You resell your old phone on ebay, and extend your plan another 2 years, lol.

I don't think the majority of people upgrade every year.

They don't keep adding years to your contract each time you do an early upgrade. You just start over with a new 2 year contract, so you'll never be on a contract longer than 2 years. Though in reality they almost never let you do an upgrade on contract after only 12 months, you normally have to wait 20 to 22 months.

I was getting upgrade offers from AT&T at about 6 months into my contract. I do have an old mans flip phone though which could explain why they would want to get me into a more profitable phone class.

Edit: Weird extra characters.
