I fought with sprint when I tried to get a new phone for my wife on the
second line of my account. I've had ebay purchased phones since day
one on that line and no amount of argueing with sprint could convince them
to honor the discount. They kept saying that I could get a new phone
on line #1 (didn't need it) or I could get a discounted third phone (didn't
want one).

Fuck them. It just isn't worth the hassle. When my current contract
runs out, I'm taking my business elsewhere. They'll give me two new phones
and won't care if one of my old phones has been in use for less than 18
months.
