How do I upgrade to a new phone between month 18 - 24?

After you have completed the 17th payment (tier 1 phones) or 19th payment (tier 2) with no other outstanding amounts, you may walk into a participating Digi Store or Digi Store Express and exchange your old phone (that is required to be in good working condition) for a new phone.

Note: Tier 3 phones are not eligible for an early upgrade and are required to fulfill a 24 months contract.

What if my old phone is not as per the Good Working Condition Criteria set in the Terms and Conditions?

Digi will not accept the phone as a Returned Device for exchange. You may instead choose to (A) complete your 24 monthly instalments and keep the phone at the end of your contract, or (B) pay the Penalty Fee and Processing Fee, keep the old phone and register for a new phone.

Once you have paid the Penalty fee, you may then sign up for a new device with Digi PhoneFreedom 365.
