Can I without upgrade?

**glitchgod** · 08-06-2012, 10:42 PM

I am not eligible for a phone upgrade and was wondering if I could just by a Samsung galaxy 3 from like New Egg or ammazon. And just pop in cards and be all good ?

Is this possible?

Yes u can do that anytime u want. Only thing is an unsubsidized is $500+ without a contract. I usually buy phones off Craigslist/eBay I do this a few times a year. Just make sure to check that the ESN is clean before purchasing.

Depends on the device. You may have a full size sin card and the new device might need a micro sim card.

Yeah, it should either be free or very cheap since you're a current customer.

If you go into a corporate store, SIM replacement for switching to an LTE and/or MicroSIM devices should be free.
