my phone updated without this happening.

    When you receive a new phone at a discounted price each year (annual upgrade), your contract is extended for 2 years from the date of the new contract.  It is not "added on" to your prior contract, it is a NEW 2 year contract from that date.  So you are never obligated to continue your contract for more than 2 years at any time.
    For instance, you buy a new, discounted phone in January of 2010, and sign the contract through January 2012.  In January of 2011, you take advantage of the annual upgrade to get a new phone, and you sign a NEW contract for two years, through January of 2013.  Come January of 2012, you do the same thing, your contract is through January of 2014, two years from the CURRENT contract origination. 
    HTH,

  • Is anyone else unhappy when upgrading after 2 year contract?

    I have been a Verizon customer for 12 years now, always paying on time and in full.  I just upgraded for the 6th time, and am extremely disappointed with the loss of unlimited data AND a $30.00 upgrade fee that has nothing to do with the price of the phone or plan.  It would seem to me that Verizon would want to keep paying customers happy, especially ones with immaculate paying records.  While the person selling me the device (Matt from Hendersonville, TN Verizon store) was very nice and helpful, I couldn't help but feel "punished" financially for wanting to stay loyal to the company and upgrade my device.  Is it Verizon's policy to gouge every cent from it's most loyal customers?  It makes more business sense to keep an existing customer happy than getting new customers.  I've even thought about paying to get out of my current contract to switch.  Anyone else feel this way?  I understand that I'm paying for a service, but I'm already committing to paying $80+ a month for two more years, and they want another $30 upfront without letting me keep unlimited data????  That's a double whammy if I ever saw one....

    I've tried to explain this before but I'll make another attempt.
    The way a business works is they make the rules regarding how they want to do business.  Then the customer decides if they want to play by those rules.  Now if not enough customers want to play by the businesses rules, the business can change the rules.  Then again the customer decides if he wants to play by those rules.  If enough customers agree to play by those rules, then everyone, (well almost everyone because there will always be a few who complain no matter what) wins.  the customers and the business.  Later, the business can change the rules again and the process starts all over again.
    That why competition is good for the consumer.  Some company will always try to do something cheaper and faster.  This works as long as the companies involed can make a profit. (not a bad thing by the way)  Anyone ever try to get a job with a company that wan't making a profit?  Even if you could, would you want that job?
    Me, I'm just patiently waiting for the release of my next new phone in the summer of 2014.

  • Early Upgrade to 1 year contract

    Hi!
    I am currently 20 months into a 24 month contract.  According to Verizon Wireless I am eligible for an early upgrade, however when I go through the checkout process the only contract type I can select is a 2 year contract.
    My question is, assuming I am willing to forgo the NE2 credit and also pay the 1 year contract price for the phone I want, would I be able to extend my contract for just 1 year instead of 2?
    Thanks!

    You may have to do this with customer service over the phone, rather than through the website - I think it's entirely doable, just not through the website! (The website doesn't seem to handle unique or out of the mainstream transactions, or multiple transactions, very well!)
    My advice, call CS and explain what you want to do. Let us know how it goes....

  • UPGRADE PARTY! ***TWO YEAR CONTRACTS ONLY***

    Now we all know we are SUPER PSYCHED for this new iPhone 4. FINALLY, VERIZON. YOU SHOULDA HOPPED ON THAT BOAT WHEN IT WAS IN DOCK FOR YOU.(You know we had the opportunity to have the iPhone first, right?) Anywayssss, the ones that are happy are the ones that have upgrades. For those that have invested in Androids and phones that have released since last May, but would rather have an iPhone, you're in bad shape (like me). We have signed a two year contract, with no way of getting out of paying a full ridiculous price for another phone. Should Verizon give free upgrades? Anyone else agree? What do you think?
    Note: I'm not a fan of haters. 

    Well what aggravates me is that they are being wishy washy on allowing annual upgrades...which is a legitimate upgrade that is currently on our account.  Other rumors are that the annual upgrade will magically disappear on the 16th.
    So why all of a sudden can we not use an upgrade that we rightfully earned (if this is the case).  And if its not the case and we can use it, then please have your website reflect this when we check eligibility for the iPhone...especially when it shows us eligible for any other phone on the site at a discounted upgrade price.
    Treat your loyal customers well....give us what we've rightfully earned.

