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 macrokelvin :
I check two IMEIs that are currently active on Sprint and they both show "Great news! Your phone is compatible with Ting." What does your IMEI show?
That is weird. If I enter my iPhone 6s active on Sprint sero, I get the unpaid balance flag on ting.
The 6s was sim free from Walmart deal that we used Verizon sim first to unlock. Swapped into sero about month ago. I hope it is not locked to Sprint now.
Also before I swapped I checked the S5 that was active on sero and showed unpaid balance on ting. After swap the S5 passed ting. Strange.
Edit the tello checker says imcompatible when using the 6s imei that is currently active.

It should be still unlocked. Could you please verify if it's still unlocked?

I just checked a dummy IMEI that is currently on the free Tello plan with the Ting BYOD, it also shows "Great news! Your phone is compatible with Ting." The dummy IMEI was created based on N6 device ID using Luhn algorithm. There is no real device on that line. I just randomly send text message to that line to keep it active Big Grin

You can port any non-Sprint number.

I could but wife gets mad when I mess with her phone. Oh well, Since I saw the same unpaid
balance thing on my S5 before swapping to the 6S I thought it was causing that message.
I guess any phone active on my account will fail ting until inactive. Which makes sense because I couldn't have same phone active on sprint's network with 2 numbers.

I got the same issue, but finally get my Moto G4 work after some tries. The key is to set the correct Sprint APN for Moto G4.

Here is my procedures:
1. Remove the Sprint SIM card and insert any GSM SIM card (T-Mobile, ATT or FreedomPop)
2. Go to Settings - More - Cellular networks - Carrier settings, you will see APN there!
3. Click APN then delete all the APNs already in the page.
4. Click the "+" button to add a Sprint APN ( APN: cinet.spcs), then save it.
5. Choose the Sprint APN and leave settings.
6. Remove the GSM SIM and insert the Sprint SIM.
7. Drink a cup of coffee then enjoy the LTE.

Hopefully it works for you.
Thanks for the tip. I was able to add the Sprint APN but still only getting 3G. LTE is spotty in my house, so I'll try it out at better locations tomorrow. If that doesn't work someone else suggested going into recovery mode, wiping the cache, then resetting the phone (to force a restore of possibly corrupted PRL file). A little drastic but no LTE is really bugging me!

Because Sprint is actually good in some areas. Similar to Verizon in my area.

Ok I did the web offer but had to call in for my credit check since I not so stellar credit. I called the number on the wiki. Sprint rep had to manual create my account. I had my 3 hour activated prepaid T-Mobile sim card, account number and pin ready. I also had a Sprint sim card from an old Sprint phone I had. He asked which company was the number under and if it was prepaid or postpaid. I froze for a min, but then answered truthfully, I said T-Mobile prepaid. Fast forward, time for another credit check, I said fine. There was a problem since I had just closed an account with them six months ago but then got settled after they removed the old account. Hooray, so I thought, credit department cleared and now to finish the process. Rep asked for new phones IMEI and ICCID (sim card), IMEI passed but ICCID sim card was not compatible, rep said that for me to complete the process I had to buy a new sim card. I tripled checked all numbers and he reaped and supposedly sim card was no good for my phone. He said I could either purchase one with him and wait till it arrives to finish the process which would take a couple more days or go to a Sprint store and buy one then he would go ahead and call back the next day to complete the process. I said fk that Sprint store was 10 mins away and if you want my business you will stay on the line. 15 mins passed by got my new Sprint sim card which btw was $11 fkn dollars even after telling the store rep, online rep said it was 2 or 3 bucks which he only said to buy online or ask for a credit but store was $11. FINE, bought the fkn sim since I needed it, and store rep also confirmed that it had to be a BYOD sim card they carried for specific devices. Phone rep got the new sim card ICCID went thru, rep also told me that he needed to enroll me to autopay and ebill, I said ok even better I wont have to do it online or something. He finished then transferred me to porting dept to make sure phone was working. A couple tries and phone calls to make it work but connected fine in the end. Spent almost an entire hr and spent $30+ just on sim cards just today but well worth it. My Sprint account is fresh new and see the following;

Unlimited - Bring Your Phone

Plan includes

Unlimited - Bring Your Phone
Unlimited Talk, Text and Data.
$5/line/mo up to 5 lines. (Free with AutoPay until 7/31/18)
10GB Mobile Hotspot.
International Text from US
Requires $5 per line/per month AutoPay discount.
Savings until 7/31/18; then $60/mo. for line 1, $40/mo. for line 2 and $30/mo./line for lines 3-5 with AutoPay

Monthly cost
$5.00


Gonna keep an eye for those $5 monthly cost, im pretty sure its because the account is new and will adjust when first bill shows up, if not best believe they will receive another phone call asking for refund or credit, shit lol.

Oh yeaa after rep finished and before he transferred me to the porting dept, I asked if this promo was a 2 year contract or something, he placed me on hold for several minutes and came back and told me it was a BYOD plan, since I already owned my phone there was no 2 year contract, he was only able to see the 1 year free unlimited then $60 plus taxes for the line. look around

Tmobile customer here, I'm interested in jumping on this deal, however, I don't have a phone yet. How do I open an account? Is it possible at all or Sprint requires you to have a phone before signing up? TIA

You are going to need a phone for Sprint to verify it qualifies then to create an account. I am not entirely sure if you can bring any Sprint device or just the ones listed in the wiki. I happened to have a phone already listed in the wiki so cant help much in that department. I am also not entirely sure how long do you have to wait to swap your device. If you can do it within a couple days then maybe if possible get a loaner phone from someone you may know while you get a device of your own? Maybe someone that has swap a device can chime in.

Even with Sprint's service being offered free for a year, I'm not even sure if it is worth it for me to stay. I am in a major metro area (less than 15 mins away from Disneyland) but my house is pretty much a dead zone for all the carriers. Out of all the major carriers, Sprint is the absolute worse. I have to be right by a window just to barely get 1 bar of 3G service. Forget 1x , LTE, or LTE+ I'm barely getting 3G! I can't even run a speed test without running into problems but when I can, my speed is 118ms ping, 1.20 Mbps down, 5 kbps up. Sprint's network is an absolute joke.
