HELP! (setting up account w/ Sprint)

[-Sin-]

Ok heres the problem, well more of a concern.

i am not sure of what to do, mainly because i am getting conflicting answers from different sprint reps. What i am trying to do is buy a SERO 500 from somebody on this site, i do not have an existing phone line or account with Sprint. so i had to call and get my credit checked, so i did. a rep told me i would have to put $100 down and i could have 2 lines on my account, with a $150 spending limit.

i was talking with the owner of the SERO 500, he told me to call sprint back and pay the $100 down payment then send him the cash for the SERO 500, & a Samsung Reclaim. the deal was all set i had paypal'ed dude the cash. then i called sprint to have the $100 payed. the lady on the phone with sprint told me, in order to pay the 100, i HAD TO order a phone, plus sign up for an account, she suggested the everything data plan, i told her "Now why do i have to get a plan, when i just told you i was buying a sero 500, are you trying to trap me in a plan then i will have to terminate the account & pay the $200" she said something to the matter of "in order to pay your deductable you need to order a phone and put that phone on a plan also.

WHY DO I NEED TO BUY A PLAN AND ORDER A PHONE, when i just told her all about how i was buying a SERO 500 and getting him phone, it makes no sence to me why i would need to sign up to a plan, for like 2 days, then when i recieve the phone from the man who was selling me the SERO 500, i would also recieve a phone from the Sprint. ? ? ?
Would i be able to return one of the phone, plus lets say if i had signed up for the everything data plan as the rep advised me to do, would i be able to do tha TOL for the SERO 500 & be rid with the plan the sprint rep made me sign with, or would it require me to pay a early termination fee to get the everything plan gone, and just have me SERO that i am purchasing on my account.

God this is so hard to explain, what i am basically saying is this: "Sprint rep is telling me the truth, or trying to get me suckered into a 2 year contract with no way out. i told her i am BUYING A SERO plan from my friend, and taking HIS PHONE also, she made it out to be like i had to sign for a plan, order a phone in order to pay my $100 deductable, which is just pointless to me to have to do it like that." would i be able to cancel out the expensive sprint plan with no hitch? & would i be possably be able to return one of the phones upon recieving them both?? (1 from sprint, 1 from seller of the SERO 500) which both would be brand new still in box.


please YOUR THOUGHTS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I NEED TO GET THIS TOTALLY FIGURED OUT BECAUSE I AM READY TO GET MY SERO PLAN.

i am only getting the samsung reclaim because its basically a phone i am going to use for only a month, after that i will have saved enough money, which i would be upgrading to a Touch pro 2!!!!!
