Short story short my Dad is due for an upgrade he said he'd buy me the GS4, is there anyway that he could buy the phone on his contract but give it to me? I want the GS4 so bad but won't be able to because my plan is not over anytime soon. Thanks guys.
Yes if you are both on sprint he can get the phone and get it activated and then call sprint and swap lines I do it all the time withvour three lines. Just remember you both must have sprint accounts, then call and tell them that you want to swap with another sprint customer.

I'm not on the same account as him would it still work?

I did the purchase through my dad that has a different account, so when they got the phone, I just activated the S4 on my account. The only thing that sucks is that he used his upgrade, but he didn't care because he likes his "flip" phone.

Yes as long as you both have sprint different accounts don't matter, but you dad would lose his upgrade and would have to wait 2 more years or you can trade back with him when its time for your upgrade. ...its works out pretty good for both ofvyou.

I heard that the Nexus S 4g is coming to Sprint and I'm interested in trading my Samsunv Epic for it. Can I sell my Samsung Epic and use the money to buy the Nexus S 4G without cancelling the contract. Thanks for your help.

Not unless you have a phone to use before you sell the Epic.

There are multiple lines on my account. Does that count?

No. There needs to be a phone on every line.
Texted while driving
Yes I have that
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
You're not understanding, you can't take a phone (in this case the Epic) off your line unless you have a phone to replace it at that very moment.
Texted while driving
what he's saying is:
If you sell your Epic, the phone will have to be deactivated from your account first. The only way to do that if you are on a contract is to replace the Epic with another phone so that line doesn't incur early termination fees.
Your options are
1: buy the Nexus first, activate it to your Epic line and then sell your Epic
2: if you have an old sprint phone lying around that is no longer in use then activate that on your Epic line, sell your Epic and then buy the nexus and replace your old throw away phone.
Wait I can have two phones on one line?

Only problem is used Epic's aren't selling for crap these days, you will have a large margin to cover when you buy the Nexus at full (no contract) price.
But heck, if you find someone willing to pay well for an Epic see if he wants two of them I'd like to move to the nexus as well.
Edit: it looks like the nexus S will only be $400 off contract...so we might be able to get close to that. Hmmm...decisions decisions.
I was wondering if i could do an assumption of liability on just a single line of a contract.
my mom and i currently have a family plan and its just us two on the account.
I was wondering if i could have someone take over JUST my line, as my mom doesnt want to leave verizon.
Yes you can. For exact details though call them.

If it is the 16gb make sure it is not thru Tmobile. People are purchasing thru TMO for $199 or even that last deal they had where it was for $50 or free I think. After they sell it then they wait a week or 2 and report it lost, stolen and TMO will block the IMEI.

Let's say that after a month or 2 you don't want the device and want to sell it, you will have a better chance of selling it to able to use on att, tmo, simple etc.

Assuming the seller doesn't have insurance on the phone:
What would this seller gain by reporting it stolen? He's still gonna have to pay the early termination fee.

I think it's easier to assume the seller does have insurance, especially on a two day old phone with plans of doing a scheme.
it's also easy to assume the seller may prefer the phone he was using before the n4, change the SIM, no etf

That's assuming he/she pays the etf. Some won't and could care less about their credit. Seller could be selling an already stolen phone and banking on getting rid of it before iemi is blacklisted.
I've also heard people use fake info to sign up for a 2 year contract get phone then just stop paying

Yea they'll refund it to your card once they get it back via UPS or whatever and most likely keep 50 bucks for reboxing fee just as a store would do, its 20 days remorse period from telesales and 14 in a corporate store.
