Fraud? This is in no way fraud. We do alternate upgrades at VZW daily.

- You have a line of service that is eligible for upgrade
- You're agreeing to a new 2-year contract term
- The line whose upgrade eligibility is being used will still be incur an ETF if canceled within the 2-year term

There is nothing about this type of transaction that is fraudulent.

So can anybody tell me the process for this to work? Do I simply ESN swap another phone on my account to the airave number and the airave to one of the non-airrave numbers? I'm lost.

my brother also works for verizon but still carries his sprint phone for the same reason. sprint works great in UT and he'd be paying more even as a VZW employee than he does for sprint so he sticks with them, he's even likely the first guy that preordered an Evo from Radioshack in SL Valley so on June 4, he's going to walk into the VZW call center packin' the Evo

funny story about people using phones from other than their employers, he helped a VZW customer the other day who works for sprint, while he works for VZW and carries sprint

I have the airave as well. If i wanted to get the EVO from my airave's supposed phone upgrade thingy, how would I go about doing it from the sprint website? I'd like to save my $150 upgrade on my main line if possible.
I have the exact same plan as OP as well, including Airave. I dont know if the EVO is worth it. I'm happy with TP2 and latest EnergyRom/C0okie Mod. I dont have 4G in my area yet anyway. SERO is just too good of a deal. Even a switch to $59 EPRP plan seems to be a waste of $ if I'm not going to gain 4G. With TEP, the bill would go from $41 to $71+ and thats NOT even counting the $10 extra if you want 4G.

I'm interested to see how this plays out. I dont think Sprint will limit legacy plan holders on every new smartphone that comes out forever. At some point, after they have forced enough people to migrate with this strategy, they MIGHT ease up on the restrictions. Windows Phone 7 will be a pivotal time for seeing how they will go forward with this policy. If they open up SERO for WP7 phones we may have hope. Otherwise, they will have made a firm corp. decision to make all legacy/SERO plans dumphone only since no new smartphones will work with it. There are a lot of legacy plan holders with business smart phones using WM6.x. I'm hoping at some point things change. At least for now, I'm attempting to wait them out. Telling your loyal, legacy plan holders they cant get any new smartphones forever is a pretty bold move. They wont get me to jump ship this easily.

OP, let us know how your transition to EPRP goes.

Re: Not eligible to upgrade on your voice line? You may be in luck if you have an Air

I have a phone with Sprint that is out of contract and an internet usb card that is still under contract. Can I get the evo and switch my internet card to a voice line to activate my EVO on?

Re: Not eligible to upgrade on your voice line? You may be in luck if you have an Air

i just noticed my airuave line is also eligible for an upgrade as is my primary. i thought as a sprint premier customer only the primary line was eligible for an uprade after 12 months.

[QUOTE=jbearamus;1786668]technically yes, but why?[/QUOTE

The EVO can connect 5 or 8 devices for $30 a month and my wireless card is almost $70! (with taxes and such)

I stopped by a Sprint store and the rep said NO I CAN"T. My internet card is not eligible for the discount price till next year sometime.
