If they don't check it during their validation before credit check and their Customer Service claims MVNO are eligible, they would get a month of service fees but create lots of pissed customers who will port out and never return.
Not for me. To each his own.
Also may be pissed off people but sprint doesn't want prepaid people anyway. Could care less if they left. Most of the people using prepaid are going to leave anyway once the year is up. They want the postpaid people. That's where the money is for them.
People will sign up for 2 cc for less than this deal is worth.

I know people who already did this, or really want it to be true, typically retaliate in some way or another to justify their decision, despite knowing the facts. I'm sure once they get their bill they will be in Sprint stores having a fit saying "technically cricket is on a postpaid carrier!" lol. The guy at Sprint is going to curse his company to hell behind the scenes for even letting you sign up on that assumption in the first place, but he will also know you're not fooling anyone with you're "I didn't understand" garbage.
I've been there, I've seen it. I've been threatened, I've been punched. There were days I sided with the customers, and days where I think that the person's just upset they couldn't get away with trying to get one past them.
I hope this works out for all you prepaid folks, but don't hold your breath... That's all I'm sayin'...
To hop from VZ to T-Mobile to Sprint.
It can be done. Here are the steps:
- Existing 60-day VZ customer, financing Pixel/iPhone/etc.
- Open new T-Mobile acct Pixel promo, Port number from VZ to T-Mobile.
- Pay VZ final bill + Pixel finance balance.
- Apply T-Mobile Pixel payoff rebate.
- Start Sprint 1YR free with Pixel IMEI and different number to port-in to Sprint.
- Pay a couple of T-Mobile monthly bills.
- Receive T-Mobile rebate. (~8weeks)
- Cancel T-Mobile acct and number.
- 3 hard credit pulls. (One by Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint)
- In the end, will have 1 Pixel and 1 year of Sprint service!
Anyone brave enough to attempt this?!EDIT: "Get out of the Red" new promo has 60-day Verizon customer requirement. Does the old Pixel payoff have the same 60-day requirement? If yes, then all of this only works for 60-day+ VZ existing customers financing Pixel, iPhones, etc..

I went into my old Ting account -- all 4 phones were listed as inactive but still showing up in the device section. I haven't used Ting in months. I deleted all 4 phones, and now they come up as eligible on the BYOD check on Sprint! So if you were on R+ or Ting, go into your Ting account and delete your phone to get it released.
Now the question is has anyone successfully got an account using a pre-paid phone #? I'd rather not use the MintSim #s because they have many months of service left. My Freedompop #s and google voice #s come up as eligible. Any luck with these for people going all the way through to getting a SIM and activating? Something cheap like an ATT or Tmobile prepaid would be great if it works (FP is a real pain to get port-out info from what I can tell).
Can't trust reps when they tell you soft pull when it's clearly a hard pill and then also tell you things that are against what the terms specify.
Careful all. Read terms and don't get screwed.
Worst part is if you ported in from prepaid already then you won't qualify for the promotion anymore even if you port in postpaid numbers because you will no longer be a new customer.
