| I was looking at this...
I wasn't able to get either of the following to work:
- Porting of my existing numbers
- Choice of family plan when purchasing 2 phones
Is there any way to do this, or is this not possible with Amazon?

I did both of these when I first signed up with t-mobile year and a half
ago. The tricks are:
1. You buy two phones with individual service plan each (and if you want
them to go as single order, choose different plans - amazon.com's
specific limitation is that you can only have one of the same phone+plan
package in shopping cart at a time).
2. The phone(s) will come activated with some random phone numbers (mine
even came with New Jersey area codes, even though I live in New York).
When you get your phones, call t-mobile and ask them to convert these to
family plan and port your numbers. You will end up paying a pro-rated
bill for the individual plans, which, if you convert immediately is a few
dollars, but your first month of family plan will also be pro-rated, so
it will be a little less... And of course porting is free ;-/
The only thing... I just posted this in another thread I replied to... I
don't see a free RAZR on amazon site. It says $199.99, or I'm looking at
some wrong listing...

| It says $199.99 and then they send you a $200 Amazon Credit to use on
future purchases.
