It has no downsides, this is a plan where a sprint employee takes the liability of the account. So if anything the person on the advantage plan does, the sprint employee is liable. You can't get on the plan unless a spritn employee completely trusts you.

So anyone on an Advantage account will never have the option to upgrade? So every time I want to get a new phone its FULL RETAIL?

No you can upgrade... they just wont let you do so until like a month or so after the phone is released. I guess they look at it like you're already getting a cheap plan so if we're going to give you the upgrade discount price too then you need to wait until the regular customers get theirs first. Most people have the patience to wait... but im not one of those people lol

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this applies to Sprint mobile to mobile not any mobile.

Also, does anyone know Advantage Club memebers have to pay for this new $10 Evo fee?

You do realize they take full responsibility for anyone on their advantage plan to the point where they can get fired? Its equivalent to you making a family plan and adding a line for a stranger.

yeah, and if the employee loses his/her job, you lose your awesome cheap plan.

Just skimming this thread, the rep you spoke to, was it in store? Or phone? If it was instore, they lied. If an employee even accesses an advantage line, they can get fired. And as far as I recall when I was on 1, you have to call employee care to switch it, not just care. OR theres always sprint.com/activate

Also, employees can have 30 advantage lines, not 4

And if I recall correctly Advantage lines still have to pay the extra $10 for the Evo, I can verify that later
