i need sprint account advice. please..

---

Sup. I am new to xda but have a lot of time over at sdx.

I have a tricky issue:
I got my account on may 3rd. I want the evo but won't be released until
2 days after my "sprint worry free" end date. I am told by the store manager, account retention, customer care, account services and the manger at local bb the only way for
Me to get the evo at the 199 price is to cancel under worry free and restart the entire
Account when the evo is released.in my case I will likely cancel tommorrow and go over to bb tommorrow to preorder. As you can see I am really wanting the evo...

Long story|short.. if I cancel my account they all say I will not be denied service
A b|c my credit isn't re-run for 60 days from first app and b, the worry free has no penalties in my case..

It seems hard to believe. That seems to be a big loophole for sprint..

Is it true? I ask cause I had no deposit the first time and would like to save cash where I can...thx for any advice...

I don't think you cancel and sign back up like that

i don't see why not. although you wont be able to keep your same number.

Yeah . They say can't guarantee me my #. But I don't have any friends..j|k..

I have talked to like 5 managers. They act like no one else has ever asked about this.

yes its possible i ask sprint sustomer service and they said that u dont have to wait day or a day soo yeah im pretty sure yeah

I beleive that there is a "waiting" period when you do something like that. I have heard it is sixty days.

i work for sprint and alot of people have called and asked the same question..... so here is your answer that you are not gonna want to hear.
if you cancel you line and you only have 1 line on the account then you will have to wait 60 days before you can open a new account.
but if you do it the right way u can still get your evo on june 4th . you can go to sprint today and open up a second line but dont buy a phone there start the new line with another sprint phone that you already have (or buy a cheap one off craigslist) and then wait till tomorrow and cancel the original line. on june 4th go to radio shack or Best buy (since its only 199 there) and do an upgrade on the new line. you are able to upgrade since sprint did not provide you with a phone when you started your new line... i hope that wasnt confusing for you, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask...

If you were approved for more than one line when you signed up, you can add the evo on one of those other lines, and then cancel the original line (though if its over 30 days you'll have to pay the etf, but you could just sell the hero to cover that cost. That would be the easiest way.
