I can confirm that they will activate the device without any issues. I called the number listed, from my sprint phone (You MUST call from a phone on an employee plan to get to employee accounts) and they swapped it over and added the mobile hotspot feature for me without any issues.

Wus up..I have the Sprint free and clear plan (the best Sprint plan ever)....for everybody who has this plan, we are the last of a dying breed. Sprint has been tryin to get rid of us for years. Now I have the Evo on my gf account. So wut I'm gonna do is switch the Evo off her account . Then esn swap the evo to my account. In theory this should work but we will see. I'm gonna call Sprint and see if i can get the lock code for the Evo so I can esn swap it myself....stay tuned!!!!

So if Sprint is trying to get rid of this plan, what would they put us on instead?

Or do they not want 3rd Party reps to have employee plans?

They cant get rid of us lol, i didnt know it was still this many people who still have this plan. I think they still have 3rd party plans but not as good as the free and clear. They want to switch us to a regular plan, one with alot less perks. With this plan i cant upgrade, i cant add anything to my account without changing my plan. All u can do is buy phones outright and esn swap it. The problem is with these new 4g phones coming out i dont know if we will still be able to do this.

Well i got some bad news. I tried to esn swap the evo onto my free and clear account but it didnt work. i couldnt make phone calls nor access the internet. The wifi worked so i was able to use that. If you have the free and clear plan or any other employee account i would wait and buy the phone until somebody successfully swap the evo onto their account. I gonna call sprint today and see if they can swap it over in case i made a mistake....stay tuned!!!!!!!

This phone is the best sprint phone ever!!!!!!

You wont be able to... I forget the actual wording but you have to be on a modern data plan for it to take. It says select service plan and premium data addon... http://now.sprint.com/firsts/evo4g/ < at the bottom.

I left sero but immediately applied a 25% to the 450 everything plan. Not sure what thats going to bring be down to tho. Probably around 50 bucks or so.

Yea ur right, ive been on the phone with sprint for almost two hours to try and get this phone on my account but no luck. The main problem is the plan. They said dont matter where u got the phone ur gonna have to change ur plan, there is NO WAY AROUND IT at all. But im fine with that because i have the phone anyway. So to all my free and clear people were gonna have to stick with the htc pro 2 or whatever phone u have unless u do like i did and have ur girlfriend open up a line so u can get it lol. But for now there is no way around this, so in conclusion u CAN NOT put the htc evo on the free and clear employee plan sorry!!!!
