Carrier Why am I eligible to upgrade while I just got iPhone 5s last year?

I have the same situation. I called AT&T last night to ask about it and they confirmed it.

How dare you call them to confirm Aren't you afraid of them discovering the error and fix it?

Did they give you a reason why this happens?

I think I'm in the same boat.

Got my 5S last Oct and now it says this Oct24 it'll only cost $399 (Plus version 64gb). I'm kinda amazed. Is this right? I'm only 1 yr in.

Thank you for this info. I've been sticking on the old national plan with individual data. Each additional line has been $10 and it has never changed.

I have the exact same problem. I went to ATT and I wasn't told my plan would change. I'll go Friday again to make sure.

They told me their system showed my contract starting in 2012.

This happened to me. I re-upped for two years last year with the 5s. But I am eligible this year. The reason is because AT&T is *hot* to get everyone off their grandfathered Family Plans with unlimited data onto monthly-data plans under their new "Mobile Share" packages. With some folks (like me), if your data usage is in-line, the new plans can save a lot of money. You lose unlimited, but if you log in and look at your past usage, you probably use less than you think. So, they are offering upgrades this year, one-year in. Works for me.
