What???

I thought this was the best news of the day for me.

I am going to port my T-Mobile number to Sprint.

And I actually have a question about this. I am still under contract with T-Mobile, Do I need to go Sprint first, buy EVO, sign 2-year contract, and they will port number.

Or do I need to cancel my contract with T-Mobile first, THEN go and buy EVO, sign contract, etc?
 
Curious if this works if you're coming form an account that gets a corporate discount, and moving to one on sprint. But the acct is individual, not technically through the employer
 
You go to Sprint first and they will port the number when you setup your new account, once the port is complete T-Mobile will automagically cancel your line.
 
cant wait to see my $$$ start to come in from all of you... :p :rolleyes:

yeah. you call sprint and they will port it.. your old provider will get the hint :P:p
 
exactly. hardly any of us will be able to take advantage of this. so stop getting your hopes up people. /endthread

Service credit request must be made at https://www.sprintportcredit.com within 72 hours from the port-in activation date for your Service Credit Request. Service credit is available only to eligible corporate-liable accounts. Promo requires 2-year contract agreement outside of hierarchy/special contract terms. Must port in from an active wireless line and remain active on original account number for 61 days in order to receive full service credit. You should continue paying your bill while waiting for your service credit to avoid service disruption and possible credit delay.

Credits apply to all devices that have an associated mobile number and come through the port process. Promotion excludes port ins from providers currently associated with Sprint. Excludes all Individual Liable, Seasonal Standby, and Special Government Rate Plans less than $10 (e.g., U3169, U3169H, U3169D, C1266).
Payment Expectations: $100 per active line on the original Sprint Account Number will appear on your first or second invoice following the 61st day after the port-in activation. Service credits will appear in adjustment summary section at account level on invoice and will appear as a "VALUED CUSTOMER SERVICE CREDIT." If service credit does not appear on the invoice following the 61st day, visit https://www.sprintportcredit.com and click on "Where
 
Some times the best you can get as an employee getting a company discount is for them to waive the $36 activation fee. Some company discounts include this, some don't. You should ask though, and let them know you're going to be taking a hit on the other end and appeal to Sprint for a little help softening the blow.

They need to add millions of subcribers so it might be worth a try.

Will T-Mobile be calling me and saying

"We've just had your number ported to the Sprint network, say it ain't so?"

Will they demand the ETF right away?
