Yesterday, AT&T took to their blogs to announce a few changes to their policy – namely their upgrade eligibility. Following Verizon’s lead, AT&T now also requires a full 2 years (24 months) to receive a full subsidized upgrade. This applies to any subscribers whose contract ends on March 2014 or later. But the carrier was kind enough to share the may upgrade options so their customers are aware.
Here are your new options to upgrade:
- Purchase a subsidized device with a new two-year wireless agreement. You will be eligible to upgrade your device at the subsidized price after 24 months.
- Share an upgrade. Share an upgrade with another person on your account provided it is within the same device category (e.g. phone to phone, tablet to tablet, etc.)
- Early upgrades. Once you’ve completed six months or more of your Service Commitment, you qualify for partial discount off the full retail price when you sign a new two-year wireless agreement.
- Trade-in. Take advantage of our trade in program. And, for a limited time, when you trade in your current smartphone (three years or newer and in good working condition), you could receive at least $100 off the purchase of a new smartphone.1
- Purchase a device at full retail price. You can pay full retail price for a phone anytime without a two-year Service Commitment.
- Bring your own device. You’re welcome to bring a compatible GSM-capable phone to AT&T and sign up for service without a Service Commitment.
Consider yourself informed.
