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.

Hi! I have ten specific questions that only pertain to my individual circumstances. I epitomize laziness and my sense of entitlement is impervious to reason. Therefore it is the responsibility of anyone and everyone who reads this to find the answers to my questions.

Am I understanding correctly that this is free for one year? My GF has one line on T-Mobile paying $60+ per month. This seems like no brainer
Yes if she has the device in the list.

Oh man... Legere isn't going to be happy about this. Someone tweets him this promo!
Legere wouldn't react on this seriously. They started Metro to come after Sprint and focused on taking down AT&T and Verizon. They're not on the same level anymore. They don't have to drive down their prices. They have enough hold on their current postpaid customers (where the real money is at) to lure them away in chance of getting free service for a year.

A lot of customers now has 2 free lines added on their account for life, Bill credits on Pixel and such & BOGO EIP attached to their accounts that will all be due once they decide to check Sprint out. If VZW or AT&T did this, they for sure will. But it's Sprint. Current consensus is they're worse of the 4, so most would shrug it off unless they're extremely frugal. Prepaid users will be the ones taking this offer and they make coins per person on that compared to postpaid.

I have 2 lines on AT&T currently paying $160 a month for unlimited. Costs $125 to cancel my contract, phones are paid for.

Have been considering switching to T-Mobile for $100 a month and they pay the $125.

Any reason to skip this deal?
Sprint and T-Mobile are different from AT&T and Verizon Wireless.

Is this so they can somehow screw you? Tempting if they didn't eff up my credit after 15 years with them. They did not put international on when they said I had it. $515 for a short out of the country trip. Fought it hard, no luck.
What the hell are you doing dude; we are no longer serfs and they are no longer lords take them to court and get your money and then some back!

Yeah it is a no brainer; my guess is taxes/fees will amount to ~$10/mth

Glad FatSmurf was able to pass the eligibility from MintSim, however my Pixel on mint isn't getting through.

I really hope I can get into this, because TMobile network has been pretty bad for me since I left Tello (Sprint's Network) about a month ago. Google Hangouts calls getting dropped even though my entire city shows I should have excellent coverage everywhere. Never happened on Sprint's. Somehow Tmobile's 3g gets much higher speeds than the 4g and is much more stable. People shit on Sprint's network, but it's only treated me well *shrug*

I'm a little confused. I entered my iPhone 7 IMEI and
my Google Voice number. I also tried my iPhone SE
and a second Google Voice number. Both combinations
passed the Sprint website and came up as qualified.

If I order the SIMs and then activate them, will I still
get the free 1 year of service?

For anyone who has successfully switched to Sprint for this promo, could you please enlighten us as to the next steps after verifying your credit?

I haven't pulled the trigger yet due to the hard pull, and would like to know if others have been successful in actually switching over to Sprint for this promo.

I hope ATT or verizon come up with something on similar lines.
I guess, it would be a great deal for existing sprint customers as they can switch from a horrible service provider.

I would never go back to Sprint though.
