Mobile phone upgrades are simple to do – if you know where and how to do it. See more here: Make it happen
A “mobile phone upgrade” is where an existing customer of a network (eg T-Mobile, Vodafone, Orange, O2, 3G, Virgin and many others), who has been with that network for about 1 yr since getting their last mobile phone, gets a new mobile phone from the network at a free, or low-cost discount price, in return for agreeing to stick with that network for another year, under a 12 month contract agreement. The client keeps his or her existing mobile phone number, and stays with the same network. This is called a “mobile phone upgrade” – usually it is a free mobile phone upgrade!
To get the best offer for a free or low-cost mobile phone upgrade, you should understand this. The mobile phone networks pay a mobile phone dealer more for a new customer (new mobile phone contract) than they do for a mobile phone upgrade customer. This odd situation has been the same for many years. The only network that seems to pay mobile phone sellers nearly as much for an upgrade customer as for a new free mobile phone customer is Three (often known as three or 3G). The other mobile phone networks merely don’t seem to value their existing clients as much!

The craziness of this example is that it encourages you to be disloyal to your present network.
What does this mean to you? How are you going to get the best deal from knowing all this, so you will get a free mobile phone upgrade AND get other benefits? Read on …
The amount that a mobile phone dealer can give to you’ll rely upon how much cash he’s making. If he’s making extra money from a ‘new’ mobile phone contract customer than for an upgrade customer, then he’ll be able to give the ‘new’ mobile phone contract customer a bigger discount or a free mobile phone or possibly more!
Now, did you know that instead of upgrading your phone on the same network (where you most likely will not get such an excellent deal or a free mobile phone and many others), you’ll be able to switch to a NEW and totally different network AND keep your existing mobile phone number? This is true.
Now, knowing that you can keep your mobile phone number, and that you can normally get a better deal as a ‘new’ customer on another network, what are you going to do?
You can simply turn into a ‘new’ customer on a different network … this new network then treats you as a new customer, offers you all of the free mobile phone bonuses and gifts, and so on, AND you keep your mobile phone number!
So by merely looking around at all the offers available to you on all the other networks
Before you’re taking the jump and switch to a different network for your free mobile phone upgrade, think about this …
Imagine you call your present network to tell them that you are thinking of leaving them to switch to another mobile network. Usually, that person you speak to will be on a commission to keep your business: ie they will earn a bit of cash if they’ll convince you to stick with that mobile phone network.This means that you should use this to your advantage.
Tell them that you’ve had an excellent offer from another network (and do not lie – they will most probably know exactly what you could get with another network). Merely ask them if they’ll equal or better the deal offered by this other network.
If they’ll equal it, then it’s most likely not worth the trouble of switching mobile phone networks and the paperwork. It’s not too much trouble to do the switch, however, clearly it’s easier to stick with your present mobile phone network.
Free mobile phone upgrades can be obtained in this way quite easily by understanding how the system works and how the money works in cellphones and free mobile phone upgrades.
So the next time, just ask your present mobile phone network if they’ll better the free mobile phone offer from another network.
