Upgrades??

I was wondering how upgrades worked at Sprint. I have a friend that last had an upgrade about 25 months ago. About 6 months ago, her phone started messing up and her mom gave her one of her old ones. Well, that phone is messing up, but she said she was told that she can't upgrade (at a discounted price) because the last phone added to her account was only added 6 months ago. They don't go by the last time you upgrade, because their system can't hold the date. Instead, they go by the month the phone was added to your account.

This sounds very weird to me. At Cingular, we can upgrade after 21 months in a 24 month contract. At 20 months, if I buy a phone on Ebay, add it to my account, and use it as my primary phone, I can still upgra...

I have done esn changes to my account and it did not extend my agreement.

At the time of equipment change you must specify to the customer service agent that you are buying the equipment at full price or it is your own equipment.

Maybe they changed the plan also and that extended the contract?

Does changing the plan extend the contract so that you cannot upgrade at a discounted price? For instance, with Cingular, when you change your plan to certain other plans, you're locked in for a year. That contract is different from your phone contract though. If you change your plan in month 18 of a 24 month contract, you're stuck for another 12 months. Three months later, you can upgrade your phone and it extends the contract for 2 years from the phone upgrade.

I just don't want to get in a situation where I change my plan a month before I can upgrade and I have to wait another 2 years before I can upgrade again.
