Guess they are finally valuing their service quality at zero dollars!! Having unfortunate experience of being a sprint customer, I wholeheartedly concur with the valuation of their service.

I was a Sprint customer for 6 years and left to go with Tmo prepaid for $30 deal. My phone at the time a gnex with hspa+ had faster speeds than my wife's S3 with LTE. Her speeds kept getting worse and worse. I will never go back to Sprint again, but this is a really good deal.

Is there a credit check involved with this madness?
Yes, there is. Sadly, makes it a no go for myself.

From Spring website:
You're qualified to switch to Sprint and get free unlimited service! To set up your account, we still need to run your credit - a policy for all our customers.

Here's the "fee" breakdown, so not quite free, but almost...
To take advantage of these great savings and have your phone work on the Sprint network, we'll send you a Sprint SIM card for each eligible phone.

Your next steps:

You'll set up your account and pay $2.99 per SIM card, plus taxes and $10 for overnight shipping
You'll also agree to automatically pay monthly taxes and fees (including a $1.99/mo./line admin fee)
On your bill, you will see a plan charge of $5/mo. and a -$5/mo. credit for AutoPay
We'll send the SIM(s), tell you how to activate it, and switch your number to Sprint
Activate your SIM and get 1 year FREE Unlimited talk, text and data on the Sprint Unlimited – Bring Your Own Phone plan

Quote from merkurfan :
sprint is cdma. if it's not a prior sprint phone they won't work.
That only applies to 3G phones, and Verizon uses CDMA as well.
Sprint supports both 4G standards, FD-LTE and TD-LTE, so most 4G phones should work.
This a good deal, Spring, here I come.
