Now with BYOD (eventually).

So tempting...But I think I'll hold out for the Ringplus deal. Having to place all calls over VOIP sounds rather frustrating.

Well, it is hard enough making sure I receive all my texts over CDMA.

Use Google Voice.

If you have an unused Sprint phone, you can try to activate it at http://www.freedompop.com/byod

 

I had an old Evo 4G that wasn't being used, and I just activated it on the free 200min/500MB plan.

 

You have to install their app from the Google Play store in order to make and receive calls. Over 3G, the call quality isn't great, but I could understand what was being said. On wifi, the call quality is much better. I don't have wimax here, but I assume it would be similar to wifi.

 

I'm getting .77mb down, .67 up over 3G, and that's what I'd expect from Sprint 3G here at this time of day.

Tried it with an old Epic and it says not supported.

I know it is not on the list, but has anyone tried activating an EVO 4G LTE?
