Ick I don't believe you can do an early upgrade....

If the phone is servicable get it serviced. If you have asurion phone insurance then well you know what you have to do to the phone.

IF you have none of those options open then you will have to buy a VZW phone outright. The prices on a VZW phone outright run from $180-$400 depending on model and features.

You can try EBAY for used VZW phones but other than that you are out of luck. ☹️

if your kyocera was purchased less than a year ago, you can exchange the phone for another refurbished kyocera--- express exchange does not come with a battery. O you can deal directly with the manufacturer.

We have a trade in program for customers that dont want to sign a new contract or that may be out of warranty or dont have insurance and arent eligible for and upgrade. You get $50 off the retail price of the phone when you trade in your old phone. This is done at direct locations. If your local reps dont know about it they need to ask their DM!
