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.
Can I cancel after the first year?
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.

People should stop posting these nonsense, no one really care your experirnce with Sprint, we are all here to get the 1 year free service.
You've repeated yourself multiple times already. Every time someone says Sprint is a sneaky company and what's being advertised as free can end up costing you a pretty penny and a headache, you respond "Shut up. We're getting is because it's free, so who cares?". This response fails to address the person's warning, and is invalid due to the lack of substance and failure to reply to the post being quoted.

received my sim card last night and activated it online. Order was on hold and called Sprint this morning. Spent 19 minutes with credit department and porting department. Most of the time was on-hold. So far everything is good. Ported from T-mobile preapid.

And you shouldn't come at me with accusations.

Actually before you and anyone else sign up check with other users. Because I know mine isn't free and a bunch of other people isn't free. Trust me I know and I'm not going to go into detail about it due to that sprint rep, you and whoever else is on here for whatever company benefit.

And yes he is wrong. And now you're wrong also. Look it up. It's called tethering for a reason and it's not just because of the USB cord. Just cause the terminology gets whored out doesn't mean it's right. Like "hack", etc etc

I'm just trying to warn people on here. But I forgot how people on here roll. They kind of deserve it. There's pages dedicated to the screwjobs people have gotten from sprint. So don't act like I'm the only person on this.
You mean it wasn't free for you in the past. Plans do change, this current deal is not the same one you had in the past. This "unlimited" plan they have now is pretty much industry standard and they have all of the details in the fine print. "Unlimited" data with throttling after 20-ish gigabyte and 10gb of tethering included before throttling is pretty much what everyone else is doing including T-Mobile and AT&T (not sure who came first here with this plan but I'm guessing Sprint is just copying T-Mobile again).

No I'm not wrong because a hot spot is what people calls a device that creates a wireless signal to tether off of. You do realize that's a term even the industry giants are using right? Android devices still uses the term tethering in their settings but Apple iOS straight up calls it Mobile Hotspot. Every major carrier is referring to it as hot spot.

And there has been pages dedicated to screwjobs from all the carriers, not Sprint alone. The biggest complaint against Sprint isn't about their customer service but rather about speed. Their 3G/LTE rollout has been lacking compared to everyone else so people who were paying hundreds to get under a megabit of course were going to complain (rightfully so).

That is possible only if she opens two accounts, that is hers and her husband/daughter. For one account with 3 lines, only $150 ($50x3) and you get $300 (unless you are already maxed out at $500).

If she has credit union, can get another $50 per line for port in.
Thanks for answering my question. As for credit union, can it be any credit union??? I checked it out, and it said "Sprint's Best Credit Union member."

I get this message: "We're sorry, we're unable to confirm your credit online." But I have one sim in the transit. Hopefully, I can add more line to that. Is the message a sign of deal being dead now?
Call the 800 number on the top of the page. They'll have to process it over the phone

How long does it take for google voice to complete the port out?
It took about 20 minutes for mine to port out. My google voice number that is. The cs rep told me like 24-48 hours but a manager called me back right away and asked if they could activate right away.

Wow! For me, on google voice it says the port out was approved, yet Sprint still hasn't done its' part to get the number. I hope the finish by today. What did you do you once they said it is good to go? Just insert the sim card into the phone?

Is it the cheapest solution to get his offer is a $3 SIM card from Pure Talk and an unlocked Moto G4 Play from Moto?

Just bought a Galaxy S8 Unlocked version from Best Buy.

Says eligible.

So Galaxy S8 Special Edition means Unlocked Edition.

Other people hear says the AT&T or Verizon Galaxy S8 might not work.
Which sim did you use? Sprint website says you need isim for "open market" s8, not the typical one. Is that true?

Well this thread is about getting 1 year of free service, if you have any reservation, you can move on and skip the thread right?

I have been with evey single wireless services in the last 3 years to take advantage of deals phone and service Tmobile, Sprint, Cricket, Ringplus Att, Tello, Mintsim , Verizon, every good deal there always a brunch of people say xxx company has the worst service in the world avoid it if even it is free but I sign up for all of these deals save me thousand of dollars and yet to see a single company as terrible as anyone described. I switched phone company every few months and never got overcharge or bill.

I am not rep of company I cant reponse to any if those people concern but like I said if you have any reservations you can skip the thread, if you search the internet you will find 1thousands of teerrible stories if any companies, so are you going to based your decision on that?

From my experience i never got over bill by any major companies so i have zero concerns

I am pretty sure you can find thousand of people who slack off of the payment or do Manufacture spending and got the Membership reward point account freeze say Amex isthe worst company in the world, Do you think Amex is the worst company in the world ??

I decided to jump in on this, and I have to say, the entire process was quick and easy. iPhone 6s formerly with RingPlus which had been moved to Mint. Ordered the SIM Tuesday night, got it via UPS Thursday, activated this morning and it took about 10 minutes for everything to port. Seamless. 35 down, 5 up in eastern Twin Cities area. I'm going to move my kids over, too.

I wish I could get my Wife and Daughter to settle for the Moto G4 or G5 (Even the Plus versions).

Wife would want S7 Edge, daughter iPhone 6 or better. I pay $950 per year (tax included) for 3 lines in a 5 line Tmo plan. I have a Moto X Pure, but by the time I buy the required devices for this promo for the other two lines I would break even or spend more than I saved.

So I have a Tmobile S8 that's been unlocked & flashed w/ unlocked firmware. So technically it should work w/ Sprint now though there's no way to get it added to their IMEI whitelist.

So, could I buy a Moto G4, activate through that, then just stick the sim card in my S8? Or will Sprint still block the phone?
