Here is my recent experience with Sprint for what it's worth. I started up a new line of service with Sprint and received a smartphone at a deep discount after rebates and instant savings. I was told that it was Sprint's policy that this new smartphone stay on the new line for an initial 30 day period in order to be eligible for the rebates. However, the agent went ahead and made an exception to the rule allowing me to swap the smartphone with a non-active flip phone I had lying around. I then was able to have the new smartphone replace one of my other phones on an existing line.
