I have an iPhone 8 currently with AT&T and am making monthly payments on the phone using next.I have around $200 left on my phone's installment plan that I want to pay off, so I can upgrade in a few weeks but also keep my iPhone 8 as a backup. Am I able to go online and pay off the remaining balance of the phone, and not have to upgrade then and there....and then say 2 weeks later go into an AT&T store and get the new phone and use that upgrade slot?

Just want to make sure I don't have to pick out a new phone right when I go to pay off the phone.

Thanks!

You can pay off your balance any time and not upgrade right away.

Yes you can.
 
Yes I have even made the payoff via ATT app on phone.
