Boost moble, or let your contract expire and just go month to month. Also Sprint now lets you cancle your contract and doesnt charge you the full $200. Its pro-rated so you get charged on how many months you have left.

i don't know about that. i just went through a song and dance over a new replacement vs. refurb and they still charge $200 for early termination.

just buy a phone retail and then you can go month to month without a contract. you can do this will alltel so im just gonna assume that you can do this with sprint.

if you have a place like cricket or i think metro pcs they do like month to month w/o a contract. and if you have a sprint phone or any cdma phone you can have it flashed.

Thanks for the replies.... But i meant solely with sprint. My gf wants a phone. Im approved for two lines and i still have my Apache, and Vogue. But i spent two hours on a chat with three Sprint reps, and They just kept saying no matter what i need a two year contract.

@mr8820: they told me if my gf needed a deposit before that if i wanted to transfer the line to her she would still need to pay the deposit.

any contracts that were signed i believe back in November are now under the new prorated contract. all others still signed their original agreement and are bound by the $200 cancellation fee.

you could do this, but if it is a new line then you will have to sign a contract no matter what.

basically your best bet is to just sign a contract. because, when you sign a contract you get a huge discount on the phones that in the end if you cancel is just like giving them that discount back. for example: blackberry 8330 is $579 retail. if you sign a contract you get it for $49 bucks... i mean hell. you just made your money if you end up cancelling your contract. hope this helps in any way.

Well, i guess i could get her a Pre then, if i MUST sign a contract. I was hoping to hear from someone who works at Sprint though.

Its free to change your plan. Ask a Sprint rep if you change to a family plan if that would allow you to add her to your existing plan? With the family plan isnt it like $10 extra for each phone after 2 phones are hooked up to the plan. So theoreticly you would change your plan to a family plan with similar specs as your current plan, then add your GF or whatever she is and in doing so you dont add any additional time on to your plan. Not sure if that would work but I think you can add a line to family plan at anytime without extending contract. So in theory if all my info is correct that would work. They get more money you dont get any extended time bam everyones happy.
