I was trying to get on my husband’s special plan from Sprint. We were told by a sprint customer service representative via their web chat that we could do it so we set off to a Sprint store.

"Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules.
