Two methods:

1. If you do the Sprint in-store service, as outlined by the new policy in the OP, you can now add TEP after your 1st servicing. That is, after your freebie they give now you a chance now to insure the device. That's a big policy change and welcomed.
2. The unofficial way is to re-activate an older phone on your account then switch back after a few days to the "damaged" phone. This also "resets" the activation period and you should be able to add TEP to that phone. But it is generally then advised to wait ~35 days to make a claim on it, otherwise you may be flagged for fraud as it looks suspicious (duh).
