Is her contract up in January or is she eligible for upgrade in January? Because you are eligible for an upgrade 3 months before your contract expires. If it's actually up then, you should be eligible now.

As far as delaying activation? Yes and no: if you order it and don't call in to activate it, then yes, her old phone would not be shut off until you call.

Get a hold of her phone and dial *NEW#, followed by "call". It will send her phone a free SMS telling you if she's ready.
