Im not due for an upgrade on my line until May. I want the Epic 4G Touch now though, im tired of my EVO 4G. My mom has a full upgrade on her line that she will let me use to get a phone. Will we be able to purchase a Epic with the discounts and contract extension on her line, and simply change the numbers? Thanks.
Give them a call and see, seems like something that would be possible.
I've done that before, you used to have to wait x amount of days before you could or they would charge you for the full price, but last time I did it for the evo it worked like a charm. Buy it then change it online

I've done that many times, with all 4 of my lines in my family plan. If you're not sharing a plan it won't work. Doing that is how I got my evo. If they ask why just tell them the Epic Touch is too big for her.

I did it in store at a best buy.
Sprint store told me I would lose the mail in rebate if I didn't keep the phone on the original line for 30 days or something, but best buy has no rebate, and didnt care, just did it.

I'll bite. What happens tonight?
That should be no problem. Just call telesales and ask to have upgrade shipped cold. Then when you receive the phone call care to swap it with whatever phone # you like. I place orders like that for my customers every day. As long as you don't turn over your entire account in a rolling 2 year period you'll always have an upgrade available. the only thing I can't verify is whether that impacts your rebate, as my customers are all corp and gov't accounts and don't get mail in rebates.
Edit: technically sprint policy is the exact opposite of what I just wrote; upgrades have to be used for the line on which they were ordered. But it just has never really been enforced. So don't go holding me liable if you don't get your rebate or whatever else happens. I don't know if any other wireless providers enforce a policy like that, but it seems to me like it's a losing proposition. At the end of the day customers are going to swap out their phones however they want to, it's too hard to enforce, and the customer's perception is that it's unfair to go around policing things like that.

Well thats the thing, we're on 2 different lines, on 2 different ACCOUNTS. But would the discounts hold up? I Guess not, NOOOOO!!!!!!! lol
why dont u just have her upgrade her phone to which ever phone you want, and simply swap phones online or at the sprint store. so in the end she keeps her phone, and u get the upgrade, but like it was mentioned before, u will lose the mail-in-rebate, unless u buy the phone at best buy.
Thats my point. So I guess I should go and get it at Best Buy?
Sounds like the best bet, I've never bought a phone from them, so I don't know if they are capable of transferring numbers tho, anyone else know if best buy can swap phones?

Recently attempted to swap phones on 2 different service plans, I was gonna use my mother in laws phone to upgrade my kids line. The in store rep said she would have to keep the phone for at least 30 days, or she would be charged full price.

I did this at Best Buy as well, used the upgrade on my Mom's line to get my Evo last spring. No extra charges, no waiting, they just transfer it for you.
I used my wife's upgrade the last two times to go from my Hero to the EVO4G and then to the EVO 3D. I did all of them at Wal-Mart. The guy in the electronics department did everything for me.
So best buy would be the best bet? Even if the upgrade is on a total different account? I just dont want to lose the discount on the phone!

YEa .....Just got to wait till May, when I get my own upgrade :/
In an industry where customer churn can be likened to the fearsome troll under the bridge, Sprint has launched a program designed to keep its favored subscribers around for another two years. While not everyone is eligible -- those who've upgraded less than eight months ago, corporate outfits and those in collections need not inquire -- the program lets customers buy their way out of their current commitment and become eligible for a new, subsidized handset. The promotion begins February 12th and is set to run through the 14th of April, where the amount you pay correlates to the time since your last upgrade. So if you're currently pining for the Epic 4G Touch or the iPhone 4S, just give your local Sprint store a call this Sunday. They just may be able to hook you up.

Probably because people like me, who have a family plan and are getting a discount through work, are able to cancel this month with no ETF fee.
They are probably launching this to lure those people who might leave to stay with Sprint.
I'll soon be saying goodbye to my trusty EVO 4G and picking up a free Galaxy S II on T-Mobile tomorrow.
Unfortunately there isn't really anything worthwhile to chose from. I'd rather wait until after some LTE phones are out.

