If its anything like here in the uk they will want you to pay off the remainder of the contract. Sometimes they do it at a discounted rate. It will be hundreds of dollars I'm sure. Best thing is to see how much you can sell the iPhone 5 for to get some money towards paying it off if thats what you really want.
 
Verizon 's numbers are probably different but the ETF on AT&T is $325, prorated by $10 for every month of contract completed.

I say wait another 6 months. You can renew your contract and use the free phone upgrade 6 months prior to the actual end of your contract, so if you're at a year or more already, another few months will save you about $200 if you want to terminate, or about $700 if you want to buy the S4 at MSRP and just switch the phone and not terminate the contract.
 
Smart thinking willerz

I wasnt aware of that 6 months rule
 
Standard for most carriers in the US... primary line can be upgraded 6 months early and all other lines 3 months early.

Of course, this only applies if your contract is in good standing.
 
Verizon charges a $350 etc fee that decrees $10 per month from the start of the contract. If u wanna jump to the s4 you can sell ur iPhone on ebay or craigslist to cover your etf, that's what I usually do
