    Loads of people do, but only if they're select priority customers. You need to have an average spend of over £50 per month to be considered.

    Myself on orange and my other half on T-Mobile have done this.

    See here: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/support/my-account/upgrades

    It works nice the 1st time as you get a new phone early, but the term is the same over the period for your next upgrade.
    e.g. you are at 16 months and decide to upgrade, the remainder 2 months are added onto your new 18 month contract, making it a 20 month contract. This ties you into a longer contract and from a phone provider is brilliant for them.
    You can then upgrade at 18 months, 2 months early.

    So if you do upgrade early you are tied in for 20 months, not 18 months.

    Hope it all makes sense. Long gone are the days of a new phone every 12 months on deals today.
