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.

Search my posts, I wrote a brunch of posts on porting from ATT prepaid sim, just have no time to find it for you now.
You have 50+ pages of posts and all I can see is your reponses, mostly one liners.

Anyway, does someone know, if I quickly get an established GoPhone account on a new Moto G4 Play, how quickly can I port back out? I don't want to buy the phones and service and then be told the account has to be active for at least X days before you can leave. I'm ready to order the phones overnight and can grab the sims at Walmart

Wasted two day reading the threads and 3 hours on the phone with Sprint over credit check issue. Guess we ( wife and I ) were all out of luck in passing the online check and then failed the phone check by Sprint credit dept. We both have around 800 Fico scores. I don't understand Sprint credit check system. Looks like there are flaws in their system or they just don't want so many people using their promotion? I was told to wait 60 days before I could apply again. WTF. What I can do at this stage? Go to sore ? call again? Anyone have some insight please!!!!! Thanks in advance.

Should I try online again or go to the store or what else? Very frustrated here.
I have 800 credit and also had to do credit check and go to store with 2 ID to verify identity. The phone credit check questions were pretty simple. Not sure how you can fail them. I think you should call them again and say their credit check questions were incorrect and just say you answered them to the best of your knowledge.

So you successfully ported a FP (freedompop) SIM line for this Sprint deal? How long did the port take? Also, was there any issues...Did you tell them "freedompop" is where you are porting your number from or did you tell them AT&T (for LTE sim) or TMO (for Global sim)?

I'm considering porting one of my FP lines for this deal.

Yes I ported from FP the free service plan. They asked me if it was pre or post paid. I said post. There was no issue when I said it's coming from freedompop

new to this, but wanted to share a few things I learned if they can be helpful to others. My experience is entirely in Manhattan so far:
1 - ordered sim online after the 2PM ET cutoff for overnight on a Thursday, on Friday morning I called in they said my order was "stuck" because they had so many orders -- they pushed it through manually whatever that means, and I had the SIM monday (no Saturday delivery)
2 - Wifi calling was not working, I was getting "enablement error" when I turned it on. Called tech support twice, second time was escalated to a US-based call center, the guy sounded like he knew what he was doing, and finally opened a "ticket." he said they would call me in 24-48 hrs when its resolved on the back end. I was able to follow up via chat and twitter to confirm the ticket was in fact opened. 36 hours later wifi calling was working (though I have not received a call from them yet).
3 - Service has been slow compared to VZ but expected. I was getting 30+ Mbps now i'm getting 10-15Mbps when its good service. I typically have 2-3 LTE bars but I've read that the bars are subjective by carrier and phone so it's not meaningful to compare across carriers.
4 - Near my office in midtown Manhattan there is apparently an outage that is being worked on; it's been 3 days. Speeds are <1Mbps. I was able to find out about the outage by tweeting at them.
5 - On a few calls I had some random loud beeping during the call (sounds like a touch tone like the other person pressed a number but they said they did not). This occurred on the cell network (not wifi calling) and the other party was on a VZ cell phone. I have not found a solution to this yet and I'm not sure how to force it to happen to troubleshoot it.
6 - The AA 20k Miles OR the credit union bonus will stack with this. I signed up for both and 48 hours later received an email asking which I wanted because I couldn't have both.

Great, did the offer.

Bought T-Mobile pay as you go sims for just over $12 after shipping and taxes, they came pre activated with with 30 min and 30 text so don't need add any more $. Called #NUM# (or #686#) to get my phone number, set a PIN number via 611 and "change my account PIN" command (thanks to Ting's instructions).

Tried to sign up for sprint online on IE 11 and it hung, then tried Chrome and I could not pass the credit check a second time.. Called the number 1-866-782-8777 and did the process. Make sure to tell them T-Mobile prepay so you don't need a account number just the phone number and pin from above. The agent really wanted to add the insurance and I had to say no 3 times. Had to do a three way with the credit department so they could verify me with the standard public record based three questions. Everything was activated and ready to go within about an hour.

If i was to do this again I'd use Chrome over IE and hope it didn't hang, but the good news with calling in is I could use an older SIM card (new) that I paid for from RingPlus.

Still need to remove wife's phone from MVNO and call up and port that phone over with a second T-Mobile phone number.

(Also tried to route google voice to the ported number and it was ringing some other number, will wait a day to set that up.)

Ordered my Moto G4 Plays. Now I need to decide if I should get my GoPhone Sim kits off the shelf at Walmart or order them directly from ATT. Time is running out and I won't even have the phones in hand until tomorrow to be able to order the sims since I don't know the IMEI's.

I'm trying to switch from Verizon, received the email all was good and no service. Called, they said the order didn't go through and got disconnected. Same thing happened when I ordered the SIM cards. Not a good start...

Call them and it will work. I tried activating online but it didn't go through. Call them on the number in the Wiki.

Hmm. Maybe I'll do this instead of ATT GoPhone. Sounds like you created a new line instead of porting and existing number like I'm trying to do. How long after starting the new line with T-Mobile before you ported out to Sprint?

yes T-Mobile is new number, my main number is google voice so i can change SIMs as much as I want. From what I read here people always have issues with porting numbers between the various offers.

I ordered the SIMs on Friday, received Tuesday, opened package found phone and set pin on Wednesday and activated on Sprint a few hours later.
