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?

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.

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. ;)

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.

 

MAN!!!!! CMON Sprint why you gotta do this to meh!!!!!

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.

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.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.

      At some point over the weekend, T-Mobile bumped the Omaha metro from 100+40 to 100+90 of n41! That's a pretty large increase from what we had just a few weeks ago when we were sitting at 80+40Mhz. Out of curiosity, tested a site on my way to work and pulled 1.4Gpbs. That's the fastest I've ever gotten on T-Mobile! For those that know Omaha, this was on Dodge street in Midtown so not exactly a quiet area!

      Did you mean a different site? eNB ID 112039 has been around for years. Streetview even has it with C-band back in 2022 - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7303042,-73.9610924,3a,24.1y,18.03h,109.66t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1s2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g!2e0!5s20220201T000000!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D2ossx06yU56AYOzREdcK-g%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.share%26w%3D900%26h%3D600%26yaw%3D18.027734930682684%26pitch%3D-19.664180274382204%26thumbfov%3D90!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu Meanwhile, Verizon's eNB 84484 in Fort Greene has been updated to include C-band and CBRS, but not mmWave. I've seen this a few times now on updated Verizon sites where it's just the CBRS antenna on its own, not in a shroud and without mmWave. Odd.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      By dkyeager · Posted

      Drove out into the country today.  Dish stuck to my phone like glue. At least -120 rsrp. Likely only good for phone calls (should have tested.) It then switched to T-Mobile. Getting back on Dish was another issue. I am used to dragging out coverage so I expected a few miles, but had to drive at least 10 miles towards a Dish site. Airplane mode, which worked for Sprint, did nothing. Rebooting did nothing. Finally got it to change over about 2 miles from the site by manually setting the carrier to Dish then it had great reception. Sprint used to have a 15 minute timeout but I did not have the patience today.  Previously I did a speed test on Dish out in the country at the edge of Dish coverage. My speeds were 2g variety. Dish has really overclocked some of these sites. Seen rssp readings in the 50s. Would have called them boomer sites with Sprint but much  more common with Dish.
