is this true about upgrade?
I was reading through the upgrade process that - after 5 days - once I receive the upgraded device - my old phone will be disconnected and service will be activated to the new sim card and new phone? is that true?

You have to be careful about SIM sizes though, the new phones come with a smaller SIM. Sometimes you can put a small SIM in an old phone with an adaptor, or a large SIM in a newer phone by cutting it, but you might just need a new SIM if the sizes don't match.

Once you activate the new phone, the old phone is discounnected, there is no delay in that

what about keeping the old phone and plan and gifting the new phone to a relative instead?

Yes, you can do that but you must activate the new phone and SIM card. Once activated, just put the new sim in your old phone and then you can do what you want with the new phone. Remember, you will be obligated for the 2 year contract and you won't be eligible to upgrade again for 18-20 months.

so I have to activate the phone and the new sim? I think different phones take different type of sims
I can't just keep the old sim and my old phone?
