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.

Quote from vaca_loca :
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.
my 5X is eligible. vaca loca maybe right.

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.
while you are at it, try to stack referral promo on top. and try to add up to 5 lines to max out on these promos.

I put in 2 different iPad T-mobile numbers and it says both are eligible. So I guess it'll work?
Has anyone successfully activated a cellular iPad with this deal? Would be awesome.

I too was able to plug in my iPad (mini) IMEI and a google voice number and it came back confirmed as qualifying for the promotion.

However I'd appreciate it if anyone can let me know if they've been successful actually activating the sim in an iPad. Anyone know if iPad sims are different than iPhone?

I believe the AA promo is per account, isnt it? Not sure about referral or credit union.

Great deal but Sprint service sucks! I live in a huge city and when I pick my son up from school I can not get a signal. Sprint is trying to reel in customers but don't want to do anything about their crappy service! Beware!

If you know Sprint service is not good in your area, then this deals is NOT for you.

How do we find out the account number for the credit union referral?

Wouldn't you need 5 phones on the list to add 5 lines? Any way around that?

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".
I just tested my Nexus 6 with the following results. I did an average of 4 tests at each setting:

- LTE(Recommended): 10.4 (down) / 5.0 (up)
- Global: 13.36 / 5.7

If I go the SIM Status settings page, signal strength is the same and the "Cellular network type" remains "LTE" either way.
