How do you trade in your mobile phone to get a new different phone?

I have a Nextel i870 which cost $300.00 but now I want another Nextel phone which also cost $300.00. My current Nextel is sctratched up a little and has moments when it doesn't act right but for the most part it's still a good phone. I want to trade in my current phone to get the new phone but I'm not sure on how you trade it in or if it's possible to do that. I heard from somewhere that you can trade your old fone in to get a new different phone and just pay the rest. Like if you had a phone that cost $250 and you now want a phone that cost $300, all you have to do is pay the $50 difference. Is that true?Does any one know if you can/can't and if you can, what do you have to do?


The only way to get a new phone would be to either purchase it outright or upgrade. Even then, there is no program where you "pay the difference." You just have to pay the cost of the new phone when you upgrade and sign a new contract. The usual contract time is 2 years. If you are unsure, it is probably 2! You would keep your old phone...which is a good thing, that way incase something happens to your old phone, you would have a back up so you wouldn't be stranded!

recently I did trade in mobile phone with http://www.fonebank.com/ visit this page http://www.fonebank.com/how_to_recycle_mobile_phones.aspx to see how fonebank works.. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20070712112302AAenPr5&kid=F4JGLmHFFDn8WrFV8coA&s=comm&date=2008-07-25+06%3A21%3A18&.crumb=

i think you have to be on a plan/contract to do this. ie: with telus if your on a three year contract you get to trade it within three years. no sooner. otherwise id say sell your phone and get a new one
