Default Cancelling a Smartchoice plan

Hello,

My wife and I are a year into a two year contract with two Blackberries. We love the phones and plan but, due to mounting bills from some serious health problems that I've acquired, we can't afford them anymore.

I have to cancel my plan and pay the ETF. I don't have a problem having to pay the ETF - I made the bill, I'll pay it. But I can't pay the ETF all at once, and will be paying on it for several months.

I want to be able to sell our Blackberries to help pay the ETF, but I know the ESN's may not be clear if the ETF's aren't paid yet.

I happen to have two older Motorola Q's laying around. If I swap the Q's onto our account, then cancel, will this free up our Blackberries so that I can sell them to help us pay the ETF's off?

I suppose I could just sell the Q's, but the extra hundred bucks the BB's will bring would really help.

Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I agree, removing the bbs from your account unrelates the esn #s.

It will give only the Motorola Qs bad esns.

They can't tarnish the esns of the BBs once off account,

Tell them the truth that you have health problems and might just let you out. Worth a shot!
