Many of you wonder when is the right time to upgrade to a new phone. It really depends on what you need the current offers. And of course, you need to be eligible for an upgrade too. You might also ask – my phone still works, why spend money to upgrade to a new phone? Don’t worry about the cost. Typically, people upgrade when their 24 month contract is almost up and carriers usually offer you free phones to keep you as a customer. However, if you feel your phone is out of style or would like to have the coolest and latest device you can upgrade annually. Keep in mind that you won’t get as much discount as in very 2 year upgrade. And not everyone is eligible (depending on account status). Be sure to check with our current wireless provider for upgrade eligibility before selling your old phone at eBay .
