Can anyone tell me what happens if your sponsor leaves sprint? I have been waiting for the Evo and now that its almost available I have found out my friend is leaving sprint in the next few months. Once he leaves do I have to sign a 2yr contract? If I don't sign a contract is there an ETF?
My experience:
1. Can a regular acct change into a SWAC acct? YES.
I had a regular Sprint account and it was changed to a SWAC account. It IS ok for existing Sprint accts to be SWAC. My understanding was that existing accts could NOT be SERO, but SWAC is ok to transfer.
2. What happens after your sponsor leaves Sprint?
Exactly as the previous poster said - they send you an email with those choices and you call to convert your acct to your choice. Otherwise they will cancel it on the final separation date of the employee, at the end of any severance. My employee had over 20 years experience, so her severance was 40 weeks after she got laid off. A month before that was up, I found another employee to take me on SWAC so I transferred to that.
Newest update on evo release for employed/swac. Was announced today that will release it in November. They said they will give us an update within 2 more weeks on an exact date in Nov. This is official and announced today.

Ugh! This is disheartening news. As I said previously, my phone is steadily falling apart and I was really hoping that this was to be the week that we'd all receive some good news. I'm not sure what else to do except keep my current phone close to a charger: it loses its power faster than a penguin loses altitude.
At least my phone works. My wife's Blackberry Pearl completed crapped out on Friday. For the past two weeks, the 3G radio had been automatically shutting itself off. She wasn't able to receive calls most of the time and, if a call came through before the radio turned off, she'd almost always be disconnected before completing the call.
Neither my wife nor I want to purchase a phone before the EVO is made available to us. This never-ending wait is driving both of us nuts!
Thanks for the update, Sprint helper, even if most of us will perceive the news as being bad.
A heads up, i would stay away from the sprint ID phones. Just a warning. And stay away from the intercept. Just take my word for it, or laugh when it hits you; I told you so.
what is .. "sprint ID phones"
The last communication that Sprint employees received said the end of October. My sponsor emailed it to me. if there is another one that came out yesterday or today, my sponsor still has not seen it. so at this point, unless someone is going to post the communication, everything is simply speculation.
To quote Fat sam from Fletch "When it comes it comes"
At this point, I do you guys think its worth it to get a Hero, or to get a Transform and just root it to get the crap sprint id out of it?
