I have an iPhone 5s and last year my parents renewed the contract without knowing about the edge program so
now I'm stuck on a two year contract. I moved to my own line in September and I've been wanting to upgrade but I'm not sure if I can because when moving to my own contract, I brought along the two year contract. Is there a way to get out of the two year contract or avoid paying full retail price for a phone.
There's no real way "out of a contract" - but there are ways to get a new (different) phone for less than retail. Sites like swappa have some deals, eBay, perhaps a friend that has a spare... how long until you are out of contract?
It's worth shopping around, as a "contract" deal and upgrade is not always your best option, and buying phones outright seems to be the trend, either full price up front or a payment plan. Even Google Fi lets you pay off the phone in monthly installments! But I digress... you are not going to avoid paying full price unless you go third party (eBay, swappa and the like). Even in a contract, your line access fee is more, so you pay the same or more over two years anyway.