I'm inclined to agree with this. Not that it's in any way surprising. Makes sense.

Too little too late IMO. Sprint is losing tons of money. The only reason I stay with them is unlimited data, and when my contract is up in 2 months they better have the Sprint Nexus out and give it to me for a very good deal.
Verizon has better coverage, fast LTE and the Nexus - Sprint need to compete with that for the tons of people who were original Evo4G customers.
But the Verizon Nexus will not be capable of roms compiled from source due to CDMA support from Google being pulled (same as sprint), as per my understanding.

My kingdom for a Sprint Nexus.
This article seems to have went away..Anyone know where some info is on this? the link in the OP doesnt go anywhere but to the main site page now.
While the Nexus seems great, you have to be anxious for possible lte phones from sprint like the HTC Zeta (drool), HTC Edge, and the Sammy Galaxy SIII.
It is possible that Sprint will pick up at least one of these Q2 in 2012. After MWC we should know more.
I have been with sprint almost 20 years now, and 2 years ago they hooked me good with the Evo. Man I hope they get an equal replacement for everyone who purchased one 2 years ago and is ready for an upgrade.
It would be cool to have a phone as powerful as my Transformer Prime, and with better wifi....lol
A man can dream right?

I really hope that's not the truth. I'm excited to hear what the specs of the next EVO are going to be.... hopefully a quad core with a 4.5-4.65 in screen. That's the only way I'm going to use my upgrade.
*Edit*- And of course LTE.

Personally I think it has to do with Sprint's network. My tinfoil hat theory is that they don't have the cash to upgrade their network to keep pace with the other carriers so they're trying to lock people into contracts . From my perspective first and foremost is their lack of tower back haul and having the proper bandwidth available in many areas Secondarily, LTE won't be fully rolled out for quite a while.
I live in a small to medium sized city which has Div 1 university. I average 10-75 kbps each night when I get home from work and not much better when I leave in the mornings. Watching the network.spring.com website, there was to be a capacity upgrade to the tower closest to me. Now its not listed on the website anymore. Thanks Sprint.
Well I've looked all over the sprint website and still don't see the promo anywhere.

Besides the current top shelf smartphones, Evo 3d, Nexus, and epic....what does sprint have to offer right now that is truly an upgrade. The Evo has the most development I have ever seen on these forums. With all the current development for our Evo these phones just seem like a lateral movement. Especially with the upcoming line up from Samsung and HTC.
Not trying to argue. Maybe I'm not seeing all that's out there.
Thanks

Im a unlimited plan person...grand-fathered in -_- grrrrrrrrrrrr this may make me switch to some other carrier......
They've really gotta update their $30 data offering to 4GB across the board. Up until Google Music I didn't use 2GB, but not anymore. I'm looking at my plan and it looks like they no longer offer mobile-to-mobile (M2M) texting either. It's either 1000 or unlimited messages per month. SMS on the whole costs carriers almost nothing.
For those without corporate discounts, $80 is the cheapest data plan you can get. Is that really not enough Verizon?
I am also one of these 'grand-fathered' customers and if this goes through I will most likely be switching to Sprint when my contract ends. Sad. I hope Sprint picks up the new Galaxy S in time so I can at least stay on the phone I like, although that new HTC looks like it'd be a sweet alternative.
So which will happen first...Verizon offers the Samsung Galaxy S 3, or Verizon penalizes loyal customers for upgrading?
If it's the latter, I'm jumping ship...assuming there are any carriers left who offer unlimited data.

