Take Advantage of Spectrum Anytime Upgrade This Holiday Season 

4:00 Minute Read

The holidays bring excitement around the latest phones and devices, but traditional carrier upgrade programs can leave you feeling stuck. Many carriers have strict timelines, requirements or added steps that limit your flexibility, even when your current device no longer meets your needs or when a must-have new model launches.

Anytime Upgrade from Spectrum Mobile® offers a more flexible solution for Unlimited Plus customers. Instead of waiting for a predetermined upgrade window, you can refresh your device up to four times a year. This article explains how Anytime Upgrade works, including eligibility requirements, associated fees, upgrade limits and the straightforward process for getting a new phone this holiday season.

How Spectrum Anytime Upgrade Works 

Anytime Upgrade lets Unlimited Plus customers move to a new phone without waiting for the full length of a traditional upgrade timeline, hitting specific payment goalposts or paying a monthly fee.

To be eligible, you must be an Unlimited Plus customer, and you’ll want to keep these terms and conditions in mind, effective Dec. 17, 2025, to fully take advantage of this benefit:

  • There is a $35 upgrade fee for each Anytime Upgrade

  • You can take advantage of Anytime Upgrade up to four times within 12 months

  • Your device must be in good working condition

Why It’s a Smart Option During the Holiday Season 

The holiday season is an excellent time to upgrade. With seasonal promotions hitting their peak and new models just released, everyone has their eye on a new device. There’s no better gift than a device upgrade this holiday season!

Anytime Upgrade offers added flexibility when it comes to choosing your next device. Whether you’re taking advantage of a seasonal sale or making someone’s holiday with a gift, traditional upgrade plans put a damper on the fun. With a plan designed to let you upgrade more often, you can make the most of peak deal season and explore the latest technology with confidence.
