Can you get a new cell phone if your contract isn't up??

Question

My phone is crappy and i hate it and the eight button barely works. Can i get a new phone without paying a big amount of money? I'm on AT&T.

Answer 1

you can be you will have to pay full time for the phone which can be expensive

Answer 2

sure.  go to the AT&T website, log into your account, and order a new phone  

Answer 3

Yea you can get a phone as often as you like but unless you get a used one or a refurbished one online, you will have to pay full price .  This doesn't affect your plan at all.  Although if you wait until you are eligable for an upgrade, you can check your status at the store on the website you can get a discount price on a new phone with another two year plan.  

Answer 4

Yes, you can buy one on ebay or craigslist for cheap than AT&T price.

Answer 5

you can get cell phones on ebay that are new and you can still, in most cases, even put them under your protection plan through at&t. Ebay is the best way to go until your contract is up.  

Answer 6

Mmm.. probably not without paying a big amount of money. Usually if your contract isn't up, you have to pay full amount for the phone without any rebates or anything. They also sometimes renew your contract (they don't usually charge for that) so you'll have to wait another 2 years before its up again and before you get another phone if the one you buy gets damaged. But again, that's only sometimes with certain companies.

I have sprint, and have bought many new phones before my contract was up, so trust me, it gets expensive!

Answer 7

i have at&t too. i wait till my contract is up because you get money off for renewing your contract. you can get a new phone if your contract isn't up but it will cost more.

Answer 8

I think you can but you just can't use it untill your plan is up.

Answer 9

if you have a warranty on it you might be able to, you can contact your wireless Co, and tell them what's wrong with it, most of the time they try working out with customer so they can keep you as their customer. it works 95% of the time. I work as a customer service representative and the customer is ALWAY right :)  

Answer 10

IF YOUR ON ATT, YOU CAN GET ANOTHER PHONE, BUT YOU MUST SIGN ANOTHER CONTRACT FOR 2 MORE YEARS.

HOPE I HELPED.

Answer 11

yes you can, you can go to AT&T, and buy a new phone and they can easily switch everything over to the new phone, or you can do it yourself online, and yes that means before your contract it up, because sometimes things happen to a phone that is unfix-able and you have to buy a new one and you can still use it on the same contract.  ..I'm not sure how much you'd have to pay (I need to know that to)

but I'm guessing it would be the price of the actually phone.
