How to Upgrade Phones for Free

1. Check with your cell phone provider about its upgrade requirements. Most cell phone carriers allow for a free upgrade when either starting a new plan or after a two-year period.
2. Test out the free phones. Not all phones will be free of charge, but most carriers will have several models available at no cost. Try the phones, making sure the features they offer fit your needs.
3. Sign a new agreement. Whether extending your agreement with your current provider or signing a new agreement with a new carrier, you will need to sign a two-year contract to receive the phone at no cost.
