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?

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.

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.

Ok guys, here's my "delimma". I have an upgrade available to me. I've been wanting a gs2 since it came out in Europe. I had every intention of getting this within the first week it came out on tmo. BUT, reading about all the issues with lines on the screen, resolution, etc, I'm skeptical. It's basically going to be this phone or I'll cancel my line (I'm on a family line). I havent had a chance to play with one in person yet. So, in the meantime, I'm trying to gather opinions on the phone.
With all that being said, if you had a chance to relive Wednesday or whatever day you bought the gs2, would you buy it again?

I would for sure. I think it's the best phone on T-Mobile and T-Mobile is the cheapest out of the major wireless providers for me.
I am eligible for an upgrade to my iPhone 3GS from AT&T. Picked up a Galaxy S II and ported my number over to TMO. Almost everything about this phone is better than my old iPhone. Couldn't be happier. Oh, and I'm paying less for my plan, too!
Yep, I can relate to some. I tried the epic 4g touch version on sprint. If I could swap the internals with that it would be more awesome. As it stands though, once root is here and I can tether I'll be stoked. As of right now I'm happy with it. It feels solid and has a professional look and feel to it.

I'm going to give it a try again. The SGS2 was the phone I wanted from the git go. Sounds like the ones with the least amount of problems are the 9/28 boxes.

You mean your service account? If so it shouldn't be a problem, though you may have to visit a Sprint store & call Sprint should you run into issues.
When my Evo went bad I had an old HTC Hero laying around & was able to reactivate it with no problems, but I did have to go into a Sprint store.
You should have no problems. I deactivated/reactivated my E4GT a couple of times online whenever I wanted to use my Evo 3d.

When you did that did you have to pay a activation fee to activate the 3d then again to reactivate the e4gt? I always thought even if you are just swapping service they charge you an activation fee. My brother has a spare iPhone lying around that I wouldn't mind trying for a day. Would I be able to swap the service free of charge?

Sprint has a page that you just swap esn's or go to your main page and click activate an account... Its rather simple and no need to speak to anyone, its all automated whether its your first or one hundredth time and if you have to pay it will tell you
This^
It's says something like "activate phone" next to your device in "my account". Takes minutes, just need the esn #. They would prefer you do it rather than call them up and waste their time, right?

I have just a couple of questions. I just picked up an e4gt and I am going to flash it to Page Plus.
1. I see that I will only achieve 1x with the flash, I don't even remember what a speed difference that is. Is it terrible? I am not a heavy cell data user (most of the time have wifi) but I don't want it to be unusable.
2. Does anyone have info on using a donor phone to get 3g to work on the flashed phone?
Any other users out there that have e4gt on pageplus have any comments? How do you like the setup? I have a droid x2 on pp now and I have enjoyed it.
Thanks!
Usually u need the HA and AAA passwords from the donor to get 3g and then will need the APN settings to get MMS working. However idk if that works with pageplus or if you are limited to 1x only. You will have to Google how to retrieve the passwords tho
We are legion, for we are many.

OK well I guess it isn't easy. But if you do your research there a plenty of guides out there. They may not be for page plus but they are for similar cdma carriers and the process is generally the same. Some of the input values are just slightly different.
Edit: I am really considering switching to page plus in the next couple months as I am so sick of virgins horrible data speeds and I miss the reliability of the Verizon network.

That wouldn't be the case. It would ban new sales. Asurions devices are "already sold."
They'll still be required to sell or replace with w.e stock of E4GT they have left. And I bet there are a bunch of E4GT refurbs in stock to get rid of before they can replace your phone with another phone.

Ahh, but that's the beauty of Boost and other MVNOs - they can shift the ESNs to their pools and dump the stock VERY quickly if they wanted to. And with NV continuing to roll out to major cities - we're supposedly up in November - I wouldn't be surprised.
OTOH perhaps this will motivate my MVNO to get the S3. But have to wait until June anyhow for the renewal discount.

thats not true. the photon equivalent is the epic touch. i went through 2 photons and asked for a different phone. they gave me an epic touch.
It is impossible to say what they will send you. It seems to be either a lateral move (similar range phone) or an upgrade. I have gotten 2 replacements from asurion in the past 2 years. I had an EVO 4g. I dropped it and the screen broke, they replaced it with an EVO 3d. The EVO 3D recently broke in my pocket (I have no idea how, I must have crushed it leaning over something) and they sent me the E4GT. The 3D is a generation newer than the EVO 4g, so that is an upgrade, and the SGS2 E4GT is similar spec'd to the E3D, so that seems lateral. That said, if I could choose any the E4GT seems to be the best of the bunch. My upgrade is in October but I think I will keep this for now!
I would guess they would have to send you another phone with wimax to match the e4gt. Whatever has a matching price on their website.
