He said if I cancel and then try to sign right back up I lose my number. Anyway around this? I want to cancel current contract, pay ETF, and sign back up with EVO. How can I do that?
you can't do that within i think 90 days. it's a sprint policy so you can't scam your way to a cheaper phone like your trying to do... companies have to protect their funds they can't just have people using loop holes so they don't have to pay sprint what they should
I don't understand?
That's partially what the ETF is for. He'll have to pay his ETF to cancel anyway?
I don't see why Sprint wouldn't allow it. Try calling retentions and talk to them about it.
it can be done. i have done it twice. heres what you do
add a new line for $10-$20 bucks a month (depends on if your on family plan already or not) get the evo on the new line for $200 bucks. then once you have the evo on the new line move the evo over to your old line and your old phone to the new line(can be done via online, over the phone, or in a sprint store. BB and RS wont do it). then wait 30 days. once your 30 days is up cancel the new line and pay the $200 ETF. I did this last year for the Pre and also for the Touch Pro 2. no problems. just make sure you wait the 30 days first or else they wont let you do it.
No, You get the EVO on the line you open. Call and switch the EVO from the line you opened to your primary line. Once the 30 days are up call and cancel the line you just opened. Paying the ETF. EVO is already on your primary line.Open a new line on the 4th and cancel the other one for a ETF. You lose your number either way.

You have to wait for the rebate from Sprint to bring donw the price to $199 as they are the only ones selling it for $450. So out of pocket its actuallyHow much money are you actually saving?
$199 (for Evo) + $20 (for new line) + $199 (ETF) = $420
for a $450 phone?
this solution is NOT for new customers. if your a new customer just sign a contract and buy the damn phone for $200 bucks. this plan is for people that dont wanna pay best buy 600 bucks or radio shack 500 bucks and are still under contract.Where is there a $10 (or $20 family line for Sprint? I'm a "new subsciber" and am getting an EVO and I wanted my wife to get a simple plain phone and she would have to pay their regular lowest voice only plan rate ($35?). I was told they don't have a family add-on like VZ or AT&T and I haven't found one online. There is an "everything data family" plan but that's big bucks for 2 lines. Is it really worth it for all the aggravation? Just buy the friggin' phone for $450.
again this is not for people that are gonna walk into sprint and pay 450. its for people that have preorders at BB. BB is charging 600 bucks for out of contract.How much money are you actually saving?
$199 (for Evo) + $20 (for new line) + $199 (ETF) = $420
