Free upgrades

I personally haven't had a contract phone yet therefore I haven't received any upgrades. I'm waiting until June until the new iPhone comes out and I'm buying a contract then. Hopefully if another one comes out the year after I will receive an upgrade; I'm not sure how it works though.

I have upto now always upgraded, but to be honest I refuse to be put onto a 18 month contract as just had one with my Iphone. So next upgrade in june I am going onto a sim only tariff and buying a phone maybe off ebay or something like that.

I have a plain, simple phone with no extras so I don't upgrade at all. It's only $15 a month and I have over 40 hours of airtime saved up on it. I'm not really interested in changing phones or upgrading--I rarely use it but I like to have it if I need it.

I find that i dont use contracts that get me the free upgrades because i only have the phone for emergencies or quick im gonna be late or should i pick something up calls. i spend about 20 dollars every 3 months on prepaid minutes as compared to 35 a month for a contract. So i dont get the free upgrades and i only buy the 75-90 dollar phones.

I tend to get another cheap phone if I know I'm gonna continue using the service... I'm currently using T-Mobile... Few weeks ago, I didn't need my blackberry anymore so I went on ebay & got myself one of the most basic phone... It's nokia 8890... Come febuary of next year, I'll probably get a real cheap or even a free phone just to keep it as a back up phone... That's if I'm still happy with Tmobile at the time...

I completely understand how you feel. I usually keep my phone until I start having issues with it like it's completely outdated or in the case of my last phone, it literally started to fall apart(but after 4 years of use what do you want). I don't really understand why people are in such a hurry to switch phones around. I get the applications on my phone that I want, get my contacts set up as I want, get the ringtones and everything set, just the way I want it. Then you think I should go through all that, and pay for all the extras, just because my contract is up? Nope, no thank-you.

I drive the phone companies mad because I don't use my mobile much and only want to make calls or text. I think they think I'm weird Also like you I like my phone and until it breaks down I doubt I'll change it no matter what I'm offered.

no, i dopn't. i hardly ever use mine. my son & his wife gave it to me a few years ago for christmas. it's one of those u have to buy minutes for. glad to have it but i'm home most of the time & usually forget to take it when i go somewhere. duh!
