I am currently off-contract with t-mobile. I see lots of great deals on blackberrys on amazon and newegg and stuff. is it possible to sign up for new service, and then cancel my old account? Could I still use my old number somehow?
you can't get those deals if you want to stay with t-mobile. the are new customer deals.
Actually he can. if you want to stay with t mobile here's what you have to do. you port your number to another carrier, and close your account with t mobile. now within your trial period, have it ported back to t mobile as a new customer. make sure you port back to t mobile and close your other account before the buyer's remorse period is up.

that wouldnt work porting out of t-mobile will be considered cancelling, problem of creating a new account then would be, cause u cancelled they'll see u cancelled and they 'll just reactivate ur old account again. and just tell u to upgrade ur phone.u would have to wait 90 days to create a new account if u do that.

No you don't. You can create a new account, you have 90 days if you want to resume, but you don't have to wait the 90 days.

if u create a new account before u cancel or port out thats possible but, its not an option if u want to resume if u try to create a new account after u cancel ur old account, t-mobile wants to avoid churning so when u try to run credit again ur social # will pop up saying u had an old account thats less than 90 days and will be forced to resume ur old account

They can't force him to do anything. that's illegal. they can suggest it, but that's all. if t mobile is practicing this i smell a class action lawsuit brewing.