I was specifically referring to the One X being released around the same time as the Galaxy S3... I just meant if the S3 isn't available by the time my contract expires it'd be my 2nd choice. If I get a really good deal though I wouldn't be completely opposed to going with an S2, but we'll see I guess. Maybe we'll get lucky and Verizon will drop this whole thing due to negative reaction.
I use less than 2GB a month and often less than 1 GB but if they are eliminating unlimited data then there's no reason for me to stay on Verizon.
As someone who's only source of real internet at home is mobile or expensive, high latency satellite. And bring a gamer that uses 6gb per month. I well be keeping my unlimited line on 3g for as long as the 2 fascinates on my plan live. F#(k you Verizon! It's not that your struggling. It's that you need to make next quarter bigger than last quarter. And you've already dodged all the taxes you could so it's squeeze time on your customers.
I will do everything possible to keep my account a least profitable one.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
does not suprise me one bit! if i loose unlimited data then its time to jump ship!
Yes but if they switch and change your plan before the contract is up, it would give you grounds to dump them without an early termination fee.
Unfortunately Verizon is the only one that gets service where.I live... but since I can just use the Wifi at my house (and do), who cares.
I am not on Verizon but it have the 5g cap from us cellular when they changed it and I thought it would be a big deal, but I really font download as much as I thought. I download all my rooms at home anyway because it is much faster and doesn't use up the allotted amount. I am sorry, but getting 46 down with my home service does make it easier. I too was once on the dial up or satallite on internet category so I feel for you.

It is breaking a contract and you can get out if you choose. It happens all the time, but they dont make it a big deal so people don't leave. If and when they do, they have to send you a notice with the option to opt out, legally they do.

5GB is decent. Verizon charges $50/month I think for that tier. No thanks! I mentioned text service is virtually free for providers to support. 3G & LTE are polar opposites to SMS. I do not wholly blame people who tether an ass ton without a tethering plan, but they certainly did not help.
Regardless Verizon has never really stopped being greedy I guess you could say
$50 for 5g plan does seem a but steep, but most companies are switching to a tiered plan at this point. I am paying 130/month for two phones with the 5gig plan, unlimited texts, and something like 1200 minutes. And I get a new phone every 10 months(new to me...slow us cellular).
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
I can only afford 2 gigs a months and it isn't enough. I try and watch my data but I always go over and have to pay an extra $10.
I have a friend with a GS2 she said she would give to me(has a nearly in noticeable crack)and my mom wants a smart phone anyway. Might just give her my fassy and go to sprint.

Unlimited 4g sounds amazing. If they take it off I'm switching to sprint. Would be the same price a month. Plus with sprint and Amazon wireless you can get gs2 or future gs3 for a penny for new customers.

T-Mobile announces 'JUMP!' upgrade plan, new LTE markets and devices. http://goo.gl/mag/fx1qW1R
I am definitely signing up for this. I'm already paying for a phone and the monthly premium insurance. Knock out 10 bucks off my bill aaaand get a new device every 6 months....
Wait, they will giving me a discount on what I already pay......Dude I'm totally in.
Actually you pay 10$ a month, it does include that total insurance program though...the caveat is that you still pay the down payment (say 99$ down plus taxes on a S4) PLUS the EIP of 20$ a month....is it worth the every six months upgrade? Maybe.
I have five phone lines and two upgrades available (plus I just upgraded in May)....not worth it in certain situations...

I thought T-Mobile was making things much more simple and straight forward with the financing for the phone. Now they've added this new option that just adds another complex layer, making it harder to compare plans from carrier to carrier.
I'm not saying it's bad, it just adds another variable to consider.
One more thing....
You have to turn in your current device (I'm assuming the one on the line you're upgrading) as well.
Meh.
As someone who has multiple devices on multiple lines and sells the oldest device before obtaining a new one.....

Are you feeling like LG got one over on you? With the new T-Mobile jump program introduced today you can now jump 3 times a year, no cost. Badass.
Not in the least. I hated the Note 4, think the S6 looks like a larger iPhone6, could never deal with the underwhelming camera on the m9, and frankly would never own another iPhone. That didn't leave me with many options when I got to the point where my options were 1) I was going to use JUMP to get away from my Note 4 or 2) I was going to throw my Note 4 at the wall.
So far, I love the G4.
You're basically paying the same amount of money, but you no longer have phone insurance.
ummm...I have phone insurance with Jump...it's included, but I don't care to be able to upgrade early at no cost. I will pay my phone off early & have my bill back down to where it used to be.

