I have NEVER been charged for activation of a new phone on an existing
plan. They haven't even restarted my contract date (thank goodness!).

They do, unfortunately, restart the countdown on the phone rebate -- but
that rarely comes into play for me. I generally get
Sprint/Nextel-compatible phones for less via Amazon or eBay.

And as a San Diegan, it's hard for me to be down on CDMA. 8-)
