Well i have had my upgrade avaipable since 5/1/2014 but just now used my upgrade. Strange thing is my next upgrade shows 5/1/2016 instead of 9/10/2016 since i started a new 2 year contract with this phone.

 

 

Is this normal or a glitch?

It seems to be "normal", at least from my end. My contract expires next month, but I've been eligible for an upgrade since June. I know this cause Sprint constantly likes to remind me of this. ;)

Sprint contract is for 24 months, but upgrade eligibility is 20 months if you renew.

No your signing an agreement in September so it's not a glitch.

20 months is about to disappear and go to 24 months.

My family and I have Nexus 5's on AT&T. We have no contracts. So every time I deal with AT&T I get harassed about being upgrade eligible. When I sign into my account, when I pay the bill, when I call, when I check how much of my data bucket I have left. It's obnoxious.

 

Dear AT&T. I don't have a contract with you. And I never will. Leave me alone! I don't want your upgrade trap!!!! YEeeAaRRRggGGHhh!!!

I can confirm this but dont have a pic. It was announced/went into effect 9/12 for 2 year contracts signed after 9/12. If you signed before 9/12 you still have a 20 month upgrade until you sign another contract.

Option to pay the $5 month for early upgrade on 2 year? (yearly upgrade, like what I have with Framily and unlimited)?

I doubt they would do this but I hope they'll let me pay the $5 a month to be able to upgrade early on sero.

As long as you do financing or lease you can do the $5. Financing or iphone for life can be done on any plan. The $5 does not get you yearly subsidised pricing.

I hope this is not true, it would be an idiotic move.

 

The entire reason upgrades are 20 months for a 2 year contract is to hook you in again before the competition has a chance to steal you away.

 

If the upgrade and contract end date are the same, you're free to get your new phone on any other network.

 

Upgrading 4 months early is a huge incentive to stay where you are.

Completely agree!!!  Would be a dumb move on Sprint's part if they got rid of the 20 month upgrades.

I just upgraded on the 13th and my next upgrade is showing eligible on 5/1/16 so it looks like the 24 month upgrade didn't take effect on the 12th.

Did they decide not to switch to the 24-month cycle? I used my upgrade on a Note 4 yesterday and now my upgrade date is showing 6/1/16 in my account. I think sticking with the 20-month cycle makes sense for Sprint since it's one of the few perks they still offer that AT&T and Verizon don't.

Go here:  http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/shop_landing.jsp?state=phoneoptions&ECID=vanity:upgrade

 

Then click on "Check eligibility" under the "Upgrade Program" section.  There it confirms what xjr2amt said.  The upgrade time is 24 months now.

so you get your next upgrade in a year. lucky duck.

 

food for thought. if you get a phone with subsidy why not just make your upgrade however long it takes to pay off the phone.

 

So if you get a cheaper phone you could upgrade sooner? that would be cool.

As long as I pay off my phone off before 24 months, I can upgrade.

 

Oh wait! I know why I have a 1 yr upgrade, I put my phone on unlimited data. That explains that. Now I just have to pay off my iPhone before next October so I can get my next iPhone, but this time, I'll wait for a month after launch to order.

      It took a couple of months but this site is finally back online.  I was certain that a decommission permit would come through one day since it was offline for over 3 months but I passed by it today and it was working again. — — — — — This site is also finally live. This was probably the longest I had ever seen a site take to go live once all hardware was installed, about 3 months. Hopefully the site in Long Island City doesn't take as long.

      So while we wait for @RAvirani to fix the website, I was able to connect one of my phones to Verizon n77 on a site with an NCI that appears to be adjacent to an NCI that was already in my database. Specifically, the site I call Taylor Run has been observed with these NCIs on n77: 44EEE469A 44EEE46AA 44EEE46AB 44EEE46BA 44EEE46BB I separately connected to the site I call Fairlington on its beta sector on n77: 44EEE46DA 44EEE46DB I'm assuming alpha sector is 44EE46CA/B.  With this data, I learned two things: 1) They're clearly not tracking the LTE GCIs with the NR NCIs.  Taylor Run is 1B61Fxx, while Fairlington is 1B680xx, not sequential. 2) It's clear that they're not using three byte sectors.  They're not even using two byte sectors like LTE does.  It looks to be done in an oddball fashion like how Dish is doing things.  Best I can come up with is a site ID that's something like: (NCI-0x20)/(0x30) It's possible it's actually (NCI+0x10)/(0x30) but I'm not really sure.  I also haven't connected to anything outside my immediate area here to know if this is consistent with other regions.  Not entirely sure how to persuade a device to do so, my Dish phone just connects to n77 at random in lieu of going to no signal.  (No data passes.) My take is to "break" the site notes for Verizon NR the way it was done with Dish NR, so at least the notes don't get copied to inconsistent sites, as has happened when I connected to Fairlington (came up as "Taylor Run").  It seems that Verizon, AT&T, and Dish all need work on the NR side to make sure site notes work properly.  Frustrating that they didn't standardize that for NR the way they did for LTE.  T-Mobile and US Cellular (while it lasts) seem to have done it the way I would have done it.  The others, not so much. - Trip

      I tried to access that forum but it says I need a password. Is it limit to certain contributors?    I was going to report that the website is broken. For days it's been saying unable to retrieve signal data then going to a 404 error.

      It is probably better to post topics related to the map in the dedicated thread to help keep things organized and secure. This thread is big enough as it is, just want to try help keep things on track!
