Re: How to get my EVO? Contract :(

Or I could swap to the normal consumer plan and get my corp discount which would be like $111. I have 2 lines I want to swap to the EVO.

So I could cancel 2/3 SERO lines and pay $70 a piece for early term fee (protrated, expires in Jan). Now can I keep the 2 numbers I am canceling? What would I need to do? Can I port the two numbers? Where to? And then after that go sign up for a new plan. I was thinking porting them to a pre-paid or something else if cheaper and then porting back. If I do that can I then pull that 3rd line that wasn't canceled and have it added to the new family plan? Not sure how a lot of this works.

I have had both Touch Pros replaced 4 times now and they just keep having issues. I have the service protection plan so they just keep swapping it for the Touch Pro So I want an EVO
If you have no problem paying the ETF's on those two lines, then just port them to Virgin Mobile. Try to do it as close to your bill cycle date as possible, because the lines on your Sprint account won't disconnect right away, even if the numbers are active with Virgin Mobile right away. Once the numbers are ported, the lines on your Sprint account go into a port out suspend status. Then the lines disconnect on the last day of the cycle. This is significant, because you won't be able to port the numbers back, until those two lines are showing as disconnected on the Sprint account.

Once they're showing as being disconnected on the Sprint account, then just port the numbers from Virgin Mobile back to Sprint. Sprint will ask for the numbers you want to port along with their account numbers. Since Virgin Mobile is prepaid, they don't have an account number. You will instead give them the Virgin Mobile vKey, which is their account password/passcode.

You can then get your new phones along with the process of porting those numbers back to Sprint. You will also be able to combine the lines with the one line that was still on your Sprint account to being with.
