I succeeded with Telesales (sounded like it was the call center in the Philippines). I even got them to agree to free PAM (tethering) and so note my files, since I already had free PAM with my Treo 650 (all 650s get this since they only support the slower Vision speed).

That of course was great talk and got me to agree to a 2 year contract vs. going to ATT for an iPhone or Verizon and a Crackberry.

And, as I suspected, when the Pre arrived, it could not be activated on my old Free and Clear plan + upgrade fee, and once I switched to one of the Everything plans, of course, PAM was absolutely 100% not allowed (even if I wanted to pay).

So, NOT.

Only remaining question: do I return the phone within the 30 days and cancel the new 2 year contract or do I keep the Pre or do I switch to an older PalmOS phone that supports tethering? I use tethering so infrequently that Sprint would make a ton of money by selling me PAM.
