Nope- haven't given up hope on the Evo/Hero just yet. But I'm stymied for now.

As for how to get a good deal, my 22% is for my BestBuy discount- so you'll need to find a employer that works. The 500 texts/unlimited data for the primary line (my line) was what I got out of them the 1st time I renewed my contract.

I believe you can get -$10 if you have 1 line you're resigning. And then $5 for a 2nd line, and $3 for a 3rd line. BUT YOU HAVE TO PRESS THEM. If one agent doesn't give you what you want, call back in a few minutes and speak with another. The key is to get your account noted. Don't say "well, I heard so and so got this deal," because they'll just deny everything and stonewall you.

Instead, just press in with, "my contract is about to expire, what can you give me to renew?" If it's not good enough, just say bluntly, "no, that's not enough." Remember, when you're about to renew, it's the one time you have more leverage than they do. Use it to the fullest ability, otherwise you'll have to wait another 2 years. If the agent is uncooperative, remember what they offered you, call back in 30 min or so for a different agent, and repeat that offer and ask for more cherries on top.
