Got a advertisement from sprint offering 200 bucks off any phone and 100 credit for porting a number over. My question is can I port the wife over then swap my number to the phone she gets with the new line? And and put her number on the phone I have now?

we swap phones around all the time, can see why you couldn't
Do you wait a specific amount of time before you trade devices?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Nope it's just an esn/imei swap. You may need a 3rd phone to temp swap, can only be done one at a time.

You have to wait twenty four hours before theyll do it. Online, phone and in store. Otherwise theyll charge full price for phone

That might be policy, but we've gotten away with insta-swaps before. It's how my father juggles phone upgrades like nobody's business. Then again, we're a long time Sprint customer, so we may have gotten some extra leniency on this front (and/or a nice rep!).
You can do this. I did it in store. I added a line on my account and transferred a number to that new line with the HTC One. As soon as we did that I asked to swap phones and it was done in about 30 minutes for all of the process.

I may have some wiggle room on the policy then been with sprint since 02

I didn't have to. Upgraded my line and got an Evo LTE for girlfriend, activated right there at Best Buy on her line while I bought it.

I work at a Sprint corporate store. Yes you can do this. You don't need a third phone. The rep should know what they are doing. You can also do it right there in the store. You don't have to wait any amount of time.
If the phone you are buying comes with a mail-in rebate then you will lose the mail-in rebate because of the esn swap. Just a heads up.

I work for radioshack... I do cross upgrades all the time.. I upgrade the eligible line, sell it, then call up to have them switched. No 24 hours needed

I do it all the time with our three lines it can be done over the phone and there is no charge just remember that the upgrade will be lost on the line you swap for 2 years.

The process is called gifted upgrade.

Sprint employee here. You can do the upgrade and swap the phones instantly. We do it every single day. We care more about our sales numbers than if sprint frowns on this process.

I was in HHGregg today looking around and happened to notice that they were selling the Revolution for 49.99 with a 2 year contract. What happened to this thing being EOL like it should be? I will try to get a pic of it in the next couple days.
They're still selling Revolutions "like new" and refurbished on Verizon's site. If they have them, they're going to sell them... Gotta make money on these things somehow, especially with everybody trading them in for warranty replacements.

Oh don't worry about that one bit.... I won't be making that mistake again. I just thought it was interesting that they were selling them.
Costco still has them listed on their website. 20 bucks with contract,
http://membershipwireless.com/index.cfm/go/shop/do/PhoneDetails/productId/4272
AT&T valued it for $48. That's good enough because I've been wanting an iPhone 4s for some time now and it's only $100 for a new one and $50 for refurbished (2yr agreement and all that.) , and I was willing to go to the ATT store and do a swap. BUT, I don't think I can because my dad just told me it's under contract. Is it still possible to switch the phones and pay the difference in the balance or would I have to terminate and get the 4s under a new 2yr contract?

I got mine on a humbug search on craigslist. Person had plenty for $400. At first I'm thinking BS. This will be a scam trying to send me link once I respond. Nope. She let me buy a brand new HTC ONE for $370. Was definitely not expecting that. I was just looking at one on Amazon for $630 with my employee discount. But didn't bite. What was your best off contract deal for the ONE?

Sounds a little too good to be true. Probably, she's going to open a line, get it for $200, then cut it off, which might leave you with a bad ESN. Be careful.

Which phones, you mean something like a Motorola StarTAC?
Nowadays phones have incredible razor thin profit margins. It cost HTC around that much money to even make the ONE.
As far as the text message goes, who knows if he what he was selling and you was attempting to buy. It could have been a phone but which phone?
You might have gotten a good deal but I'm pretty sure that phone isn't on the up and up.

Sure its on your account now. But if or when a retailer finds out the phone was back doored they could call Sprint and the phone will obviously be traced back to you. So you're not out the clear yet.

Ya I think if I had a problem and was gunna have to pay I would do the same. It ain't like the old days when u could just walk in complain about ur phone and walk out with a new one being shipped to u. I had many phones replaced in the past without paying anything. I went in today to let them know about my phone getting hot sometimes after a long charge and they said since it didn't happen in front of them they can't replace it. There used to be $50 or $100 deductible depending on what the cause for replacement was I guess now its just a straight 150?
I think that's the reason I drop the insurance back in the past I added it with this phone but I don't know if I'll keep it if that's the way it's going to be

Well sprint can't repair the one so lost, stolen, damaged is 150 deductible. If software related(and they can't prove you did it) and still under warranty no charge

You only have to trade it in if you havent made all the installment payments.
Once you made all 20 payments its yours to keep
You could do 1 lump sum payment and pay it off. Then its yours to keep!
Thanks a lot. I was hoping it wouldn't be that. So I have to keep his for the whole year or pay a lump sum. That sucks lol
