You can always change your cell phone plan. As a matter of fact, cell phone companies actually prefer and want you to keep changing your cell phone plan. Every time you change your cell phone plan, one of the requirements of that plan is a renewal of your contract for another 2 years (2 years is the minimum contract length with all carriers now). This is an industry standard from all wireless companies.
What many customers don't realize is that when changing your cell phone plan, you are extending your contract length when you might not want to. Lets assume you get a new cell phone with a 2 year contract and 10 months later you want to change your plan. This means you have 14 months left on your existing contract, you change your cell phone plan and your contract is renewed for another 2 years leaving you with 24 more months (instead of 14) to finish the contract. If you are looking forward to your contract finishing so you can change cell phones or carriers, this is definitely a situation you do not want to be in.
What if I'm not sure what plan to sign up for?
If you are not sure about what plan you want to sign up for, this is what we recommend. You can sign up for the higher plan and test it out for some time (3-4 months) and if you feel the minutes are too much for you then change to the lower plan and continue. Your contract will only be extended for 3-4 months more rather than changing towards the middle or end of your contract which means a significant amount of time being added to your contract.
Hope this brief explanation has helped with the changing cell phone plan dilemma, feel free to post any questions, comments or suggestions.
