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.

It will work. Just flash the 935u firmware and it will have all the bands, all s7 edge hardware is the same.
But he have to get the imei on sprint's list first. I have the s7 edge as well but ended up buying the unlocked s8 because the s7 turns up ineligible. I didn't want to deal with sprint's customer service as they definitely got worse over the last few years.

Yes, it will work. The hardware is identical for all US variants. Just flash the firmware to XAA or SPR and ask Sprint to add the IMEI to the Sprint database.
You've helped me in the past on Verizon threads, and I'm on the fence about this deal, so thought I would ask:
Not really feeling like a credit pull, and not sure how this deal will play out over the year. Do you think after so many people join via this deal, the data speeds will drop to a crawl because of all the new users? And if T-mo buys Sprint will they just drop all these lines and promos, or would it be in their interest to honor these promos? Or will those changes be so slow to unfold, that it's not a relevant concern.

I'm pretty happy with Cricket, a 2 Mobley AT&T lines, and an Xfinity Mobile line right now. But part of me wonders if I will be disappointed once this deal is over, if I don't act on it. Thanks for any opinions/insight.

Quote from Aerosfire :
Are the IMEIs entered tired to the sim card? I ordered sims yesterday but might get a new Verizon iPhone today (iPhone 6). Will this be a problem activating when the sim cards come?
I had nearly this identical issue. Ordered the SIM's on one IMEI, then changed my mind. As long as that iPhone you ordered is compatible with this deal (make certain) you should be able to swap (might need a new SIM) but you'll likely have to activate the SIM you ordered initially on the phone you ordered it with. I was going to try and way until my new ones arrived and call and try to change it but decided I didn't want to complicate anything and get my account jacked up. We're running out of time on this, I'd just keep going with what you are doing, then swap in a week or so once you're account is fully set up and correct online. Just my $ .02

Thanks, I think you're right, too much risk of a massive mess with Sprint. Thanks!

Gotta call AFAIK. You should have set both up on the initial order, there were multiple lines to do so, up to 4 I think.

Ok, could use some advice: I bought a samsung s8+ from the samsung direct deal, which spec wise isn't really much better than my verizon note 5. I also bought the moto g4 play as a backup in case the s8 didn't arrive in time. Now i got them both. If sprint will let me use my note 5 immediately after activating the deal with the moto g4, i will open that box, but i don't want to wait 120 days. Is it difficult to negotiate a device change in the first 120 days? If so, maybe i will use thr s8+ for 4 months and then sell it while it's still the current flagship

Put my Nexus 6 on H2O, then got this deal. Then transferred service from the Nexus to my Sprint S7 (not the unlocked version). Then went to put the Nexus on an MVNO, but couldn't. Now I see my taxes are a very low $3.82 on the one line. They should be slightly less on a second, right? The $2.39 Sprint surcharges are per account, not per line? I'm thinking I should just add another Sprint line with the Nexus. Do I need to put it on H2O first, or can I just go directly to Sprint? One Sprint CSR told me that once I'm in the promo, additional lines can be added and don't have to be brought over from another carrier.

Speed is really dependent on your area. I went to Verizon for their voice. Their data actually sucked compared to the current sprint in my area. Sprint used to be under 1mbps now over 30mbps. Verizon was over 10mbps now barely 2mbps. Voice is still better on verizon but couldn't turn down this free service.

You can swap in any sprint phone anytime. Make use of this threads search box.

I'm trying to port out a freedom pop number and I even changed the pin to the phone and the account number is the same as the phone number correct? However I'm getting a sprint error, saying to contact them because something is wrong. I do have a red line going across and also the phone number is red on freedompop. Could this have something to do? Any advice would be great.
