I've used Sprint's policy to allow a subscriber to provide his own compatible phone from anywhere, and bought used phones off ebay. Just phone in the the new hardware's ID number and it's the one on the plan within about 1/2 hour on the national net. Sprint has no limit on such changes per day or whatever. My substitutions have always been in "my plan" even when different brands of hardware. Mike might be able to get aphone from wherever and just activate it. Chuck
