Hey all, I currently have a HTC Rezound and I want to buy an iPhone but I don't have an upgrade till next year. I wanna buy the iPhone 5 but I have a few questions:

1. If I buy it off contract is there a fee to move it over to the line with my current phone?

2. Do you think they'd give me an early upgrade because the phone I have has been plagued with problems(some people go through 5-8 replacements)

3. Would it be cheaper instead of buying the iPhone full price to start a new line with an iPhone, transfer it over to my line and then cancel? I have the share everything so it might be cheaper Idk.

I would go with the third option. I have done this in the past to get a new phone. Also, do you know someone that would let you use their upgrade? I was able to use my fathers upgrade. He has just a dumbphone and is happy with it. I used his upgrade and then moved the new phone to my number.
