I just upgraded but it’s asking me to send old phone back

[Izzi1991]

I would rather keep it as it’s an iPhone and I’m moving over to google phone. So I won’t be able to save the pictures from the like 10 years I’ve used iPhones. It was an free early upgrade I have like 2 month left on the contract. Is there anyway I can keep the phone? If so how much does it cost?

Install the Google Photos app on your iPhone and Pixel (If it isn't already on there), Backup the photos and download on your Pixel.

Cheers. Will definitely do that. But I would still rather keep the phone as I promised it to my mother. I’m getting no responses from help on the app or Twitter. I don’t mind paying a little money to keep it. My mums phone is ancient and she’s in desperate need of a newer phone.

Hi @Izzi1991 

If this was part of a trade-in deal, the cost would depend on the device and deal that was taken up during upgrade. 
You may lose any discounts or credits that were given as part of the trade-in. 

The best option would be to contact Customer Care directly where a guide will be able to check the exact cost for you Contact Us | Help & Support | EE
