Question [Q] $125 Service Credit with Evo 3D

So the Service Credit for switching to Sprint says it ends on 6/23. AND the Evo 3D of course comes out on the 24th. I will be coming from TMO and wanted to get this credit.
Could/Should I just get switched on the 23rd or sooner and just get like an Evo or similar phone and also buy the $50 dollar reserve for the Evo 3d. Then on the 24th switch my phone to the Evo 3D and return the other phone?

Yea as long as you keep the number your porting active for 61 days...

I'm also doing this with two port in numbers from tmobile. So make sure if you start the contract or service at a sprint store you preorder it there....

Or go to radio shack start service and pre order there
Same with best buy....



DO NOT go to sprint to set up service and then pre order from a radio shack or best buy... Pick one of the three and do all of it their or you will lose the port in credit

No restocking fee for new customers that exchange a phone in 30 day time frame...

So you won't have to pay the restocking fee if you are a new customer. Are you sure about that? And I also have another question, if you do this will you lose yourpreoder spot because I saw someone post that you would lose your preorder sport?

Not sure about losing your preorder spot but for new customers, there are no restocking fees. Otherwise it's $35/phone.

You won't lose your spot at radio shack or best buy... I hear you will at a sprint store but I doubt it... Is just ask them

DONATE TO ME
so, Im just going to put this out there. In order to save $125 per phone, if it costs you $70 then awesome you still save. So tell your wife that would be a worst case scenario just like my att ends the 27th of June and well If I have to cancel early that costs $60 (Im still working on it being free) but I still save money.
My 3 cents because my 2 cents is worth more than yours
