Cool. I actually got a letter last week saying I was eligible (pretty much 2 years on the dot from when I started my 3 year) and trying to sell me on a Galaxy S3. Tempting, but I will wait until the next Nexus phone at least.

Hmmm.. it doesn't say much.. all it tells me is that I'm eligible and go into store for details.

If you're eligible, what more do you need to know?

People who have "early eligibility" would be helped if they knew how much it would cost. I have to calculate how many months remaining times what I believe is $15 for each month. It's just annoying when the system could do it.

Not that it matters to me because all I care about is the freedom fee but to others it would be useful.

Yeah. I thought you could upgrade the day after signing a contract, as long as you paid the apprpriate upgrade fee based on the number of months remaining.

I've got the same message of:

Good news – you’re now eligible to upgrade your mobile device. Visit a Bell store for details and to see our selection of devices.

My understanding is I need to be 6 months or less remaining to get the contract price without penalty.

HUG?

I assume this means something like "handset upgrade"?

Yes, hardware / handset upgrade.

Yours sounds like you're fully eligible. Mine says the below.

"You’re eligible for an early upgrade. See details Please visit a Bell store or contact us for information."

Exactly. Eligible is eligible. Early eligible is early eligible.

Well that clears it up.

So basically everyone is "eligible" but not everyone is "early eligible".

No early eligible means pay Bell $15 per month to the end of your contract even though to your eligibility date would make more sense, that's what my Bell profile says anyway. So I assume eligible would mean that you can go to a store and get a phone at new contract price.
