Dude... dont call regular Sprint customer service call this number. 1-888-876-8381.. I just called them again to verify and they said you can buy the phone outright from either a Sprint store, BB or RS and all you have to do is call this number and they will activate it no problems. This is the direct number for advantage accounts.. the regular Sprint reps will have no clue what they're talking about. He even went in depth explaining to me about the $10 plan increase.
