What is Sprint policy for adding a 6th line on a family plan?

In 99% of all cases, it can't be done. There are only two ways it can happen.
I have seen in extremely rare instances where they will allow a 6th line on a family plan. To do this you have to have been a customer for an extremely long period of time with no history of unpaid disconnects. If you haven't been a customer for more than 8 years, don't even bother trying. Even then, you'll be on the phone for hours trying to find someone to do this (generally the only department that can do that is retention). And for all I know they may have shut off this loophole. Also, it generally means that you'll never be able to have your account serviced in a Best Buy, Radio Shack, or other authorized retailer. It's Sprint corporate or nothing.
The other route would be to convert your account to a business account. There are a lot of different ways this can be done so I would recommend just going going into a store and going over it with them in person. You can set it up under a business Tax ID, your Social Security Number, or a hybrid of both. You might even qualify for some discounts. Then you would have access to the business plans which apply to plans of 6 or more lines. And to be realistic, the conversion is a pain in the ass. If you're a new customer and they can work it out to be a business account, then this is the best option.
