Hi there ​@Diane Large 

 

Yes you can do just that.

 

What I would suggest is if you go via the iD app or online portal use the upgrade deals/change my plan options via either to avoid the chance of accidentally opening another account. From the home screen the upgrade deals will be there after 10 months on a 12 month contract and 22 months on a 24 month contract.

 

Or if you don’t want to tie yourself in to a 12/24 month contract opt for the change my plan instead as after your existing minimum term contract is up it will revert to a rolling month contract anyway. These ‘deals’ can work out slightly higher in cost but the benefit is you can upgrade every 30 days to a better deal as they become available - my wife and I did just that the other month, took out a very good data deal without no increase in price. On the subject of price increases 30 day contracts don’t have price rises every April either!

Hi ​@Diane Large 

 

Of course, you won’t need to upgrade to a new device, you can upgrade to a SIM only plan.

 

Upgrades to a new device are (from a 24 month device plan) typically available 60 days before your contracted term ends, SIM only available once the contracted term has ended.

Hi ​@Diane Large 

 

Nope, if you upgrade your current account, you’ll keep on the same SIM.

I’d say he means everything stays as it is - same phone and same SIM and same account (credentials), you’ll just move it to a SIM only (change my plan at month 12 or 24 would be my advice but you can opt for a 12 or 24 month fixed term SIM only plan)

Hi ​@Diane Large 

 

An “upgrade” isn’t necessarily to a new phone, you can upgrade to a new phone OR just a SIM only plan if you wish.

 

As long as what you’re processing and purchasing is an upgrade and not a new line, you’ll keep the same account, number, SIM etc.
