Best way to get an upgrade
 

I just noticed that the touch pro is not discontinued and I an not worried about getting an upgrade anytime soon. I was just wonder what would be the best way to get my provider to grant me an upgrade.

I am just gathering Ideas or events from peoples past that allowed them to return theirs.

Obvious way is to complete any eligibility requirements you have with your carrier under your current contract.

Free upgrades though? Those are just things that happen due to shortfalls in supply for the most part. Reading the other threads here, you've no doubt found that Sprint was geing proactive in trying to rid themselves of some TP handsets; opting to replace them with other models vs continuing to support them. Your provider probably doesn't share that strategy though.

Ok, the BEST way to get an upgrade is, fulfilling your your contract. If you are looking for a "Free Upgrade" get your phone replaced 3 times in 6 months and they should offer you a working device. Well, that's at least for sprint, don't know about Bell

Please dont try to run a scam. The best way to get an upgrade is to do the right thing, and buy the dang phone you want. If your out of contract, then use an upgrade credit and renew. Otherwise, pay the price of the phone.

Its sad to see someone come on the forums asking for advice on how to scam their carrier to get the latest and greatest phones. If your having real and legit issues, goto the store and talk to them. If your looking for a way to scam a free phone, i dont think this board supports those types of questions.

I see some on ebay between 300-400. Won't have to renew contract either.

Yes, I was being facetious. There's a thread here with 2000 posts on getting your TP replaced with a TP2. I've read people offering thanking all of a users post if that user will call sprint and get a tp2 out of them. They even give their account pin to strangers on an internet forum to do it.
