How often can you upgrade a cell phone?

I'm a customer with Verizon wireless, and I know they have discounted upgrade programs, but would like to know how often I'm allowed to upgrade my phone at these discount prices. I can't afford to pay full price for a new phone.

You can usually upgrade your phone once a year. If Verizon isn't allowing you to do this, go ahead and switch to another carrier, because everyone else will let you upgrade.

With Verizon they usually have you sign a 2-year agreement whenever you get a new phone. So the answer to your question is every 2 years.

With verizon it depends on how long your contract is. With their one year plan you can upgrade your phone at a discounted price in 10 months from start of contract. With their two year plan you can upgrade in 20 months with even greater discounts.

i believe the best possibly way to handle that would be to run your contract out sign up for a new contract and get a new phone for free

Discounted prices are dependent on your specific plan. Traditionally you are allowed to upgrade your phone every 2 years (accepting a new 2 year contract).

It is 20 months from the last discounted purchase or annually for rate plans of $59. 99 or more a month. Store manager can override these rules.