  • If I buy an iPhone from the Apple website, and then go to Verizon to activate it, will it reset my 2 year contract? Also, will Verizon charge extra for activating since the price on Verizon is higher than the Apple website's price?

    It's all very confusing to me, I need some answers from experienced customers.

    I already checked. I purchased my iPhone 3G on the launch date back in July '08. I've paid the bill the day my bill was issued, days ahead of its due date, and for some reason, even through it's magic 8-ball wisdom, said I was not eligible for and upgrade. Not till Dec. of this year at least.
    So even though my phone is now technically 'mine' and off their contract, they still won't unlock it for me? How come?

  • Why would you charge me $40 for a supposedly free upgrade?Have been a faithful verizon customer for years went in for myfree upgrade and paid for a iphone and protectve cover now I have to pay a fee for a free service? I will start switching my devices to

    Why would you charge me$40 for a free upgrade? I chose a iPhone and paid you the difference plus protective cover, now you want to charge  me a fee for activating a number I have had for years!!!  I have been a faithful Verizon customer for years but I will switch companies when my contracts are up or I can get a buy out from another company, your free upgrade is not free and is a false advertisement as far as I'm concerned

    However you had already stated you did not choose a "free upgrade", but paid the difference for an iPhone. So much for your "free upgrade". Additionally, I was not aware Verizon was in the business of giving away "free service"(s)?????? Purchasing a "free" or "reduced price" phone IS NOT a free service. You sign a contract in exchange for receiving that benefit. There is an upgrade fee along with that service you are contracted to complete or you will be charged an early termination fee(ETF), so this IS NOT a free service.
    Yes, you have a choice to go with another provider which ALSO charges an upgrade fee OR charges you full retail value for your phone. So much for a "free upgrade" there.
    AT&T = upgrade fee
    Sprint = upgrade fee
    T-Mobile = no upgrade fee but must pay full retail cost for the phone
    For what it is worth, you would not have had to pay an upgrade fee had you simply paid full retail cost for your phone OR purchased it with Edge at full retail cost. Depending on your calling plan and data allowance, you may have even ended up paying less for your phone had you done so. That is why a little research before you make a purchase can go a long way.
    I know it is cheaper for me to pay full retail for a phone than to purchase a discounted device in exchange for signing a contract.
    Good luck with the new provider.

  • UpGrade  for 2  yr contract

    I have 1 more year on my present contract My discount will be in November but it says I can get an upgrade but won't let me select month to month, 1 year
    it ONLY states a 2 year contract.
    I want to replace my phone. I have a Windows 6.1 OS and would like to get a droid
    Should I wait for the Discount in November? or upgrade now and extend 2 more years?
    Thanks

    Thanks
    If you take advantage of your currently available discount (annual upgrade, 2 yr discounted price on the phone of your choice) you will sign a new 2 yr contract beginning now; the old contract will be wiped out.  The additional NE2 discount will go away for good, and you will pay a $20 "early upgrade" fee on top of the discounted price.  If you jus have to have a new phone NOW, this is one way to get it.
    If you wait till November, you will get the 2 yr discounted pricing, plus and additional $30 or $50 NE2 credit, and your new contract will begin when you sign the new contract, and run two years from that point.
    Hope all of this, with the other answers, has helped to clear the confusion.  Post back if you have more questions.

  • Death in family whom just upgraded to new two year contract?

    My son passed away on Dec 30, 2014, we traded upgrades from one phone to his in November, 2014. When I called Verizon to find out what to do, she asked if I wanted to turn the phone off, I said I wanted to keep it on for another month so that I could take care of is affairs. All I was doing was asking questions but she put his phone on a month to month, but showed the phone that we transferred the upgrade to as having upgraded in December, Now my husband has a new two year contract and no phone of his choice. I have contacted Verizon on three occasions to get it corrected but as of 20 minutes ago, it has not been changed. What can I do and whom can fix this. ??

    Sorry for your loss. When upgrades are transferred the original line that had the upgrade gets it's contract extended not the line the upgrade is moved to. Their contract remains the same. So if your husband transferred his upgrade to your son, your husband's line is the one that gets the new 2 year contract. That is not a mistake, it's policy. If your son's line is now month to month when you cancel the line there won't be a ETF.
