If your monthly bill goes up that much then it’s not a free upgrade, it’s just phrasing it in a way which says we won’t charge you x amount of dollars for the upgrade instead we charge you more every month for 2 years. If your bill would go from $68 to $100 then please don’t do this. That is $32 a month more over 24 months which means you will pay $768 for this iPhone 7 which you can buy outright for $769 here in Canada and that is with 128Gb, if what they are offering you is a 32Gb then you can buy that from Apple for $629. I am with Koodo which is an MVNO owned by Telus and I am on a Quebec plan which gives me unlimited phone calls in Canada and unlimited texting as well as 6Gb of data for $49 before tax. You would be much better of to switch to something like that, it would save you $19 a month, then put that plus the $32 you are considering to pay extra for the upgrade Telus is offering into a savings account, a total of $51 a months. In one year you will have put aside $612 and if you go a bit longer than that you can buy a brandnew iPhone next year outright and continue with your $49 a month plan. I know this takes some diciplin since you really do have to put that money aside and not touch it, but if you paid Telus $100 a month you would not have this money, either. If you want I can help you with getting on that Koodo plan, there are people you can find online who do it for you for a $50 or sometimes more payment, I wouldn’t want any money, but I have done it for myself, my wife, my mother and one of my employees and he in turn has now done it for his wife. The good thing is that even if your phone is locked to Telus which most likely it is, it will work with Koodo since Telus owns them. Of course since December 1 last year Telus also would have to unlock your iPhone at no charge if you want that.

Of korce if I got a eye phone 7 on a 2 year contract it would go back up to 100 and a bit since I would need to pay off the phone again. Like I said erlier this week Telus cald me and was offering me to upgrade to the eye phone 7 for 0 dollers down. From Mich.

Read my message to Tom regarding switching to a lower cost carrier like Koodo here in Canada. In your case with an iPhone 6 I would say going to an iPhone 7 wouldn’t be such a bad thing especially if your OK with what you are paying and if that monthly payment doesn’t change. Also, if you were on a 2-year contract which is now paid off you should be able to keep your iPhone 6 which means after you get your iPhone 7 you can probably sell it and still get $100 for it or maybe even a bit more if it has a larger storage capacity, e.g. if it’s at least a 64Gb then maybe you could ask $150..

I recently was contacted by my phone company to upgrade my phone. I am using a eye phone 6 and they said that I could get a eye phone 7 for 0 dollers.

I also advise my clients similarly. Unless the new models have something that you absolutely must have, I would stick with your iPhone 7 and wait till next year to see what Apple offers up. I am currently using an iPhone 7 running the iOS 12 beta and it’s working just fine.
