Activating new phone online? - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I couldn't activate my phone earlier online so I had to call Sprint. Online, the system wanted to force me to change plans. Now, I am trying to activate my wife's phone and Sprint customer care is closed for the evening. I am having the same problem trying to activate her phone online.
Has anyone else experienced this and gotten around it?

I got the same thing, had to do it over webchat. took about 10 minutes.

Thanks guys. I had to wait either way. I now have both myself and my wife up and running with root. So much to play with.

just call sprint
they did it without me even giving them any info

I went through this twice in the past two days. After speaking with Sprint reps, they assured me that the reason was that I got my EVO 4G back when the "premium data" charge was only for WiMAX devices, and now the premium data charge applies to all smartphones. If you select the plan identical to the one you already have, nothing on your account changes.
Me said:
So I'm sure you saw my query description. I'm just curious why activating the new EVO requires changing the plan. The 450 minute plan, other than being worded differently, seems identical to the plan I currently have.

I understand that you wish to activate a phone.
Let me check.
I understand that you are getting the error to change the plan while activating it online, it is only because the plan code differs, it does not mean that your plan will change.

The next day, when I wanted to switch back to my EVO 4G (because, until I'm fully rooted [i.e. S-OFF] and LTE is available, I still occasionally want WiMAX and I'll be switching between them), I had this conversation:

After S-Off it connects to sprint when you make a call

After I successfully got s off on my phone and my wife's phone, when I first make a call it connects to sprint to activate the radio. My question is am I gonna have to do this every single time I flash a new rom or no? Just curious is all.
I doubt it, it probably has to do with cracking the bootloader. That's probably where the exploit was.
I have s off and root. No problems so far with tibacup, texts or calls. And I've yet to be connected to sprint pre call

Same here rooted and can receive/make calls/text without needing to contact sprint.
Your handset prolly failed the handsfree activation after you unlocked it so it dialed sprint for activation
It's Sprints new enhanced security. The rep on the phone told me it could be activated by a few things including hands free activation the phone battery getting low going out of service area. I didn't tell her I rooted of course.

If you are getting error 16, wait a long time and speak with representative, have them reset the service thingy. It worked for me after not being able to call.

S-OFF means you can install Superuser. Superuser lets root apps know you have root and they can send superuser commands to your phone.
Same here, calls didnt work - error 16 message. Connected to a sprint rep automatically and she asked if I changed anything on my phone recently, all I said was nope. Asked her why this happened, she said new security enhancements. She pushed a "fix" and said to power off power on and I should be good. Did that, S-OFF still there.... I am Golden.

Mobile Hotspot issue fix on the way!!

Fellow Rezound users!
After many phone 1 hour+ calls, exchanging phones, sim cards, drives to VZW stores and waiting. HTC finally seemed to take a look at the problem and confirmed it to be a software issue regarding the mobile hotspot. Got a call from an HTC rep yesterday and said they are fixing the issue. However, there is no lead time on how long we'll have to wait for the update. Good/bad news, take it however you want it. Just letting everyone know that a fix is coming hopefully soon.
Now if we can get them to send us a free charger or something since we're paying for a service that's not performing as it should...

They are talking about the verizon official hotspot which I don't pay for. I have hotspot on my 5th line (to get the unlimited data on that line), so I'm using my bolt for hotspot.
Some users are reporting poor performance on the hotspot (youtube buffering severely), that doesn't happen when using temp root and wifi tether.

I'm with you, and I thank you! Squeaky wheel gets to oil. If all we do is complain on a forum, nothing will get done. So I even told them I am calling back next week to get an update on the OTA. If they don't have a date, I may press to get a $30 refund for a useless service I paid for.

Family Plans will be forced to use new data share plans?

Before everyone flips out on me... give me a second. So I told my dad he was going to lose his unlimited data if he didn't upgrade his phone by today. Which of course he ends up waiting until today to do. Come to find out that he had to upgrade before today in order to keep his unlimited data. We are on a family share plan and only me and my dad have unlimited data, but my brother and sister, who are also on it, have the 2GB data cap.
So I told him to try to transfer his upgrade to one of them and get the subsidized price and just upgrade it on his line. So he tries to pre-order the SGSIII on my brother's line and this pops up.
"The existing plan Nationwide Account Level Talk & Text Family Share 2000, is not compatible with the new device." So it either chooses new individual plan or new share voice and data plan.
What's confusing though is that under smartphone data packages, it doesn't have the new family data plan pricing. It still has 2 GB for $30, 5GB for $50, and 10GB for $80 and under plan shares summary on the left side where the totals are, it does say "Nationwide Account Level Talk & Text Family Share 2000". So I'm confused as F*CK right now and I want my dad to keep his unlimited for at least another 2 years, but I also don't want to lose mine and get screwed over with this new family data share plan. Not to mention that fact that I'm not sure whether they are actually forcing us into this new data share plan or not.
Thoughts? Can anyone who has a family plan with an upgrade vouch?
There is no more grandfathering it on on subsidized phones. You have to purchase the phone out right to keep unlimited now. No upgrading from 3G to 4G and keeping unlimited either I believe.
Put him on an individual account and then merge the two later on. The account change probably wouldnt happen til you activated the phone on your brothers account any ways...They effed up my rezound upgrade/account and that happened. Easy fix :3
Edit: that may not work due to their crap share accounts...

Also, I would like to add that if the family data share plans aren't forced there should be no reason why an unlimited data line couldn't transfer their upgrade to a 2 GB plan. Have that person upgrade and upgrade the line on the unlimited person's line. Herego unlimited data being kept with an unsubsidized Price.

So you decided to go for it too.
I pre-ordered mine back when we where talking on the mik.
I don't even really want the thing, I absolutely LOVE my rezounds but I figured I might as well grab the last subsidized phone available.
Op simple fix. If it isn't broken don't fix it! People really need to stop buying new phones. If you have unlimited, on any plan/network/phone please don't upgrade.
And I also agree with the screen being way to big and hassle.
Not to be off point here...

Verizon no longer allowing out-of-contract phone purchases?

I apologize if this is in the wrong forum.
I called Verizon to purchase a new phone out-of-contract. The sales rep told me that Verizon no longer allows out-of-contract purchases, their only option is month-to-month. She confirmed that this would take away my unlimited data.
I'm not sure if she's right so I'm asking folks here. Is this true, does Verizon no longer allow you to buy their phones without giving up unlimited data?
You can still buy phones full retail, but you do need to have service with Verizon - perhaps the rep thought out-of-contract meant you didn't have service anymore.

It is but they shouldnt remove your unlimited data. Month to month is when your contract is up and you are eligible for an upgrade. I have heard a few rumors they are getting rid of unlimited next year and its final but they can't force you to upgrade.

In theory you should be able to pop your sim card out of your old 4G phone and put it in a new, off-contract phone and have it work without issue. Maybe since you're trying to buy it through Verizon, they're pushing their shared data crap.

Not 100% certain, but I believe that would cause issues if the phone needed to switch to the 3G CDMA network.
