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.

what is account number for GV number..

edit:
i found this.., your Google Voice number is the number you want to port and your "account number" and there is no password for porting a number out.

so is it nothing for pin or is it voicemail pin as mentioned in wiki which i set through settings

Android users... What do you have "Preferred Network Type" set to? I believe it was automatically set to "Global", but then changed to "LTE (Recommended)". I seem to have better data speed and strength while on "Global".

Here is what I ended up doing:

1) Purchased T-Mobile BYOD SIM from Amazon (~$10). Presumably can also be found at T-Mobile stores.

2) Ported out from Google Fi -> Google Voice (cost $0) Took around 24 hours, started at ~2 PM Eastern Time on a weekday.

3) Once # was ported to GV, used Hangouts to receive/place incoming calls on it temporarily via WiFi.

4) PM'ed LiterallyUnlimited on Reddit who moved my Pixel XL from PLBL back to SPCS so it can be activated on Sprint.

5) Activated T-Mobile SIM on their pay as you go plan, and got a new number. Did not top off, since I couldn't pay just $3, had to put at least $10, as far as I could tell. Signed up for a T-mobile account right after it prompted for payment. A port can be requested, if you'd like to move the original # to Sprint -- I left mine at GV and will use GV app so that my original (now GV #) shows up as outgoing caller ID. Using GV, calls to my original number will also be forwarded to this new ported #.

6) Once Sprint's eligibility checker was showing my IMEI was eligible, called Sprint and told them I had a SIM sent by telesales and wanted to sign up for unlimited promo. I had requested SIM from them a few days ago by phone -- cost $12.95 for 2 BYOD Sprint SIMs. I went through the process of giving info on myself, Pixel XL IMEI, Sprint SIM ICCID, etc. Gave port details as T-Mobile prepaid, with # as acct number, and pin to what I had set initially when activating the SIM card. Credit pulled hard on Experian for me (NH). Asked for identity verification questions, approved for up to 5 lines. About 40 minutes later or less was done with call and had order number.

7) Started to receive Sprint related e-mails a few minutes up to an hour after call ended. Got home, placed Sprint SIM in phone, and did a carrier reset, and phone started working on 3G, and saw the T-mobile # on SIM, and data/calls were working. Set up Sprint account online after received e-mail saying profile was added to account, and verified the promo was applied correctly.

8) Did a carrier reset this morning from an LTE area and after a reboot/PRL upgrade, LTE was available.

Everything was actually pretty smooth. Longest that took was the GV port from Fi. Hope this helps others. Smilie

its true that sprint phones use different sims. Not sure in your specific case though.
just came from Best Buy, bought 2 more sims for my Moto X Pure and Nexus 5.X (same sim), i saw different sims for different android phones, LGG3, S6, Note 4, Note 7. Pixel uses Moto X Pure sim.

Anyone have any idea whether you can sign up for the credit union cash reward when your account has this promo? If the worst that'll happen is a denial, it'd be worth trying. Just don't want to mess anything up.

If the phone is still active on any Sprint MNVO, the IMEI / phone will show as not eligible.

For the above, or if you ever had this phone on a Sprint MVNO, you will have to have the phone's IMEI changed from the PLBL database to SPCS. PM LiterallyUnlimited on reddit and he should be able to help out. Otherwise the Moto Play versions will work just fine.

I'd go with sprint you get more choices to BOYD. Then you can swap to other sprint compatible device. After 120 days you can upgrade and get access to all the sprint phone deals and then get the phones unlocked, they say 50 days but sooner if you really try. No hotspot on virgin and you need to buy their iPhones pretty much at full price. Not sure about unlock policy but the old one was after 12 months service. There are other virgin travel related perks though.
thanks for your thoughts on this. Very much in line with what I was thinking. Also the credit union or AA miles promo further tips this in Sprint's favor.
