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.

Has anyone ported over an iPad line to this Sprint? For example, putting your iPad SIM in an iPhone and then porting it over? Just wondering.
I put in 2 different iPad T-mobile numbers and it says both are eligible. So I guess it'll work?

I first try to sign up thru the website, got "unable to verify credit" message. So I bought SIM card from Best Buy for $5, called (866) 782-8777, got a nice Philippino rep on the line. I ask about deal and she asked what carrier I'm porting from and I said "the AT&T network of Cricket Wireless." She said that's fine.

I had my Cricket account and PIN numbers ready, so the whole process, including credit check with another rep, took about 40 minutes and my iPhone 6s Plus works immediately. The rep also waived the activation fee, gave me my Sprint account number and let me setup an account PIN as well. I also have another phone handy so the rep can talk to me while I had to turn off my phone in order to switch to the Sprint SIM.

I'm in Southern California: downloads in Riverside County, Orange County and high desert (Victorville, Hesperia) varied between 3 and 8 Mbps, uploads betweeen 1 and 3 Mbps. Speeds are not as consistent as Cricket and I experienced more dead spots as well; signal inside buildings is also worse than Cricket (and worse than T-Mobile, was inside movie theater with wife and her T-Mo MVNO phone has full LTE signal and loads web pages fast while my Sprint iPhone shows 3G and can't load a single page).

Thanks to the original op for the deal post and to all posters for the valuable comments: get SIM from Best Buy, call phone when online portal doesn't work, successful port from MVNOs such as Cricket, etc.

I desperately want to get 2 of these lines for my kids. Could I order 2 of the Moto G Play's https://www.amazon.com/Moto-Play-4th-gen-Lockscreen/dp/B01KBH547A/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1498056055&... [amazon.com] and have them work? I'd first need to activate them so I have a number to port, thought about using the ATT GoPhone sim and just buying a $2 single day plan (or by the minute). Any other thoughts or reasonable options to get them activated and a number on them so I can port?

Also considered buying the $25 ATT GoPhone and a $2 single day plan at Walmart just to get them lines established so I can quickly be ready to port back out.

I walked into Best Buy, head straight to Mobile department, and simply ask to buy a Sprint SIM; rep asked what phone I have and I said iPhone 6S Plus; took about 5 minutes and cost $5.42 instead of waiting for few days for Sprint to ship at a cost of $14.

The SIM I got is a SPRINT iPhone specific SIM part number SIMGLW436C, which is apparently the same SIM you can get for free from the Apple Store. I don't think you can order this online from Best Buy and I'm not sure what the Best Buy product number is. The rep just got the SIM from a cabinet, it's not displayed on a rack for sale.

I have T-Mobiles $30.00 Walmart plan which is 5GB LTE 100 minutes/text and it gets better everything. Speeds usually 10/4 which is more than fine with me. And there is always signal wherever I go.

I am in a mall in Portland OR and 3 bars 2g cannot load a website. I am glad I manage to get an different account to transfer instead of my T-Mobile number. They're just charging taxes and fees so we shouldn't complain but their CEO said they're doing this hoping we stay. With the service I am getting I might just cancel soon so glad I didn't port my $30 T-Mobile deal number
