Can I use iPhone upgrade program in NZ?

[Aslanthelion36]

So i want to use the apple upgrade program which makes me pay $35 every month and i get a new iphone each year. If I buy it in the USA (I live in New Zealand) and I get it through t-mobile and then I onlock it and use Vodafone or Spark or some other NZ carrier, do I still have to pay what the t-mobile plan would have cost? and would it cancel my apple upgrade program?

Thanks

Why would you want to do this? You technically do not own the phone ever ... they worked out it is cheaper to get a contract and sell your phone at the end. As you have to send the phone back at the end, and then Apple will sell it as refurbished ... so really you are going to make them ever more richer xD!!!

Regardless that is a lot of hassle you are going through, and it depends with the t-mobile thing. If you get it with a contract sim then yes of course! If it is just t-mobile locked, then you need to get it unlocked ... don't see how it would affect your apple upgrade program contract. But i cannot be 100% on that.

If you want to play both T-Mobile and Vodafone for the service, then yes you can use Vodafone and still do the upgrade from T-Mobile, although you are paying for two different cell services and 35 on top of that each month so it's very silly to actually do.

Why would you pay about $400 a year just so you can get a new phone? Waste of money IMHO. Most carriers offer a free or low cost upgrade every few years anyway if you re-new with them. A smartphone should run anything that comes out for a few years, especially if it's a mid to high range model, no need to upgrade every year or even every two years just to get a new shiny toy. That's how companies separate your money from you to get large bonuses for their CEOs and management.

ah ok thank you. I have decided not to use the iphone upgrade program and have bought an iphone 6s 128GB and that should last me at least 3 years.

thank you for your answer
