$25 Down
$5/M for 18 Months

Ok so the update,
I picked up the phone at the Sprint Store, came back to my house and called CS, they then transferred me to account services. Told them i wanted to get the total to end the lease now and own the phone. Total was $130.64 after tax.
So I paid $157.20 total with tax for the device, tomorrow i will call and cancel the new line and i own the phone outright.

It'll be a long time 'til then, but don't forget!
The phone will NOT auto unlock on the 50th or the 51st day or any day after those days.
You MUST call Sprint customer service and request an unlock. You'll get it a couple of days later. Make sure you get a confirmation # when you make the unlock request.

The rep said it was now free to go to any sprint line.
I called telesales to try to bring it to BYOD. The guy there seemed to think that I could not because it was still associated with the paid line. I am planning to stay on BYOD for more than 50 days, so unlocking is not my problem for now, but I am having trouble getting on to BYOD.
Wondering which of the following is most likely to work.
1- Swap in another phone on the paid plan to free up the Essential
2- Cancel the paid line (my fear is that I won't be able to get it on to the BYOD line, and without it being unlocked, I am basically stuck with a brick. Honestly, even with it unlocked, I really want to get on the free BYOD plan, so that's the end game here).
3- Start up the BYOD plan with another phone, and then try to swap the essential in for that phone
4- Start up the BYOD plan with another phone and then try to add the essential in as a new line.
Any thoughts, macrokelvin or anyone else who has accomplished this or something like it?
Thanks!
Can i pay off the lease without activating the phone? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

That did not happen in previous swaps. And Ting + sprint BYOD checkers are all clear. Given this change, don't want to "chat" swap this time??? Wasn't expecting to have to move this walmart non carrier phone through TMO-pp or TW to "clean" it when I did not have to do such before. . .
Anybody experience this?
Thanks. It has been hard to keep up with this thread for so long- especially with all of the discussions about other issues like the camera- so I missed your posts on that suggestion.
Should I be concerned that the Ting checker is showing the phone as FED ineligible?
And should I get the unlock code before I take the phone off the account, or does it not matter since I am taking it to Sprint anyway?
Thanks again.
