I can't believe this worked, but my wife, who as a 1250 minute $49 SERO plan (and only should have had the $30 plan/450 Minute plan, she never goes as high as 300 minutes) was 8 months or so out-of-contract, unlike me. This is because she stayed with her Mogul when I went to the TP2. In another thread, a member or two had ran up to a certain point on BestBuy.com, but hadn't "pulled the trigger" for one reason or another. That was this morning. I immediately tried, but the site was going into overload mode, and I never could get it completed to see if it worked. It took until now to get it to get me back into CheckOut, despite the phone being in my (well, HER) cart all day (and we never got "timed out"). I had already entered the Credit Card and Drivers License this AM (twice), but kept crashing out. Just now, it went all the way through, after entering it again. The pages have drop down boxes that say "Keep Existing Plan", and I saved each of the 2 pages that said that in 4 different formats with the dropdown boxes open, and printed the final Thank You page 3 times, in case there is a fight when we go to activate it.

I don't think they can win. In the worst case, we have a $449 phone for $251 (including S&H and the tax on the full price), and a good cause of legal action (against both Best Buy and Sprint) for refusing to activate it. Oh, and we did have the $10 fee added to the "Keep Existing Plan". No biggie.

You'd better hurry if you're eligible, this loophole probably will get closed soon.
