Sprint fires back at T-Mobile with perpetual iPhone upgrade program<article>
<section class="page">
<p>As
new iPhones loom, Sprint is joining T-Mobile in trying to rope in new subscribers with a perpetual upgrade offer.</p><p>Under the “iPhone Forever” program, new and upgrade-eligible Sprint customers can trade in their current phone and get a new iPhone 6 for $15 per month, plus the cost of wireless service. Sprint will then let those customers upgrade to the next iPhone by December 31 at no extra charge.</p><p>There are a couple of caveats here:</p><ul>
<li>The deal requires either an individual unlimited plan ($60 per month, plus the aforementioned $15 per month for the phone) or a Family Share Pack plan (starting at $100 per month with four lines and 10 GB of shared data for new subscribers, plus the $15 per month fee for each phone.)</li>
<li>The $15 per month phone price is a limited-time deal, and it jumps to $22 per month with any iPhone upgrade after December 31. In other words, you’ll still pay $15 per month after upgrading to the next iPhone (let’s call it the iPhone 6S), but once you get the iPhone after that (the iPhone 7, perhaps), the monthly phone fee rises to $22 per month.</li>
</ul>
<p>The deal is similar to one that
T-Mobile is currently offering to its subscribers: For $15 per month, anyone who trades in for an iPhone 6 by September 7 can upgrade to the next iPhone at no extra charge.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2971837/carriers/sprint-fires-back-at-t-mobile-with-perpetual-iphone-upgrade-program.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
