Upgrading your Current T-Mobile Phone to a New G1

The G1 has finally launched on T-mobile and a lot of people are asking me " Can I upgrade to a G1 from my current T-mobile phone?" Honestly I don't know, but I don't see why not. I tried digging around some other blogs ( see: Cell Phone Family Plans: T-Mobile 2 phone upgrade G1) but mostly came up empty.

I would say the first thing you have to figure out is if you are a current T-mobile customer. That should be easy. Now are you eligible for an upgrade? that gets a little more complicated. Generally if you are a contract customer in good standing and are 22 months into your 2 year contract ( or 11 months into a 1 year deal), you are eligible. You will also need to be on an eligible plan of $39 or more.

If you are really not sure if you would qualify for a G1 upgrade, you should contact T-mobile directly. I'm sure they will be glad to help, especially if you are ready to drop some cash.
