I been trying to figure out how to grab one of these for a good while now. I have 3 phones on my acct and only one of them is due for the upgrade price. the other 2 must wait a long time. Basically my wife said she is still plenty happy with her Phone and said that if I want I can use her upgrade.

Is that even possible to order the phone through telesales and use her upgrade and then put it on my phone # ? If not im gonna be waiting a long time

You should be able to without much a problem. Once you activate the phone online just do an ESN swap on the VZW website. Its very easy to do.

EDIT: Nevermind, your Sprint. Im still sure you wont have an issue.

I fixed it I put sprint in my profile

So if I was to order one using my wifes upgrade and when I get it. Could I activate it using my number or do I have to put on her number then switch later ?

Also what would that do the 30 day warranty?

Yes u can i used to work for Sprint once u upgrade u have to keep that phone on that number until u get Mail in rebate back .....because if you submit rebate for that number and they check and see its on your number rebate will be denied no questions asked cause that number was eligble don't ask me thats crazy I had a lot of calls on that issue ........

ya, mine was easy no rebate. the instinct was 129$ flat so rebate might be an issue.

Ok so I called telesales up to order a diamond and grab as much info as possible.

As far as what the dude told me he said it would be no problem using an upgrade off a different number and using it on my number . He also said that it would still retain is 30 day warranty and the rebate would still go through. I asked him are you sure like 5 times and he kept saying its ok and the rebate would still go though . So I dont know if he know what he is talking about or if he does. I really dont want to lose out on 100$ .

Also he said he couldn't order the diamond for me untill tomorow and he said he would call me back at 4pm tomorow so he could place that order for me .

Well its done . I just ordered the phone I will have it next week. I used the upgrade off my wifes number and was told many times that the rebate will still work and the 30 day return still works. Even if the rebate doesn't work they gave me a 70 dollar credit for some reason or another so I am ok if I never get that rebate. Thanks everyone for the help