If you're already an existing JUMP user, you don't get to JUMP On Demand. You have to pay off your phone and then sign up with JUMP On Demand with your new phone. Which will no longer have insurance unless you want to pay an extra $8/mo.
If JUMP On Demand included insurance or at least let current JUMP members switch to it right away, it might be a bit more appealing. As is, meh. I'll pass.

Nothing...smoke and mirrors. It's actually a reduced version of the old JUMP program. You lose the device protection, but can JUMP 3 times a year or something. Same price tho...10 bucks. Better off on old plan if you have it

My 2 week period is over Saturday, im considering returning it and rebuying with the new JUMP.
I always envied JUMP1 and hated everything about JUMP2. JUMP3 is every bit as good as JUMP1 with the option to waive the $10 fee if you feel you can do without insurance.

Now after reading further, I understand your point.
Truth be told, JUMP 2 (which I'm currently on) is really a bit of a ripoff. I am not clumsy with my device, so I don't need the protection, I don't use Lookout, as I find it just alerts me to every site I am going to as being "safe. And then comes the "Jump" I did to get the G4. I had a Note 4. Owed right about $600. I pd $280 to bring device to half price (after paying $10/month for the 6 months I had the phone). So, $340 out of pocket. I could have sold phone on swappa for $450-500, costing me $100-150 to pay off the phone out of pocket. #IntelligenceFail.
Looks like I'll be cancelling my JUMP 2 program LOL.
So, LG didn't get one over on me....T-Mobile did....DOH!
Was going to get the G4 the other day from T-mobile, but will wait to get it with On Demand. It's the same cost as EIP and there is no $10 fee like regular JUMP. Set myself up to use On Demand in a few months for the rumored LG Pro G4.

Each time you upgrade, you have to put money down again, and the money you put down previously, doesn't roll over to the next phone you get, so it doesn't seem worth it to upgrade that much, unless you have great credit, and don't have to put anything down each time, Im almost done paying off my G3, after that, I may get the G4, or wait until fall and get the G4 pro, or whatever it'll be called,.

You don't have to take it back if you're still in your grace period.
Just call them up and have them add Jump On Demand or switch from Jump to Jump on Demand. I did this yesterday.

Call 611. I purchased my G4 online....
Just FYI, i was told by a salesperson that if you have the original JUMP, NEVER<EVER<EVER<EVER change it, no matter the wording of anything new that comes out,the original JUMP the best plan they will have now or in the future. Just what a T-Mobile sales rep told me. This was prior to this new plan, but if you are an original JUMP member i would think twice before changing, just research it well and make sure its the right choice.
I'm impressed he could see the future. I'd ask him for stock tips too....
No plan is prefect for everybody - research is always good but a blanket statement like that with no idea what the future holds is a little naive.
I was on the fence about leaving the Nexus line when I went to the G4 so I added Jump. This new leasing plan is simply a better piece of mind plan for the next 6 months as the new Moto X, rumored LG G4 Pro and the next Nexus are announced. I'm happy to lease phone(s) for the next 6 months and sort it all out then....that't the beauty of t-mo. I can always opt out and purchase outright.

You don't have to take it back if you're still in your grace period.
Just call them up and have them add Jump On Demand or switch from Jump to Jump on Demand. I did this yesterday.

Just FYI, i was told by a salesperson that if you have the original JUMP, NEVER<EVER<EVER<EVER change it, no matter the wording of anything new that comes out,the original JUMP the best plan they will have now or in the future. Just what a T-Mobile sales rep told me. This was prior to this new plan, but if you are an original JUMP member i would think twice before changing, just research it well and make sure its the right choice.

It makes no sense... If you're "never never never never change it" then are you even jumping?
