• Next Up device turn-in is not required for credits, however, if Next Up device is not turned-in, you will be billed for the remaining balance on that device.

• If you purchase online, you must Turn In your existing Next Up device by mailing it to AT&T with the prepaid shipping label included in your new phone delivery.  AT&T must receive your existing Next Up device within 30 days after the date that AT&T ships your new device or you will be billed for the remaining balance on your existing installment agreement. AT&T strongly recommends that you ship your existing Next Up device within 14 days to account for the risk of unforeseen delays.
• If your device is turned in but is not in good physical and fully functioning condition, customer will be billed for remaining balance on that device less a credit for the value of that device.
• If you choose the optional AT&T Installment Plan with Next Up Anytime, customer is responsible and will not receive any credits for an additional $10/mo. for the Next Up Anytime upgrade feature.
