If I purchase S4 from Google Play will I lose my AT&T upgrade?

[rob damiani]

Sorry for such a noob question. I'm currently using an iphone 5 on AT&T. I'm ready to move over to Android. Torn between waiting for the S5 or just purchasing the S4 now and then sell it when the S5 drops and utilize my AT&T upgrade. I'm not sure if I'll lose my AT&T upgrade if I purchase the S4 now from Google Play. Thanks......any other tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.

You should not lose your upgrade because you are not upgrading through AT&T, you are paying full price somewhere else.

Additionally, the pro-clip mount for my Samsung Saga 770 also works quite well with the Droid.

The comment above mine is correct. You will only lose your Att upgrade if you sign a new two year contract for taking a subsidy on an Att device either through Att or through an Att retailer like best buy or radio shack.

May I recommend Swappa.com. It is a great place to buy gently used phones at a much better price than through Google. Last time I looked, there were several s4 Google play editions on there for around 400-450 which would save you a minimum of 200 over ordering it from Google.

All you would have to do is put your Sim card in it and you would be good to go.

So I remove the SIM card from my iphone 5 and install it in the S4? That's all? Do I need to notify AT&T? Thanks all! Go Cowboys!

The S4 uses a different size/type SIM card then the iphone 5 uses. I hope AT&T will just give me a SIM card for the S4. http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-samsung-galaxy-s4/275980-sim-card-iphone-5-s4.html

You can get an adapter too.

Yes, if you have an account with AT&T, they will give you a free SIM card for your new phone. Just go into any AT&T store. Usually they'll even install it for you and then send you an SMS to test it out.

OK, sounds easy enough, thank you.
