What's the best plan to sign up for a Treo 600?
I ordered from Amazon, so I have to activate with Sprint to get my rebates.
I ordered 300 minutes plus Free and Clear America - isn't that the best way to take advantage of Verizon's coverage in outlying areas?
And I ordered Vision Professional package.
I don't understand why a couple of those items were more expensively priced that what I've seen discussed in these forums.
I also was going to do one year rather than two year contract. Do you think that's a good move?
Now, a question as far as phone number. When I bought a T-Mobile phone last year in Atlanta (n. Georgia) they had no problem giving me an Atlanta number ev...

Any idea if Treo data (i.e, checking e-mail, web surfing) will work on Verizon's data network if I pay for Free and Clear America, and if so, does it come out of Vision minutes or F&CA minutes?
Boy, I'm scared.
The folks at the Sprint Store in Atlanta said they might be able to port a Boston # to Georgia, but that there was no way an 800-number rep would be able to do it.
Thing is, I suspect nobody at a Sprint store is going to bend over backward to do any favors activating the phone for me - since I opted to buy from Amazon.
I called to check this morning. Port is supposed to be at 2 pm tomorrow. But they said there was a code 7a request for information from Verizon. Don't know what that is.
Where I'm porting -from- is top 100 market.
Where I'm portin -to- is not - at least the way we did it last night. He only has my billing address in GA, not a separate "coverage address"
The CSR found an old sprint account I had years ago, and set it up as a renewal.
Man, I hope this works. I'm actually kind of excited about being back with Sprint, if they can pull this off.

associate(s) there must be smoking crack or something. They can port your number in to Sprint's system, but the number will remain a Boston #. An 800 rep CAN do this. You can also do it online if i am not mistaken. They really are smoking something!!! Unfortunately, depending on the rep, they may or may not bend over backwards. They of course, work on commission. GODD LUCK!!!! π

Let me rephrase> An 800 rep CAN PORT your number into Sprint.
sorry for any confusion...
I don't think I typed what I meant very clearly.
Hell, I don't care if it remains "a Boston number." Fine by me - just as long as it gets moved to Sprint! All my clients are around the country - I could give a rat's #$# whether it's a local number.
I was just worried about Sprint denying the port because my Verizon billing address for the Boston number is now in GA.
So, if I call 800 number and say:
1. Hi - I'd like to activate my phone!
2. I'd like to port my Verizon wireless # 617-xxx-xxxx
3. My billing address is "blah, blah, blah, Georgia."
They're not gonna freak on me?
From what the other guy said, I could offer them...

In fact, I was very fortunate in that it even came through as a Boston plan rather than a GA one - a non-affiliate plan and therefore better FC&A terms. It really couldn't have worked out any better.
Your suggestion was a good one, though.
The good news was that my Boston number was already set up with the GA billing address - which may explain why there wasn't a problem.
I appreciate your follow-up very much, though!
