I brought this up in a different thread.

If you really wanted to bend your morals, it seems like you could port your number to a different carrier and cancel Sprint. Then simply sign back up as a "new customer" to get all the perks and discounts etc.

I'm not sure its worth the hassle, but theoretically you might be able to get a heavily discounted new device, sell your old one and make out pretty well.
