How to get my EVO? Contract :(

[Dulanic]

OK, so I am trying to find out my best options but want to see if anyone has any other ideas. I have 3 phones on SERO plans. I figured I could switch to either the EPRP family which my corp discount wont apply to and would cost me $125. Or I could swap to the normal consumer plan and get my corp discount which would be like $111. I have 2 lines I want to swap to the EVO.

So I could cancel 2/3 SERO lines and pay $70 a piece for early term fee (protrated, expires in Jan). Now can I keep the 2 numbers I am canceling? What would I need to do? Can I port the two numbers? Where to? And then after that go sign up for a new plan. I was thinking porting them to a pre-paid or something else if cheaper and then porting back. If I do that can I then pull that 3rd line that wasn't canceled and have it added to the new family plan? Not sure how a lot of this works.

I have had both Touch Pros replaced 4 times now and they just keep having issues. I have the service protection plan so they just keep swapping it for the Touch Pro So I want an EVO

i can't answer most of your questions but i do know the tp2 is available on the sero plan if that helps. plus, if you have bad tp's you should be able to get the tp2's for free.

Tried, no go. They won't swap out to the TP2 for me, I've had both phones swapped like 4 times each. None of the stores around me will do it, I've asked and tried. I've tried retentions, they won't either. Most they will do is give me a $25 account credit for resigning for another 2 years, I can't even get them to give me the $70 credit, which I don't want right now.

i had no trouble getting mine in december. sprint had just fixed my tp and it went bad again within 30 days of the repair. they offered me a tp2, no questions asked. i sold it because it was too heavy for my rheumatoid arthritic hands.

sorry to hear sprint has given you a hard time.

If you have no problem paying the ETF's on those two lines, then just port them to Virgin Mobile. Try to do it as close to your bill cycle date as possible, because the lines on your Sprint account won't disconnect right away, even if the numbers are active with Virgin Mobile right away. Once the numbers are ported, the lines on your Sprint account go into a port out suspend status. Then the lines disconnect on the last day of the cycle. This is significant, because you won't be able to port the numbers back, until those two lines are showing as disconnected on the Sprint account.

Once they're showing as being disconnected on the Sprint account, then just port the numbers from Virgin Mobile back to Sprint. Sprint will ask for the numbers you want to port along with their account numbers. Since Virgin Mobile is prepaid, they don't have an account number. You will instead give them the Virgin Mobile vKey, which is their account password/passcode.

You can then get your new phones along with the process of porting those numbers back to Sprint. You will also be able to combine the lines with the one line that was still on your Sprint account to being with.

Wonder if it would be possible to ask for the $70 credit on one line, change the plan, try to get an early upgrade with premier status. Cancel one of the lines which will wash the $70 credit for a net of $0 and then port the number away and then add a line back and port the # back. Swap my plan out of SERO and into the normal family play + 23% discount.

How far into contract do you need to be to get the $70? Im 1 year 6 months in on the 2 touch pro lines.

Get a everything data family plan. Base plan is $130, then get a 27% discount and you are at about $100 a month before taxes. 1500 minutes, everything else unlimited. This covers both phones.
