I don't recall seeing your refutation last week. However, I assure you that
it is true. I had reception problems at my client in July or August of 2006
and thought maybe a new phone would help ... hell, I won't retell the story
here again, it is archived you care to look. In any event, I got stuck with
ESN swap issues resetting the rebate. Yes, it is true. Further, my Daughter
had an insurance replacement on her phone and I was told that she wouldn't be
given the rebate until 2 years hence [I believe they offered $50 or $75 after
one year].

You claim that you have switched many times is unique to be sure. I am not
entirely sure I believe it, but I guess I have no real reason to think that
Sprint's systems aren't consistant from locale to locale. In any event, it
is/was fact and was widely reported in teh past that the discount is triggered
off of the duration since the last ESN swap. I leave it to those doubtful of
this to google the archives. Is isn't an isolated issue.
