AT&T recently unveiled an exciting new add-on called Next Up Anytime, designed to provide customers with more flexibility and options for upgrading their phones more frequently. This new add-on will be available on all AT&T wireless plans starting July 16, allowing customers to include it in their AT&T Installment Plan for an extra $10 per month when purchasing a smartphone.

Here are some key benefits that AT&T promises customers who sign up for the Next Up Anytime add-on:
– Upgrade to the latest phone with smartphone deals once 33% or more of their phone is paid off.
– Upgrade as soon as one installment payment and the first Next Up Anytime payment is made.
– Upgrade at any time, up to three times per year.

This add-on is a revamped version of AT&T’s early upgrade program, catered towards individuals who enjoy switching phones frequently and value the freedom to do so whenever they choose. While customers seeking outright ownership of their phones may not find much benefit in this add-on, those eager to always have the newest and most advanced smartphones from AT&T will likely find it to be a perfect fit.

It remains unclear whether the Next Up Anytime add-on will replace the current Next Up add-on priced at $6 per month. The existing Next Up program allows customers to upgrade early after paying off 50% of the phone cost, compared to the 33% requirement with Next Up Anytime. Additionally, this new add-on permits customers to upgrade up to three times per year, making it an appealing option for technology enthusiasts seeking constant innovation.
