I bought skyrocket within first 3 weeks of june 2012, and do i have to wait until 3 weeks within june 2014 to upgrade phone/ contract to end? or have they changed their wait time?

Yes, and No. You can pay a early termination fee and get out from under a contract. The fee will be based off how much time you have left on your contract. You can upgrade anytime by buying a phone outright. If you want to avoid the extra fee then yes you have to wait until the anniversary date to upgrade or get out of contract. Sometimes they give special deals and let you upgrade to a newer phone early. You should call AT&T and ask what your options are. They don't bite.

The early upgrade price would be $199.99 plus $75 dollars for the early upgrade price. Anybody at the AT&T should be able to offer you that.

[Q] End of Contract -> Prorate?

My 2 year contract with AT&T just ended yesterday, December 20, which means I'm on a month-to-month basis right now. I have not cancelled it yet.
I'm planning to switch to T-Mobile in a few days, but I'm still with AT&T as well since I haven't cancelled it yet.
If I switch to T-Mobile, then cancel my AT&T contract, will I have to pay for the whole month for AT&T? Or will I just pay a prorated fee for what serviced I've used thus far?
Thanks

AT&T Early Upgrade

So quick question. I have a Iphone 5 under contract in AT&T from April 26th. I might go for the HTC one or S4 in the Future, like in the upcoming months. How long before we can use a early upgrade?( I am talking about the one with the extra $250 that you pay for getting a different phone).
Thanks

[Q] Best option for minor (17)

Hello XDA,
I'm 17 and I currently have a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. My contract expires in March 2015. With the LG G3 coming out, or already out, I would like to know what carrier I should go with (I'm 17 so I can't sign any contracts legally) and still get the G3? Right now, to exit my contract and get the G3, I'd spend $350 roughly. $200 ETF and $100 for the upgrade. But because I'm so close to 18, my dad won't let me upgrade.
I had a 2013 Nexus 7 32GB which I sold to get the G3. As of now I have just enough to get the G3 off contract, but I'd prefer NOT to.
My thought:
T-Mobile with the base plan and pay the phone off over 24 months. BUT, because I'm 17, I can't do that. I'd have to go with a no credit check plan and I can't pay the phone off over time, I have to get the phone unlocked.
Many stuck, much option.

Samsung upgrade programme

I went for this and will upgrade present contract to a sim only deal. Overall it's a similar price to a 24/12 contract but I get the option to upgrade after a year. What do others think?
Did same in UK Samsung online, pretty happy overall . .getting the option to upgrade to the S8 when it arrives next March is a winner in my book
Oh and a free gear vr means i can sell my S6 with my innovator edition gear vr i had for my s6

Did exactly the same thing will switch to sim only on August when contract is up. Will save me about 200 pound over the two years instead off a two year contract and can upgrade to next Samsung next year . 27 is pounds a month and no network bloat . Can't wait till the 8th
Wish they had this in the states.

Same. If Apple can, why can't Samsung?
I thought this idea came from the states . Mabe they are trialing it here. Will put straight into a case as scratches are counted after the year. I emailed the re getting a gear vr as it was not stated on the email and here is my reply Thank you for contacting Samsung UK Online Shop.
We would like to confirm that all pre-orders placed on Samsung UK
Online Shop are eligible to receive the free Gear VR Lite headset.
The product will be added automatically to all pre-orders in a few days.
We remain at your disposal, might you need any further assistance.

So it's the vr lite which I guess is the latest consumer version.
I'm on Sprint here in the States and they have the Galaxy Forever plan which is like their iPhone Forever deal. You basically do the 24 month phone lease plan and after 12 months you can upgrade to the next Galaxy (S8 I would assume next year) or if you wanted a different brand etc you would need to wait the 24 months OR pay off the remaining year's worth of lease payments to swap early. So yah as long as you want the new Samsung replacing the S7 you would just give them the S7 and they would give you the new Galaxy phone. I guess the only difference would be that your charges may go up or down depending on the new phones monthly lease cost.
I went for this in the UK and I note this adds £84 on top of the sim free price of the Edge. About £3.50 a monthj
I have one year left of a 2 year contract and so I'll see what to do in January. I could end up paying off the Samsung S7 Edge and selling it and then taking out a new contract with whichever network to get the new phone.
One thing I couldn't tell, if I pay it off early do I save some interest?
I worked it out, it's £30 a month plus £15 or so for a sim only deal, so £45 all in - same price as a normal contract
In uk sim only deals usually 1/12 and not 24/12 so worth bering in mind as may be cheaper in a year.

I can't see it mentioned either, but as it seems similar to a lease there must be some early termination charge. Probably better off to speak to them directly as it isn't mentioned at all in their T&C's.
EDIT: Also it seems to be 14.9% APR interest
I'm definitely doing this. The contract on my S6E isn't up till March next year but by doing this I can sell my old Edge as part of payment for the remainder of my contract, then switch to a sim only plan next year. It's the only way I could do it without buying the phone outright. I can't see anyone beating Samsung for the next two years in terms of phones, besides the Nexus line. And besides, you don't have to upgrade to the S8 if you don't want to either. Can just continue your monthly payments as normal, so pretty much a no brainer.
I really wanted to do this. under £30 a month and an upgrade to the latest galaxy device after 12 months (providing you return the existing handset). Unfortunately, due to one late payment recorded on my credit file this year, Samsung have refused me
That's too bad! I think mobile contracts are easier to get than this type of credit, not sure though.
The only problem with upgrading after 12 months is that you sign another 24 months contract.

I generally have good credit but Samsung will not accept if there is even 1 late payment recorded on your credit file.
You do sign another 24 month contract but if you return the handset after 12 months, they wipe the remaining 12 months.

This still works out cheaper than my current contract . If I want to upgrade with Vodafone ots 56 a month for the exact same tariff . By buying the phone on the upgrade program even with the little bit of interest I'm still saving around 200 over the two years going sim only and this offer

It says you can make payments or pay off whenever if you paid it off in say 6 months you wouldn't then pay interest on the remains 18 months
I was thinking of taking the plunge doing the upgrade programme route, I usually buy the phone outright as I have a business sim card in the phone.
How's everyone finding the programme so far now it's been out for awhile?
