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.

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.

Thanks. I did visit but stopped when I got to the part where it wanted all my info for the credit check. At this point it had only asked me for the info for 1 phone.

That's besides the point, i already have lines setup that were ported from other carriers. From what I've read its impossible to activate directly with Sprint a Boost phone that operates on the Sprint network.

You are correct on this, I had 2 phones I needed to add to the database.. One older (sprint original) LG g2 that had been used 3rd party MVNO and one Boost ZTE phone also used on Ting, ringplus and freedompop. I sent the IMEI's to LITERALLYUnlimited on Reddit so he could flip them into Sprint's system, and this is what he responded...

9900XXXXXXXXX

This is a Boost phone and isn't eligible to be switched to the Sprint side of things.


9900XXXXXXXXX

I was able to get this device flipped over for you and it should be good to go in juts a few minutes.

Are you guys able to see your taxes/fees? I can see the plan, but keeps saying error or bill not ready yet. Initially, I got very slow data only 3G. How do I change settings for best performance? Data roaming on or off? Automatic or CDMA/LTE? Update PRL?
You have probably done so but in case you haven't reboot your phone. I know I was only getting 3G until I rebooted.

I tried going the cancel re-port route, but ended up with the same problem on wrong plan on new order too! Once they create account once, the online signup will not work anymore because your social is in the system. So you have to rely on telephone reps to sign-up again and I think they have problem because you are already a customer.
No. Failed online sign-up does not make you a Sprint customer. You do not have active plan. It is just unfortunate that the telesales that picked up your call signed you up on the wrong plan. I hope your issue get resolved soon.

Thanks for the reply. Did you have to keep calling to get it "adjusted" or did it just happen?
I called once when I saw it. They already knew about it. From what I can gather the tele sales people are instructed to put people on the plan if for some reason they are having problems putting you on the free one with the intention of switching it later.

It isn't them screwing up but a way to expedite the process of you switching.

When I first called to activate she mentioned that she wasn't able to do it. Then she talked to someone and it was done.

I also gather that the problem was that I was already signed up trying online and failed because of needing to confirm identity then signed up again with the telesales guy.

Grrrrr........ I got:
We're sorry, we're unable to confirm your credit online.
Please call the number above for assistance.

Excellent credit. Why?
Probably nothing to do with your credit. More to do with needing to verify you are who you say you are.

Sorry I'm sure this has been asked, but my wife and I are both on verizon but with old LG G2s which aren't on the eligible device list.

If I get us both new unlocked phones from say amazon, do I need to activate them on verizon first before I can switch them over, or do I just need the imei and current phone number?

Also, do I have to order the sim cards with the online link, or will the dipsticks in the sprint store sell me sims? (not sure if its worth even trying with the clowns at my closes store)
I'm in the same situation, except we have Moto Zs that can't be transferred. I'm going to pick up a couple of Moto G4 or G5s and a couple of Sprint SIMs. Probably all from Best Buy as time is running out. From what I gather that is all I need to port the numbers over and do this deal.

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 tried pm LiterallyUnlimited but he never answered. anyone else I can contact?

I had to call them as it wouldn't process my credit online for some reason (800+ credit score)

Its pretty bad, when their customer service is so bad trying to do this over the phone. I've almost given up trying to get a deal done. (for a free year of cell lol)
was on the phone with them for 1hr plus just trying to get them to process...then they said thy couldn't fully do it and needed to send me a SIM card first....charge my card but never even send me the SIM...as I never received it after several days.
Call them back up...then am told it never processed and they need additional info and put me on hold for 20 mins plus.


No wonder they are giving accounts away it will probably take four days to cancel the account...LOL...as they say you get what you pay for.

I updated wiki:

Porting Issues, call:
888-876-8381
account name needs to match what Sprint has for previous carrier, otherwise, porting will fail.

Quote from applepie100 :
Please help. I'm trying to port out from ting to "another carrier" (then to sprint for this deal). For "another carrier", can someone please comment on "att go phone" vs. "Tmobile prepaid"? Which one is better?

I ordered an att sim card on the att website on 6/20 early morning and just got tracking info saying the delivery date is 6/26 end of day. The time is running out so I'm considering another route now, and saw some people seem to say that T-mobile option is better.

What exactly is the T-mobile $10 option? Can we walk into T-mobile store and get the sim and do the port-in from ting, and complete everything and get all the info I need for the spring 1-year deal (eg. new T-mobile acct #, pin #)? Is this T-mobile thing all for $10 and can be done quickly? Thanks for your help.

I havent done an instore port with Tmobile, just ATT. But, it should be just as simple. From my understanding, TMobile has a 3.00 per month plan which gives you 30 minutes. That is enough to get activated and port out. But, you may only be allowed to put a minimum of 10.00 on the account. If they let you do it for 3.00, go for it.
