Q&A: Can I get a new phone without paying fees?

Question by Lily: Can I get a new phone without paying fees?

I’ve got an LG double play and am on t mobile. I am experiencing errors on my phone in which I cannot receive texts or calls but people can receive mine. I already used up my warranty because there was a manufacturing issue on the first one. Because of this issue and the previous one, I am beginning to think this phone is just a faulty design full of errors. My contract doesn’t go up until July 17 but I was wondering if there’s any way to get a new phone without having to pay the 0 to void the contract. I also don’t want to get a crappy cheap phone just to wait out until the contract goes up. Is there any way to get around this?? Thanks.

Your contract is every 24 months, but the upgrade is 18 months. Anyways T-Mobile got rid of contracted plans, so you’d have to change your rate plan to the new 50 unlimited talk, text, web, and with a new upgrade, that’s going to put your bill at , depending on what phone you get. If it’s been less than 18 months since your last upgrade, there WILL be a transition fee unless you are already on a Value plan. Call and ask. If you’re on Classic, check when your last upgrade was.
