Early termination fee?
I'm a 2 year contract, and I think my 2 year contract ends sometimes in Jan. 2018, I was wondering if I upgraded my phone now would I have to pay any early termatioin fee? When I go through the upgrade process it dose not tell me if I have to pay for a early termination fee.
and on my online account profile I can't find the end end date for my 2 year contract

No, you only pay an ETF if you cancel service. Upgrading to a different phone will not cause the ETF to be charged.

@bigelarkin 100% certain you're still on an old CONTRACT, not a NEXT Plan, correct?
What is the name of your plan?

You should be able to do a Next plan on it (I've never done that but it should work).
It might be time to freshen that plan up with a newer one (might be cheaper and have more features).
We can provide tips if/when interested.

We should warn you ATT has no incentive or reason to allow you to upgrade early. I have been reading a lot of fussing on facebook by people who are not allowed to upgrade early as they always did in the past. Verizon never allowed it, don’t know why ATT did.

What's your actual warning? Are you saying they can't do it?

@Gary L
Im saying Att spoiled you long time customers for decades with early upgrades and expect to hear more tantrums when ATT says “No” which they are doing to customers now.
Im seeing them now on Facebook regularly. Customers actually quit ATT over it.
Verizon has always been inflexible, so I had 17 years of counter conditioning and expect no such coddling by my carrier.

Are you saying you think this poster who appears to be on contract is going to have a problem or not? YES or NO...
I feel like you are saying no, but the tangent of talking about the history of AT&T upgrade and what Verizon is doing is muddying it for me. Asking specifically about the PRESENT with AT&T for OP...

I’m saying not to be dssapointed if told no, it is very likely it may happen. None of the stores local to me will do it. I don’t know if calling make a difference
And of course ATT has every right to hold customers to the contract they signed. Always did. But it’s new to some folks
