From what I was told, the 60% figure in #6 is now 75%. That means that it would actually be a rare person who was able to upgrade at 6 months.
Our contract states that upgrades are allowed when 60% has been paid for, so we are grandfathered in if Verizon changed the terms. Even with that 60% amount it would take 12 months before a person could upgrade since payments are made over 20 months. I was never told a person could upgrade at 6 months. I suppose they could if they paid the difference OOP, but that would be very costly. We plan on keeping our phones for at least 3 years or more, so the benefit for us will be that our bill will drop significantly after 20 months. We bought the phones in October and have already made 7 payments.
ETA: I just looked on the Verizon website and yes, the newest version of the plan says one can trade when 75% is paid for AND now the payments are over 24 months vs 20 months so now it will take 18 months of payments to have 75% paid off vs 12 months on the Edge contract I have.
