I am very interested in buying to DX after reading all the reviews, visiting forums, and watching youtube videos on it. However, I am on my parents plan (I am an authorized administrator on it though--with my dad) and I am not due for an update, but my dad is. I was told that it's really no issue to just have my dad use his upgrade and then give it to me.
After reading these forums, I want to get the phone off of newegg.com due to the free shipping and $180 price tag. I have a few questions about that
1. When newegg asks for the phone number on the account, do I put my dad's because HE is the one with the upgrade available?
2. Assuming question 1 is true, when I receive the phone in the mail and activate it--will it automatically default to my dad's number, or can I make it activate to my number immediately?
3. If it has to activate to my dad's account, all my dad would have to do is dial #228 on his "old" (current) phone and reactivate it...then all I would have to do is dial #228 on the DX and link it to my number? How do I choose it to go to my number, would I dial it in a certain prompt?
All in all, is this a pretty easy/fast process? Or is it a lot of trouble?
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
