T-Mobile will let you get a line without a contract. You just have to qualify (credit) for post-paid service and shell out an extra $10 per month...

If i ever get a chance to buy a Touch HD then that tmobile thing sounds cool, but i would still keep my line with sprint. I have the the best plan, and dont want to lose it. hopefully my unlimited data will encompass wimax when that gets rolled out.

at one point last year there was a no contract plan offered in teh sprint sales brochures. IIRC it was either 49.99 or 59.99 but you only got 200 anytime minutes 1000 n&w minutes with n&w starting at 9.. i havent seen it in the brochures in a while but it might be in the computers somewhere.

oh and you had to pay unactivated prices for the phone.

chanced are they dropped it when the power pack plans went away though.

ok, where there's a will there's a way..

I don't have any personal experience with this, but you can try to take over someone's plan, maybe someone here upgrading to a pre? I know i've seen sero plans offered up for sale. I don't think you have to have a fam plan, as long as you qualify for 2 lines. I think the trick is the other person has to qualify too, otherwise they would have to do a simple change of plans. or of course if they were just going to swich carriers.
you can do a # change for free.

another thought would be to give liberty wireless a call, maybe you'll get lucky and they'll accept the esn. (they resell sprint service on prepaid)

Hey I'm a Sprint rep. When normal consumer plans I don't think I've ever seen a new MDN become active without a contract. There was a basic month-to-month plan offered before the simply everythings came out. The coding may still be in the system, but I doubt any rep will activate it. You mentioned that you have a plan with the unlimited vision, text, and whatnot. When wimax roles out, I highly doubt those socs will still work. The phones that work with wimax will most likely require the unlimited plans, much like how we require the pre and instinct to be on simply everything plans. For example, if you look at the plans in our system for our broadband cards, there are a completely different set of codes for normal 3g cards, and the wimax cards avail up in baltimore. I hope this helps clarify things a little.

I see that, i just dont understand why they dont do contracts on a case by case basis... I been a loyal customer since i was 16, 10 years ago! Plus with the plan i have now, I have no intention on switching, i just like the option to be able to.
