Well, I heard through XDA that some people have had luck getting their phones upgraded via their Airave line on their family account. The line must be upgrade-eligible (login to your account and see if there's a message on that line saying you're eligible for $150 off).
I don't know what the steps are, but I know there are some extra steps needed to get this done. Apparently it is a PITA, but it does work. I'd like to do this so I can can get a second GS3 for my mother as well (her EVO OG is just not holding up well).
I called the local Radio Shack and they said they didn't know about it. I just need someone to guide me to the right store to get it done.
So you want RadioShack employee to explain a Sprint service in depth? Good luck. Lol

Upgrading an airave account isn't fraud.
It can also be upgraded by calling sprint and talking to them.

Fraud? Exaggerating a bit don't you think? Do you think Sprint hasn't corrected this issue so they can test their customers ethics? It's been around for years now buddy. Many people have done so. I just learned that Best Buy can do it too.
Fraud is more accurately associated wih other things that is found in these forums; such as free Wifi tethering, PRL hacking, etc. Acivating your phone on an Airave line that is left open by Sprint is not fraud, it's a loophole.
Anyways, what happens after the phone is activated on that line? Can I just transfer the device to my number? I don't want to be stuck with the $19.99 additional line fee though.
Sent from my Samsung Epic 4G Touch.
Your best bet is to just walk into the radio shack and try it. See if they are willing to spend the time to try and get you that upgrade. I did it with mine but I honestly can't remember all the details. I know there are no charges. Make sure you write down all the numbers from your Airave and bring them with you. I think I remember them needing the numbers that are similar to the esn on a phone. Good luck!

follow your own advice. those 2 links were to THREADS that you started regarding this same exact thing. why are you so hard-up for a new phone??? just go buy one
and considering one was already locked... reported this one as it's the exact same thing
Tell them that you will buy their accessories (screen protector and a case) and they will try their best helping you.

I saw on sensorly people had it there but when I went to HOB, I watched my signal the whole time we were in the area driving where others reported lte and I got nothing. I think they turn it on and off.

You guys a bit late They've been picking LTE there for a couple of weeks. Sensorly is your friend! Watch the new areas come online as they are completed/tested and also help make the maps bigger as you map coverage yourself.

No, it's not just you. 3G is utterly non-existent.
I raised hell with Sprint about this yesterday and got a $150 credit on my bill. I said, "I'm paying $10 a month for Premium Data and I'm getting No Data!". They try to tell you that is a "Smartphone Charge", but it's not, it's a "Premium Data" charge that was implemented with the advent of 4G. Now they are trying to still charge us for crap 3G and no 4G. It says "Premium Data" on your bill, not "Smartphone".
Raise some hell, get a rebate.
Good news, I'll be in Tampa tomorrow for 2 weeks for the holiday.
Damn Sprint. They need to turn it on in Temple Terrace/USF area lol

What is DC? I thought it was referring to DC-HSPA at first, but being on Sprint leads me to believe you meant Washington, DC. Please name your threads properly...

I see where's he's coming from. No need to call him dumb.
Most companies (who offered service in D.C.) already had 4G in D.C. whether it was HSPA+ or LTE.
Let's hope they are!
His reply was scoffing, therefore he gets one back. He can not point blank say he thinks the ops an idiot all he wants, but you can tell he thinks it in his post so IMO he may as well have said it. And again, only an absolute idiot would think the op meant anything other than Washington.

First of all, thanks for calling me an "absolute idiot". If you read my post, I clearly spelled out "Washington, DC." That's not the problem. The problem, as I already explained, is "DC 4g" by itself is vague. I was hoping for something related to DC-HSPA+ (a different type of 4G that's not LTE, but comparable in speeds), not DC the state. If I had knew that the post would be about DC the state, I wouldn't have clicked it, because I don't live anywhere near, or care about, DC the state. Heck, if you wrote "Possible 4g testing in DC", then that would solve it, and without insulting anyone's intelligence (See? Now I know what DC means!). Even better, tag it with "[Sprint]" so that those of us on Verizon or GSM carriers can ignore it! Fewer trolls in your thread, more happiness all around. Win-win.
TL;DR: I didn't like the thread title. If I were mod, I would edit it, but I'm not. Instead, I asked politely and get called a moron. Good job.
You should probably find something more important to gripe about other than the few seconds you lost looking at this. Your time can't be that valuable considering how much time you have put into griping about it. The mods likely have more important things to concern themselves with than your individual confusion.
As for Sprint 4g in DC, it's been in some parts for about 2 months now. Started around 14th & U and spread from there. Some in MD and VA around DC. Check out Sensorly.com and S4GRU.com for more information.

I had issues getting the Asphalt car pack and it turns out all you needed to do was finish the tutorial. May be the same kind of thing for Family Guy.
I don't see any fifteen dollar gift card in the gifts though. That's our question. Where did he see this gift card.
