Starting off
Upgrading a phone usually means getting a newer model with more features, but it’s not always necessary. You may be able to upgrade your phone for free if you have an older model that is no longer being supported by the manufacturer. There may also be fees associated with some upgrades, depending on the phone and carrier.
How Does an Upgrade Work for Phones

You will be notified when you reach the minimum number of months and will be offered the chance to swap your old phone for a new one.

Do You Have to Trade in Your Phone When Upgrading
When you upgrade your phone, you may be offered the chance to trade in your old phone for a discount on your new one. This can be a good way to get a newer model with features that you want without having to spend a lot of money. However, you should be aware of some things before you trade in your phone.
First, you should know that most phone providers and retailers offer a trade-in incentive. This means that they will give you a discount on your new phone if you trade in your old one. Second, you should be aware of the condition of your old phone. Make sure that it is in good condition and that it is compatible with the new model. If it is not, you may not be able to trade it in. Finally, be sure to take pictures of your old phone and your new phone so that you can remember which one is which. This will make trading in your phone easier.

Some customers might be worried about whether or not they will be able to use the new phone, but usually this is not a problem.

There are some exceptions to this, such as if the customer decides to switch to a different phone network.
