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.

well that stupid because the hardware is compatible. I don't use sprint, but if its like Verizon, if you pop in an existing sim card, even if they won't activate it brand new it will still work.
It's not like Verizon unfortunately. No VoLTE, and devices must be whitelisted in the Spring database, AFAIK.

Yea I did use it. and they said that backend will add it to my account I'm just double checking I'm trying to avoid having a $40 first month payment
Ok Others have reported the corrections are taking place in about 5 days. I should say wait time is around 5 days
Quote from broncosfan :
I can't use the same H2O sim card I used before apparently. $7 for expedited shipping on Amazon to get another before 6/30. Any other cheap and fast way to get my inactive Nexus 6 on a competitor carrier to switch to Sprint and get another line on this promo?
Sim cards are married to the phone with sprint. When the imei is released the sim is released along with it. No sim swapping. Yes you do need a sprint sim go to best buy. sim is a 436 i believe. See link above. correction: Sprint Part #SIMGLW446C

You will need a temporary phone (MOTO G4 play) to port in, then you can swap out to sprint phone after completion.

I know bought S8 through Samsung for $300 off with trade in and switched to this promo. I called to activate and everything went smoothly and easily coming from his Verizon prepaid.

24 hours waiting for a Google Voice number to port. Gonna wait until Monday to call but any other GV users please chime in if this seems unusual
I've ported 4 GV numbers in may to sprint. The last one took 3 days start in Friday finish on Monday. The other 3 took 1-1.5 days to complete. Maybe GV doesn't port on weekends.

Just signed up using my iPhone 6S (unlocked) and old RingPlus SIM, with port from Ring.to (used full XXX-XXX-XXXX phone number and PIN is last four of phone). There was a bit of a snag with the "authorization" for the port from Ring.to (which is Broadband.com) but went through easily after that.

Sprint pulled Experian, I have a credit freeze but released it prior to the call.

Entire process took about one hour. However, my iPhone is only showing 3G after activation and reprovisioning.

Setup by calling 866-782-8777. Sprint rep seemed to know all the details about the plan. Took about 1 hour.

Information required:
Name/Address/DOB
SSN#
Phone IMEI
Porting Number + PIN/PASSWORD/Account# (for T-Mobile I gave Number+PIN)
Sim Card number (I bought from Best Buy for $5.00)
VISA details for Auto Pay
Details:

1. iPhone SE A1723 16GB (bought from Virgin Mobile for $159+tax; had the Unpaid Status CLEANED for about $25)
2. Ported T-Mobile prepaid mobile number
3. Activation fee waived.
4. Setup Auto Pay
5. Declined additional equipment insurance.
6. Could not get a clear answer as to what the first bill might be; Got the standard answer of "it is different for every state etc.".

Porting completed within 1 hour. Everything working fine.

Sounds about right. Took a bit over a day to receive email that service is activated and ready for port. I received an email once my service was activated and had to call to start porting earlier

I am attempting to activate an unlocked Iphone 6 plus that belonged to another family member who got another phone. It previously was on Verizon and had a Verizon SIM in it. I have a Republic Wireless phone and phone number that is several years old. The IMEI on the Iphone 6 plus coupled with the Republic Wireless phone number passed the online check. I ordered the SIM online and received it the next day.

I performed the online activation which took less than 10 minutes and I received the congratulation message that my account number was created and I was provided a 6-digit pin. The congratulations message indicated I was on the unlimited bring your phone plan for $5 per month and that I would get a $5 credit for autopay and the $30 activation fee credit within 2 invoices. The message indicated the SIM should activate in 10 minutes.

I also received 2 emails. The first message was the same congratulations message that was returned online when I activated and included an activation code to be used as a security question in case I forgot my PIN. The second email was a welcome to Sprint ebill message advising my ebill enrollment was successful and provided the last 4 digits of my Sprint ebill account.

When I power the phone up with the new SIM, I get 5 bubbles of cellular service quickly dropping to 2 and then a message appears indicating " Waiting for Activation this may take some time"...then the cellular strength changes to No Service several seconds later. It has now been 3 hours and the same thing continues to show.

I have WIFI connection and my IOS software is current at 10.3.2 after I updated it. My carrier in settings is identified as Sprint 28.2. I have never had a Sprint account and don't know how to log in to check my account status as I was never asked to setup a username/password. When I select "I forgot my username", I am prompted to enter either my email address of phone number...but when I enter either of those I get a message indicating "We can't find a username for the email or phone number you entered."

I am hesitant to call customer services just yet given the problems others have had with being signed up for the wrong service. The phone number on my Republic Wireless phone is still active. Should I continue to wait for 24 or more hours?
you have a porting issue,call the number I posted on bottom of wiki.
