T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon have all announced plans that will let customers upgrade phones more quickly. Typically US mobile customers had to wait 18 to 24 months to qualify for a new handset. Some of the new plans let you upgrade as often as every 6 months.

Of course, none of this comes free of charge. If you’re trying to figure out which plan will cost you the least, CNET has run the numbers and put everything you need to know in one place.
