You should be able to do it online.
it will give you a warning that you won't be able to "activate" the phone unless you change the plan. last time i did it (abt 4 months ago) it worked. maybe they changed their policies since? doubt it

looking to sign up for a new line of service on sprint, but as of now i dont need data.

Anyone know if i can get the pre-owned Remarq with a basic plan, but pay the $50 for the posted price rather than getting it for free with my 2 yr contract signing  (or buy one on ebay)  and then, say a year from now, upgrade my plan to include data and use my original phone credit then for a new smartphone.

Sprint says i must use the credit at the time I start the 2 yr contract.
any way around it?

Can you update? Were able to end up ordering at the end?

I'm considering doing the same thing, but I would probably sell it as opposed to give it to a friend/family member.

I'm guessing you've done it and had no problems.

Now I have to figure out which phone is the most profitable.

Is this list up to date? (Are prices still the same?)

I did a little research and while it is by no means conclusive, i think the bottom line is:

Iphone 4 8Gb sells for roughly $400- $100= Profit margin of $300

Iphone 4S 16Gb sells for roughly $500- $200= Profit margin of $300

Iphone 4S 32Gb sells for roughly $650- $300= Profit margin of $350


Iphone 4S 64Gb sells for roughly $700- $400= Profit margin of $300

seems the prices are correct but you have to add in the ebay fees and the upgrade fee of 36$. there is also a high tax when you go to checkout. say the 200 iphone 4s is 270, 36 upgrade and 33 in taxes!

Centro

The centro is way to clunky. I think any other phone would be fine  as far as the clunkyness.

+1, one thing the Centro isn't is clunky.
