Help needed on getting upgrade on daughters phone.

Hi all

My daughter has been on her present contract for one year, she has one more year in the contract.

Several of her friends have told her if she phones and asks foran upgrade she will get one.


Is this how contracts work? We have never had one before...

Depends on the contract, as some providers only let you upgrade after the end of the contract, some a few months before the contract ends & some half way through.
One of daughters was with three on a 2 year contract & upgraded to a new phone after 12 months.
I'm on Orange on an 18 month & get mine a few months before the 18 months is up.
I recently got a blackberry & I love it - even though I don't know how to use it properly

It's worth ringing them & asking though! We do all our upgrades through the carphone warehouse now - you can do this whichever provider you are with & they seem to have a better choice in phones.

Anyhow, I would ring them, whichever company your daughter is with and they will tell you her eligibility and what phones are on offer to her. Some companys even have an automated service that tells you when you are eligible for a new phone.

I would phone your provider, they will tell you when she is eligible for change,

But I think, 12 mths through a 2yr contract, will not be eligible for an upgrade,

As others have said, usually a couple of mths before!!
