Djjim Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Question. If I port in a number from another wireless carrier and have service for a month or two, can I them 2 months down the road port in another number from a wireless carrier and delete the first ported in number?

koiulpoi Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Absolutely. It will just replace the first number, which will permanently be lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnys8913 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Why you wouldn't want to port the number you want in the first place is beyond me, ya its not a hassle but just kinda doesn't make sense to do that.... But hey everyone has there own ways of doing things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did something similar when I added my sister to my account. I activated a new line of service with new number, and then had her number ported in over it. It was a little tedious but Sprint was happy to do it. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk when they port land line numbers over (it takes a little longer) they give you a temp number anyway...so yea, not a huge deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djjim Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 In have a friend who wants to join my Framily. She will receive a port in credit of $200 but that offer ends Wednesday. Her contract is over in a few months. She wants the $200 so we thought we'd get a cheap prepaid number and port in and then in a few months when her contract is over she can port in her real number.

Just out of curiosity: Why doesn't she also take advantage of the Sprint ETF buyout offer? Or is that not compatible with the $200 offer?

Seems like a lot of work, why pay for two post paid plans for a couple of months just to get the credit? Will she even come out on top having to pay for two plans for a couple of months with just the $200 credit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newboyx Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Pretty sure the $200 credit only applies to port in from post paid accounts. EDIT I guess not, I reread the T&C and do not see the postpaid requirement. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenChase7 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 This is probably obvious but, make sure the port in number is not from a Sprint company (e.g. Virgin, Boost, FreedomPop, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djjim Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 Thanks guys. Yea, i don't think they can tell if it's postpaid or prepaid. If you do a reverse phone number search on white pages dot com on a Page Plus number it shows Verizon, Republic Wireless shows Sprint, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, I see it as this: $25 Framily at best with x 3 months or more (since the word "few" was used): $75 I'm guessing other carrier is $60+ x 3 months: $180 Cost $255 for a $200 credit Doesn't take in account of purchase of devices if needed. I believe taking advantage of the ETF Buyout and the $100 Credit for switching is the better idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djjim Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 I didn't think you could get the $100 port in credit with the ETF payoff. I thought the $100 port in credit was being replaced by ETF payout and device trade in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket87 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 $100 port in ended on 4/3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed4evr Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 The etf buyout did replace the $100 framily port in. The $200 framily switch is a targeted offer that ends on 4/10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djjim Posted April 9, 2014 Author Share Posted April 9, 2014 If she signs up tomorrow is it still valid. Or does she have to sign up today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
