Say if I got 5 different phones: phone A (TP), phone B (Vogue), phone C (Apache), phone D (Mogul), and phone E (Diamond) and my contract end date is 10/10/2010.

Say I had the phone A onto my account for a very long time, and I wanted to try the other 4 phones that my friend gave to me for free.

7/23/09 at 8 AM: I ESN swapped to the phone B, contract end date is still 10/10/2010.
7/23/09 at 9 AM: Didn't like phone B too much, so I ESN swap it for phone C, contract end date is 10/10/2010.
7/23/09 at 1 PM: Kind of like phone C, but I want to try phone D, so I swap it out to that, contract end date is 10/10/2010.
7/29/09 at 5 PM: Wanted to try phone E, so here it goes onto my account/plan, contract end date is 10/10/2010
10/08/2010 at 1 PM: Activated the CDMA version of the iPhone that I brought off from eBay onto my plan, contract end date is yet to be 10/10/2010.

In short, your contract date can not be change just because you activated another, different handset. Your contract end date DOES change if you request it to be extended or used your upgrade.

thank you, this is exactly what i was saying, and everyone says i'm wrong, but i know for a fact i'm right, plus i do it all the time. but they aren't talking about contracts they are talking about when you can upgrade. they think when you swapped the phones you changed your upgrade date, not your contract date, but not even the upgrade date is suppose to change unless you take advantage of the promo price. Correct before it use to change, but a year ago they fixed that rule. the only time you lose your upgrade is when you take that promo price and sign the contract.
