I was wondering if you guys are familiar with signing up for a cell phone contract through either Wirefly/Newegg/Amazon. I was reading the terms and conditions and noticed this statement.

"Transfer this equipment to another line of service"

Would it be a violation of their contract if

1. I sell the free phone I received.
2. I use the new SIM card (with my new contract) with an old phone I have lying around

And if it is a violation of the contract, is it actually enforced? Personally I view this condition rather, for the lack of a better word, retarded.

Does anyone have experience with this?

SigX said:Is the statement in the 'things that aren't allowed' or the 'things you wished were allowed but aren't' section of the contract? You aren't providing much context in the small snippet provided, so yeah go ahead and do it, it's completely legal.

That's actually all it said

Here's a copy and paste from their website

Wirefly promises you savings in the form of instant discounts with no rebates or gimmicks when you sign up for wireless carrier service. Delivering on this promise means that you must agree to maintain your agreement for a minimum of 6 months after activation. Deactivating your phone, or downgrading features or the rate plan, may lead to additional charges.

When you sign up for wireless carrier service through Wirefly, we discount your phone purchase price by an Equipment Discount amount ranging from $200 to $300. By ordering through Wirefly, you agree to repay this discount if, during the 181 days after your new equipment is activated, if you:

* Fail to pay your balance due to your carrier each month
* Disconnect this line of service
* Transfer this equipment to another line of service
* Change your carrier service rate plan to a lower monthly service rate plan
* Deactivate the email/data feature if one was required at the point of purchase
* Transfer/port an existing phone number from another account if this is a new line of service
* Replace an existing account with this account if this is a new line of service
* Return or exchange your phone and it is not in its original, new condition with no more than 30 minutes of usage

If you break any of these contract provisions, except as a result of a documented service quality issue related to the carrier service, you authorize us to charge your credit card in repayment of the Equipment Discount.
