I think I'm already enrolled in your New Every Two program. How do I know what my discount will be if I want to upgrade my phone?
SOLUTION:
Our New Every Two program is available to you by maintaining a 2-year contract. If you would like to sign up for a 2-year contract today, your phone will be less expensive and you will remain enrolled in the New Every Two program. If you upgrade your phone without a 2-year contract, you will lose the future benefit and will automatically be de-enrolled.
If you enrolled in the program on or after 11/25/02, you must take advantage of the New Every Two offer within six months of becoming eligible; otherwise you may be charged full retail price to upgrade your current handset. The discount amount will be applied toward the 2-year Customer Agreement retail price. Secondary Family SharePlan lines are not eligible to participate in the program. The New Every Two discount cannot exceed the price of the phone after mail-in rebates.
If your 2-year Customer Agreement with a digital calling plan of $34.99 or higher began on or after 6/02/03, you were automatically enrolled in the program. Customers who began their 2-year agreements on or after 4/01/00 on a digital calling plan of $35.00 or higher were also automatically enrolled in the program.
If you enrolled in the program prior to 2/5/06 and continued to meet the requirements of the program, you will be eligible for a free phone up to $100.00, or a credit of up to $100.00 toward a more expensive phone, when you become eligible for your next New Every Two upgrade (after which time you will be enrolled in the $50/$100 New Every Two program described above).
