iPhone upgrade

I have 4 questions,

•1. In order to upgrade my iPhone with the iPhone plan, do I have to pay my phone off in full in order to get my new one or how does that work?

•2. Once the phone is paid off do I get to keep it or does AT&T keep my old phone?

•3. Can I unlock the old phone to give to a family member as a gift?

•4. Will the phone have to be another iPhone or can I transfer to Samsung Note 8?

 

please and thank you for any help

1) Yes. You can only have one installment plan on a line. To buy a new phone on an installment plan, you must complete the existing installment plan. Of course you can always buy a new phone and pay in full up front.

2) You own the phone. Once it is paid off, it is yours to do with what you want.

3) Yes. It is eligible to be unlocked once paid off.

4) You can get any phone you want.
