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.

Quote from nyc67 :
Has anyone figured out the approximate fees/surcharges/taxes per month that will need to be paid? And is it the same cost per line or are some of the fees per account?

Just trying to get a ballpark amount -- will it be $3/line, $5/line, $10/line or more in just these fees?

Basically, how much will the out of pocket $ really be?
Via chat, I was told to my understanding that you will have the $1.99 monthly fee + all the regulatory taxes (varies by state) + tax for what would be the regular plan price ($60/$40/etc). Imagine a quoted plan at regular price - the $60/$40/etc plan fee.

Probably they are trying to get as much as lines with them for the merger deal with T-Mobile.

I'm wondering the same thing and I have gone through the last 40+ pages. Frown

I tried any combination of iPhone 7, Galaxy S7 and all 3 of my Google Voice numbers. The Sprint website showed them all as eligible.

I get the feeling that when the SIM card arrives, it won't let me fully activate and/or apply the free 1-year because of the inability to port from an actual Verizon number.

Does this mean you can only bring an iPhone 7 Plus if you're on Verizon? Because that sucks.. I have an unlocked one from Verizon but I'm using it on a T-Mobile prepaid plan. Not sure if I'm ineligible because I'm not on Verizon or if I'm on prepaid.

Unlocked T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge comes up as ineligible. Anybody had any luck?

My old Verizon iPhone 5s is eligible. I don't feel like using an old phone though...
Sprint uses an online swap phone feature for customers and you can swap at any time. i used to use this to swap phones i wanted to unlock, cuz only Sprint Account Services are able to unlock devices, then after it was unlock, i would swap back my regular phone, then sell the unlocked phone.

Did you figure out if unlocked Boost iPhone SE work with this deal after ESN clearing service?

Quote from nextAaron :
To those whose unlocked Boost phone work:
@celeriti

Have you used ESN cleaning service?

My Boost iPhone SE was unlocked and is used on T-Mobile. But it can't go through Sprint check. Wonder if the ESN cleaning will help.

Total phone noob here. I already have a Verizon family plan but I recently moved so I would like a new number. Can I buy a BYOD sim at the store for a month of service and then port over to Sprint? I have an unlocked 6S that passed the compatibility list on Sprints website.

Does anyone know if I can use my wife's iphone IMEI, then buy a pixel and use the sim in that pixel instead? Or will it only activate on the IMEI you gave initially?
