Your better off if you want to get rid of the first line to port that number out and then back. It will cancel the first line and Sprint will then charge you #10 for every month left on the contract. If you do that, get a disposable phone (line virgin wireless phone) and port the number there.

I went through the porting this week on Monday. Took about 12 to 13 hours to port the number out of Sprint and then the next day about 3 to 4 hours to port it back to the new line. I now have that number on a new line with a 2 year contract and $150 upgrade eligibility and the old line is gone.
I'm doing the same thing , but I ported mine out to T-mobile prepaid. Did you have an account number for Virgin mobile? T-mobile prepaid told me my phone number is my account number, but I've been reading different things on the web.
