Yes, provided that you are currently off contract.

With the $20 increase?

So I tried doing this the other day online. I ended up backing out because it was sketchy. I went through all the steps. Then I got to the "pick a data plan" part. It listed my current plan on top with new options at the bottom. I didn't pick anything new and hit continue. Well, at the top it says what your monthly charges will be. It only included the voice plan and the monthly device payment. It read like I didn't have a data plan. So, I chatted with an agent who said it only shows changes made and supposedly your voice plan charges go down when using the payments for a new phone, so that's why the unlimited data charges did not show. I was not comfortable with that explanation and backed out. I am wondering if anyone has upgraded using the payment option and kept thier unlimited data. And did they see the same things I did as far as monthly charges.

you are better off just ordering the phone through the phone. Its the safest and surest way to do. Just tell them I want to keep my plan and get a new device on monthly payment. Thats it!

when i try doing this online it tells me that i will lose my data

what do you mean by ordering phone through the phone? do you mean calling or do i have to go into the store?

i want to make sure i have this right: i am currently out of contract and have an upgrade available and would like to keep unlimited data but get a new s7e for the $33/mo over 24 mo - is this possible? the additional $ on the bill is acceptable to me.

thanks!

Yes, but this is not an upgrade. Which is probably why you're having issues. This is buying a phone at full retail broken into 24 months. You can do it online, over the phone, or in store, assuming you're out of contract and have the $20 increase.
