AT&T announced that all plans will have a 24-month upgrade policy across all of AT&T’s wireless products.
The change of plans applies for all contracts that expire in March 2014 or later.
AT&T will still offer subsidized phones and you are eligible to upgrade your device at the subsidized price after 24 months. You may also:
- You can share an upgrade with another person on your account as long as it is within the same device category (e.g. phone to phone, tablet to tablet, etc.)
- After you’ve completed six months of a contract, you can qualify for partial discount off the full retail price when you sign a new two-year wireless agreement.
- You can pay full retail price for a phone anytime without a two-year Service Commitment.
- You’re welcome to bring a compatible GSM-capable phone to AT&T and sign up for service without a Service Commitment.
To check if you are eligible for an upgrade.
- In your AT&T account hover over Profile at the top of the page and select User Information.
- Chose the Contract Information section where your contract end date is listed. To view your Contract Start and End Date, select the Customer Service Summary & Contract link.
- Your Contract Start and End Date is the duration of your most recent AT&T wireless contract. If your contract has ended, the Contract Start and End Date will state that you are currently not under contract and may be eligible for an upgrade.
