Upgrading to Epic Touch 4G?

I'm planning on upgrading to the Epic Touch 4G when it comes out, but my upgrade isn't due up for a few more months. However, my mom's phone is long overdue for an upgrade, and she's going to get my old Epic. My question is, can I use her upgrade on my line while transferring her line to my old phone?

I have done this many times. Have done it at the sprint store and radio shack. Just tell them you want to upgrade this line but you want to swap phones. I did it when I got the Epic. I did it to upgrade my daughters phone. And when I put my daughter on the account I gave my wife the new phone and my daughter her phone. Right at the counter each time.

This. I just did this when I got my nexus. I wanted to wait for the epic touch. However my mother in law really needed a new phone. Her moment finally died lol. So I just used her upgrade for the nexus and switch the phone right there at sprint. So she got my old epic and I got the nexus s4g.

I got a call from Sprint around noon that my phone was in and I may get it tomorrow at 9am, but my buddy never got his pre-order call. He called the store and they said they already have all the phones and we are both welcome to stop by on our way home tonight and get the phone! WOOT!
This was an official Sprint store, not a 3rd-party Sprint store.

This comes with Android 2.3.4, right ?
Can somebody please check for me if "DSLR Controller" shows up in Market on the device ? If so, this device has full USB host out of the box (both kernel and API)

I already have the (original) SGS2... I can't get the Epic 4G Touch because Sprint doesn't exist in my country

Hopefully moving to the Epic Touch.

Some of you might remember me from the original Epic and my roms and work there.
I will hopefully be able to switch to the Epic Touch since I've had three replacements on my Nexus S 4G.
Going to try the store today and see what happens.

The zImage shouldn't be that hard to pull..

i dont think they put the epic touch on the wel exchange list yet, at least what my buddy thats a store manager said when i bought this on thursday told me.
hope you can get it to go thru though! good luck buddy

Well, I've been asking them to bump my upgrade up and I'll just pay the contract price for whatever device I want. Hopefully, that or I can just give them the cost of the Epic Touch.
I really want to port my ROMs over, and Sense.

Anybody know of the terms of the Sprint Well Program? I hate to drive all the way to a city an hour and a half away and be turned away. The phone has been replaced 3 times in 2 weeks, and the issues noted on the account.

I've been in constant contact with them for the past 2-3 weeks on the issue, not even looking to get a different phone, just one that works, but now they don't want to do anything for me since I've already had 3 replacements, the phone should 'already work by now'.

I'm waiting to release at the same time as the Nexus S Sense port.
We are also still working on some WiFi issues, but 3G works.

They have actually offered to buy back my Nexus for $100 and reset my upgrade eligibility so I should be good to go within the next 24-48 hours, hopefully today, so I can reserve an Epic Touch 4G.

switch to newer et4g

I just bought a new epic touch 4g for my sister using my add a line option for .01 cent. what i was wondering if there was a way for me to switch my line to the newer phone and give my sister the one im currently using without having to go through sprint. thanks with any help.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

You can easily do esn swaps on sprint.com. I assume when you say not sealing with sprint, you mean not calling or visiting in person. Look for the activate new phone option when logged into your account

thanks for your info.the phone arrived today and when i turned it on it automatically activated. is the way u just told me about still an option or do i need to do something diff now that its already activated?

Just call n tell them u wanna switch lines on the phones.took me less then 10 minutes when i switched the lines around from my iphone 4s to galaxy 2....
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

i might, i just prefer doing things myself

You can do the esn swap online. However since both phones are activated you will need a extra Sprint phone to clear off the esn for the system to activate the phones.

I did exactly this a couple of weeks ago. You don't have to go to the Sprint store. Just call them and they'll do it over the phone. They have to set something up on their side and then they ask you to do some things on the phones and you're all set. My suggestion is that you call them from a phone that is not one of the two that you're trying to swap because you'll have to do stuff to your phones.

Like I said he can do this himself if he really wants to. I do it all the time and its faster then calling Sprint. He will just need a extra Sprint phone that's not being used to free up the phones he wants to swap. For example when I got the first Evo and added a line and got the Epic here's what I did. Swapped Evo to Palm Pre, then I swapped the Epic to Evo, and finally Palm Pre to Epic.. And the stuff Sprint tells you to program is given to you on the site and in a back up email just in case.

Would sprint buy the epic 4g?

I just realized I qualified for an upgrade since april. I was thinking it was in augest.
Anyway, I wanna buy a new phone. I really don't want to sell my epic because I love it and I just want a new phone to keep on the side and not to actually use. So my number would stay on the epic and I would get a newer phone for my music and games and stuff. I don't think anyone would do this but I am lol I need my keyboard.
So I was thinking gs3 or epic touch.
But just incase I have to pay an amount of money that I don't have and I would have to give up my epic to get a newer phone would sprint buy this phone from me for a reasonable price? Like let's say $100?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA

I think Sprint will give your around $30-35 dollars.
You will get much more if you sell it online or some such.
You can use your upgrade to get a new Phone, probably around $200, and just not activate it, and then you can keep using your Epic.
Thanks said, if your Epic is in working order, and has a clean ESN, I would give you $100 for it.

Ya I was thinking I may sell it online. And I also have an extra battery for it. Its the same as its stock one.
I'm going to go to the sprint store sometime soon and see what phones they have there and what they offer.
if I have to sell my phone to get a new one I may sell it for about $100. Ill let you know if you want it. And yes its in perfect condition I don't remember dropping it not even once and everything works.

The upgrade discount is only valid if it's activated on a renewed contract. No activation means no discount.

After you activate a new/upgrade account, that phone must remain active on that line for 6 months. (might be 3) This is why I use GVoice. I have 4 lines and me and wifey trade up renewals with 2 of the lines.

Sprint doesn't allow buy backs of any of their devices which have dirty ESNS. Corporate retail employees who do this sort of thing can and will be subjected to disciplinary action of up to and including termination of employment. I know this personally from seeing about half a dozen of employees in our DM's market promoted to customer. You have to remember people that Sprint has a report on just about anything you do in RMS and are able to drill down to employee ID level.

They wanted to give me $60 for mine when I upgraded, but I decided to keep it and try selling it for a little more private.

That's exactly why I don't wanna have to sell this phone I just love it lol.
But seriously if I get an upgrade I have to use that phone for the first 6 months??? I can't believe that cuz they can't just tie me to one phone. What if I bought another phone I'm not allowed to use that?
I was really wanting to buy the g23. But I think the epic touch wouldn't be bad either. And its 100 dollars cheaper. But its a shame that both the epic and the epic touch cost 100 with a new contract lol.
