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.

Just keep insisting that it is also the account number. I ported over a FP number, and the account number was also the same as the phone number. The rep questioned it as well, but put it through.
they are keep on asking google's customer care number as they want to call them to ask to release the number... their supervisor is stuck at this point... and not letting them to proceed..



also where to check owner name and address of google voice... they are asking to confirm information again... please help.. now on second call from last 30-40 min...

Searched and can't find the answer. I am currently a Sprint customer. I have an eligible phone and a Google Voice Number. Up to the credit check stage, if I give my SS# will they say you are a current customer? Or will it fly?
My spouse is on the same plan as I am on Sprint, but I am primary, and he is just an added phone from a long time ago, do they have his SS# too, how can I find out?

Everyone is wasting their time with the referrals, credit union rewards, etc. They will be denied while you're on the free plan. Once you're on the regular rate, you can try adding them to your account. This is straight from Marci Carris SVP Customer Mgmt.

Referral and credit union promo doesn't take too long to apply maybe 5 min. Those who don't apply get $0. Those who apply might get $0 or might get $50 or $100 per line. So someone with 5 lines can potentially get $750. Is that worth the 10 minutes apply? Your choice.

so do we register at lovemycreditunion and the credit union at work?
I registered through the lovemycreditunion website. I never contacted my credit union.

At some point in the application process, assuming your credit union is listed in their database, it will ask for your credit union bank account number as well as your Sprint number. I received a confirmation email with a confirmation number, but that doesn't guarantee it will go through. Hopefully I'll receive a nice surprise 8-10 weeks from now.

Quote from applepie100 :
Thanks again for your helpful reply. I'd like to pull the trigger as soon as possible, and just wanted to make sure that I understand all the steps correctly. So, is the below correct?

1) You ported from tello, to att, then to sprint for the 1 year deal. Correct?

2) At the time when you were ordering the att gophone sim card from the att website, you entered the info of your phone # and account # and pin # (anything else?) for the line you wanted to port in to att from tello. Is that right?

3) And in the single transaction on the att website, you paid for the sim card $0.99, signed up and paid for $0.25 plan, and thus a total of $1.70 (=$0.99 + $0.25 + tax)...? I'm asking because I couldn't find a $1.70 sim card and I don't want to order the wrong sim card.

4) And your att sim card arrived in the mail, the sim was already activated? You did not need to call anyone to active your sim and port your number into att, since you already did all that during the purchase transaction, right?
Quote from keung :
1. Yes,
2. Yes
3. My total only include the SIM, it is 1.7 which 0.99 + tax + fee (might not be same amount all state, tax and fee will probably be different)
4. SIM is not activated, you need to go it on a website/or call, then once activate and put in the phone it suppose to trigger the port automatically
Could you please help with some questions?

1. So I ordered the sim from the att website early morning on 6/20 ($0.99+tax). During the order, I did enter my imei number and ting phone number, but I didn't get prompted to enter ting account # or pin # for port in. Did I miss it somehow? All I saw was something like 'your number is eligible'. It's been >1.5 days, and the online checker for order status is still "In Progress", and a phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx (that I don't recognize) shows up right next to the picture of the sim card kit on my order page. Did I miss some steps on the 'port in'...? If so, what can I do now?

2. I'm worried so I called att today. They said my order is 'in progress'. I asked them about that strange phone number (the one shows up next to the sim card picture on the order page), and they said that it's a temporary phone # for the sim that I ordered. They told me that once I receive the sim in the mail, I can call their port-in activation center to port-in my phone #. Is that really true? And if so, is this going to cost me much more time to port in from ting (vs. how you did it)?

3. Should I keep waiting to see what happens to this order? Or should I cancel the order, and redo the order again (and hoping this time I will get promoted to enter ting account # and pin #)...?

Time is running short... so I'm trying to find out best way forward... thanks again for your help.

I've read that it takes 31 days for verification and 6-8 weeks from account opening for them to deposit into credit union account.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but I wouldn't say any of other carriers get significantly better reviews on that website.

Nope.. once your sim is activated then dial below from your mobile...
*123*YourZIPcode*02#

Replace "YourZIPcode" with actual 5 digit zip code.

This will activate $2 daily plan.

Call ATT rep and he'll add $2 to your account. You need to provide your debit or credit card number to rep. I m not sure of online you can top up your account with $2
Trying to figure out if your method (*123*YourZIPcode*02#) would work if I'm porting in a phone # to att go phone.

In your case, did you port in a phone # to att, or you just got a new # assigned by att? Also, does this method work only for $2/day plan? Would it work for $0.25/min plan? if so, how...? Thanks for your help.

Hello,
It does not matter if it is $2/ day plan or $ 0.25 plan, plan activation needs $10 funding. Otherwise, you will NOT get account #. Btw, I gave one SDer my Go Phone # that I offered to you and his business was done in minutes.

Good luck!

Thank you... finally it is done after two days and 3 hours of time dealing with sprint... i got two emails from sprint and one from google that number is ported...

Thank you all for helping and quick answers during calls.

Now one thing i gave them imei number of a iphone which i dont have with me (could not get a eligible phone otherwise as my both phones were already on sprint and this new account opened on wife name). So my question is can i swap the phone to another one after few days (i will have to buy new one perhaps) without effecting my free year plan and without activating current iphone (as i dont have it) and use same sim (its new byod sim i did not open yet)???

Thanks

I just signed up over the phone because it gave me an error online through the promo page and my plan online shows: $45 2GB Plan ($40 w/AP)

I called back and the rep kept saying not to worry, it's a temporary plan and will get adjusted. I read that someone else had this show up for them in an earlier post. And some folks are getting charged full price. Wiki says it should say something else if successfully done.

I then called the 866-782-8777 and the rep looked at my account and said I was on a $45 plan. I told her about the promo. 45 minutes later, she says my account isn't eligible for the promotion since I didn't sign up online (?!). I hung up.

I then tried chatting online with them to fix it. Spent 30 mins on chat verifying my account, got transferred to another agent who verified my account, and then they told me to call 800-777-4681.

I'm 3 hours into it and stuck. For those of you who successfully got this plan by applying over the phone, do you also see this $45 2GB "temporary" plan or what's in the wiki? How do you know you successfully got the plan?
