Contracts are not compound meaning agreeing to a 2yrs then a 1yr doesn't make 3, its only the great of the two contact lengths, in this case 2 yrs.
Upgrading a phone can be 1 or 2 yrs but you have to ask for the 1 yr and the discount isn't as great. The CSR will probably tell you a 1yr isn't available but it is if you push the issue. Changing your rate plan only requires a contract renewal if the rate plan is a promo plan. Promo plans are those that are special discounted plans, those that include N/W or MyFavs. The non-promo plans aren't published: you must ask for them. If you're going to change plans and it requires a contract renewal you might as well take the upgrade or plan on taking the upgrade during your contact term. Whenever you upgrade the contract will reset on that date. Meaning if you change rate plans today which extends your contract to Nov 26, 2009 and then on Dec 26, 2008 you upgrade which is 1 yr then your contract ends on dec 26, 2009.

Anyhow I was told if I change the minutes all 3 phones will have a one year contract extention. I was also told something like I should upgrade my phones before I do this. I am totally confused now in spite of asking the guy a couple times to explain why. If I upgrade the phones I thought that required a 2 year extention which I don't want to commit to plus then if I reduce the plan would that add yet another year of contract? Could some kind soul explain this to me? Also does anyone know if I changed it would I lose my $9.99 unlimited text price?
