My contract with tmobile expired long back. Iam with a family plan and recently lost my phone. So i was looking for a new phone. Tmobile says, i can only get an upgrade. Can i get a 'new customer' deal if i drop one of my lines and get a new line activated.
In that case, can i transfer the number from the 'dropped line' to the new line.

you cannot drop one of your lines and activate a new one b/c T-Mobile will see it and says you need to reactivate your canceled line since it's with in 90days of cancelation.
Dealers in Stores maybe able to give your better princeing at an Upgrade.
but you cannot have a new customer's price.

After so many months the pricing you get for an upgrade may match what a new customer pays. I believe its on the end of month 12/24 depending on what contract you have.

My contract isn't even over and they said I qualify for new customer pricing on upgrades so they definitely will give the same deal if the contract is up.

word to the wise.if you see a great deal like "new customer" prices when you already have them as a carrier, it is either too good to be true, or you need to jump on it right away. If you know who you spoke with, then go back to them. Don't call into tmobile and say, "well i can go to verizon and get that same phone for free. what are you going to do to keep me?" the reason they can offer it for free is the same reason tmobile can offer it for free if you didnt have them to begin with, and they will offer you the same prices for upgrades. the first goal is to make a customer. once they lock you into a contract theres no getting out and then it ALL depends on customer service and technical care and service prices. what i dont get is the bargaining mentality with customers. there is a price tag for a reason, and unless you generate about 10,000/year for tmobile you will not recieve a bigger discount unless you get some poor newbie that doesnt know what they are doing.
