What "Any App, Any Device" Really Means
switching phones: how easy is it to do?
quick question...
actually, let me ramble for a bit of explanation first...
(scroll down for the actual question)
i have been with many different wireless carriers in the past (t-mobile, cingular, sprint, verizon, and cricket, to name a few) and from my experience, it is a lot easier to switch handsets if you're on a gsm carrier than it is if you're on a cdma carrier.
what i am familiar with is being able to take the sim card out of my old gsm phone, putting it into my new gsm phone, and having my service automatically transferred to the new phone.

Haha yeah seriously. I don't know what carrier is screwing you over, but I know with VZW it will not reset your upgrade eligibility date based on ESN changes.

Only purchased phone @ discount would reset your upgrade eiligibility date (and restart your contract).
