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 mattbarnes :
One more question... Sprint sent me a SIM card and when trying to activate with the Galaxy S8 unlocked model, they are telling me that it is an invalid SIM card and THEY are the ones that sent it to me.

Now they are telling me that there is a special Sprint SIM card made for the unlocked Galaxy S8 that I will need to obtain from either them or a store.

Is this true? With VZW / Tmob / ATT, one SIM card worked on all the phones.
It is true. Here's an old article that describes it better than I could [androidpolice.com]. I used Tello's website [tello.com] to determine the correct SIM card for my Nexus 6.

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
Thanks for detailed steps! How long did Literally Unlimited take to switch the IMEI in the database? I'm waiting for more than 12 hours now.

Im kind of thinking of doing this just for Data for my iPad.
I currently have the T Mobile Promo of free data for life (200MB per month) but this could work lol.
I just dont know how Sprint would be in Rural Kansas.

wow, I knew I would regret closing a credit union account last year that I had dormant for 16 years. I got tired of them bothering me and telling me I needed activity in the account so I just closed it one day. Guess I need to hurry up and find another.

Anyone NOT getting LTE? I could never get LTE to work on this plan. Even 3g is not on all the time. Sometimes it shows 1x. A quick Google search showed that Sprint throttles data for cheap plans!

so much for next day air shipping, it has been 3 days and I have not received sim cards. I called CS, and their excuse is wait today as well. I am going to make a call to them asking for refund. If they do not, getting chargeback.

2 hours later, I've been passed around to a few reps. For some reason one wanted to rerun the credit check. As of right now this rep says my device is locked even though it's a moto g4 LOL.

I dunno if this is even worth a free year at this point.
