Open up a family line, add the evo and keep both for around 30 days. Cancel the original line and say you got a divorce or something and go back to the single line. Sell original phone on ebay.

 

yep yep

 

@OP If you have premiere status why not just wait till your upgrade. You would be spending more than you have to opening up another line.

 

Here what i did for the pre and will be doing again for the EVO
When the phone comes out open a new line. and pay 199.99 for the EVO and get a new phone number well call it (111) 222-2222. Then swap the EVO to your exsistening line well call it (111) 111-1111. and your old phone new line (111) 222-2222. Then about 15-30 days later call sprint and cancel the line you just opened that has your old phone on it. Sprint will charge 200 bucks. so its a total of 400 bucks and you have yoru new evo on your old number.

 

cause hes probably like me wants it on launch day! or asap.

i want it so bad i have been thinking about paying 699 to buy one from the google I/O convention that are on sale

 

I am opening a 3rd line on my family plan.. but will keep the line for child emergency purposes lol just be switching the Evo to my line and putting my crap phone on the kid line..

 

not really. and you shouldnt really care what RS considers it, only thing that matters is what sprint says. and sprint didnt care when i did it with them on the palm pre. and I did all the switching and everything in the sprint store.

 

we can see if you require a deposit as soon as we open your account. all we have to do is click add line. if they didnt at all get into your account then yes that is made up and they have no idea.

 

lol your not gonna rat us all out are ya


sorry I had to LOL

 

lmao. i may work for _____, but i want the EVO as much you all and we dont even get discounts on the device. tey dont even offer a employee price plan yet for the EVO because of the damn $10 4G charge.

 

omg that SUCKS... you need a new job?

 

Activation fee for new line? This could add $35.
Paying for service for 2-4 weeks? This could add $30-$60.

In the end your bill for that new line is the $200 early termination plus those charges. I doubt you kept service for 15-30 days and managed to do it for less than $50. You're better off just paying the $450.

 

activation = zero

paying for service for = add a line for $10 bucks


i did it with the pre and paid 10 bucks extra plus 99 for the pre plus 200 ETF and was gonna do it for the evo, but i just bought a new one on ebay that should be here next week!!!!!!!


plus BB and RS wont let you preorder if you wanna pay the 450. only new lines, new customers, and upgrades are eligible to preorder.

 

I thought about this with a Touch Pro 2 before and was told that if I cancelled within 30 days, I had to return the phone or pay full price. If I cancelled on day 31, the phone would be mine and I would just have to pay the ETF.

You could buy the EVO on the 2nd line and move the EVO to your primary line. On day 31, cancel the 2nd line and pay the ETF.

 

exactly

 

LMAO. That's probably why he works at Rat Shack for just about minimum wage. Ask him where he got his law degree.
