Sprint Users Can Use One Up To Get New Phones

iPhone

Sprint has launched a program called One Up, that lets users upgrade their smartphone every 12 months. Sprint customers who are not yet upgrade eligible, but have had their current phone for 12 months, can sign up for Sprint One Up, as well.

To participate, users purchase an eligible smartphone or tablet and agree to 24 monthly installment payments for the device. For a limited time, customers also enjoy no down payment for the device. After 12 consecutive payments, customers can give back their current device and upgrade to a new smartphone or tablet.

With Sprint One Up, participating smartphone customers get unlimited talk, text and data for $65 per month – a $15 per month savings, when compared to current plan rates.
