AT&T is introducing a new program called “Next Up Anytime,” which allows customers to upgrade their phone up to three times a year. This program will be available starting July 16 and costs an additional $10 per month on top of your regular phone plan.
What’s Happening & Why This Matters
This new program is an enhancement of AT&T’s existing “Next Up” add-on which has been available for several years; the additional cost is $6/mo. The original program allows users to upgrade after paying off at least half of their phone. With the new “Next Up Anytime” option, you can upgrade your phone more frequently.
There are two ways for AT&T customers to take advantage of the “Next Up Anytime” program:
- Once you have paid off 33% or more of your phone, you can trade it in for a new device. This also makes you eligible for AT&T’s trade-in and other upgrade offers.
- You can upgrade anytime after you make one installment payment and the first Next Up Anytime payment.
This means you can upgrade your phone up to three times per year. However, you’ll need to find your own solution if you desire to upgrade more frequently. That may seem excessive, but it could be a great option for early adopters and enthusiasts that wish to switch up their devices often.
TF Summary: What’s Next
AT&T’s new “Next Up Anytime” program offers more flexibility for phone upgrades, allowing eligible customers to switch to a new device multiple times a year. This could be beneficial for those who want to stay on top of the latest mobile technology offerings. If you’re considering upgrading your phone more frequently, keep an eye on the AT&T website and stores for further information about “Next Up Anytime.”
