I'd cancel it since within 24 hours, and call up, list them the flight numbers of the 2 flights you want to book as 1 ticket.

phone rep says they can't add a segment to an existing flight (within 24 hrs to departure), would need to book new res. online it seems to allow it, but shows less availability than when searching straight for OW.
DROPR? web support?

if that flight is no longer available, will it 'redeposit'? or do i run the risk of losing it?

from the website it's seeming like the $75 close-in award fee is charged once on the RT. (or once on each OW booked separately)
I searched for a pair of flights which I only found separately. so now I have them booked at $75 each.

Is there a way I can merge the 2 itineraries, and get back the 2nd fee?

(or -i'm still in the 24 hour window- some way to force the system to find the 2nd segment as a'change' to the 1st itinerary)?

the hike the world is unreal - i sent a massive box which would have cost 200 for 10:30 delivery at $15 and any express under 4lbs at $5 --- how is this guy doing it??? Is this kosher? Also someone said they did a reverse google search and the pics from a obituary - a reverse search pulled nothing for me

I have been paying the modem fee for years even though I have a DOCSIS 3.0 modem of my own sitting unused. I never connected it because their website only listed a few specific compatible models. I just saw your posts now. Can this still be done? Did you return the borrowed one or get charged a fee?

I did not and was not?
Should still be able to

Hard to imagine that your tax rate on the gains is so high

no, but the funds are also earning apy, so if they're earning close to 4%, plus whatever tax ramifications, might be worth borrowing

Don't think so if SD forums are correct. I added a 2nd line (had a spare phone lying around) and got a "temporary" phone number, ported out the number from the 1st line which closed the line, then called 2 days later and ported the number back in on the 2nd line. A hassle, but for $0/month ($3.40 with taxes) it's worth it. Better than RingPlus ever was.

though with the limitations on 'eligible' phones I'd imagine that, if I don't have another 'eligible' laying around: swap line 1 phone to another sprint compatible phone, open line 2 with now-released phone, then proceed as above

The 1 year free BYOD plan is still available for sign up. Port out to a different carrier for a day, sign up with Sprint BYOD under DW's SSN, port back in.

https://sprint.com/1yearfree

necessary? can't do same 'person' as previous year?
