I am also pointing up data point that
1. People should check the data speed before joining
2. You can always go back to your old carrier if you don't like Sprint.
Very nice Filipina lady checked and said I had not signed up, so we did that. My concern was that I was using a Google Voice number. When asked who my current provider was, I told them it was Google Voice. I had no problem getting them to accept it. She said I should go to a Sprint store to get a SIM, and she'd call me back to finish setting up the account. She did require me to get the device insurance to complete the activation.
I first went to Best Buy, as I had read here that they sometimes just handed out the SIMs without charging. Very nice sales person said that they had tried that, but their SIMs would not work in an already unlocked phone, and that's what I had. She suggested I go to the Sprint store, which was luckily very close. Very nice young man there looked up what SIM was required for my phone, and handed it to me. No charge.
The original CSR called me back and completed sign up.
I tried cycling the phone to get it to auto activate, like she suggested, but without success. Finally, I called back and got another very nice Filipina lady. I say Filipina only to say that they're not USA based. She fixed whatever problem was preventing me from activating, and the phone did it's own activation after that. I received a call on it and made an outgoing call without problem. I checked to make sure data was working also.
Later, I tried to send a text message to my new Sprint phone. No text received. I searched online for help, and tried to create a MySprint account to look for help. When I tried to input my WORKING phone's number, the system kept telling me that number wasn't activated or had been disabled. I finally got my text working by SENDING a text. After that, texting worked both ways.
Now the problem was that my number wasn't recognized by the website as activated. Called, and picked device support, technical issues at the menu prompts. The rep told me to call customer care. I told him that's who I thought I was talking to. Not the right customer care, it appears. He suggested I call back and when the menu recitation started, begin tapping zero. It worked. Nice young lady assisted me, finally telling me to give the system time to recognize my number. While online with her, I tried the website, and the number was now recognized. The worst part about this call was the interminable wait to get to the CSR, and listening to a Sprint commercial loop done in that fake, Disney World happy voice. Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and.....
That CSR cancelled the insurance for me.
So now, everything worked. The next step was to transfer the service off my NEW Samsung S8+ to an older, almost new condition Sprint Samsung Note 3. Now the system recognized my phone number, so I could get into that section of MySprint. Only, it wouldn't allow me to switch service to the Note 3. Now I will have to hoof it to a Sprint Store to see if I can get some help in switching devices.
Takeaway from all this, everyone I talked to was very nice, friendly and helpful. Persistence paid off. Almost all the way. Tomorrow, I'll try to finish up with the Sprint Store personnel.
Good luck. I hope this article (too long to call a post) can be of help to some of you.

It takes a while after your new account is set up for your phone to appear on your account. After that, go to MySpint > Devices > Manage My Device and swap the phone. You may also notice that your phone has different name/model as appeared on your account. If online swap fails, you can always call/chat with Sprint rep to swap.
This is per line. So 3 lines would be 7.17. Then add taxes. For my 3 lines the taxes were 1.82
This is per line. So 3 lines would be 7.17. Then add taxes.
Option 1: 2 lines in the same account
Cost: A = ($1.99 + $0.40) x 2 + tax
Option 2: 2 accounts, 1 line per account
Cost: B = $1.99 + $0.40 + tax
Cost: C = $1.99 + $0.40 + tax
So, A = B + C
correct?
