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.

I don't use Reddit. how do you do it? thanks
If you can't contact LiterallyUnlimited, you can also call Sprint. Just ask them to change the PLBL flag on your phone to SPCS so that it can used on Sprint. PLBL means private label and can be used only on Sprint MVNOs. SPCS means Sprint Personal Communication Services. Sprint PCS was the name Sprint used in the old days when it first introduced cellular service in the US. Damn! I am old Big Grin

I was curious about this too so I signed up anyway just to see.

From my account a week ago, I received an email with the following conditions. No mention of the byod restriction:

My new account created yesterday has this line added to the bottom of the referral email:

The rest of the T&Cs appear to be the same as the first email.

The referral terms and conditions page has added it to the bottom of the page as well:
https://refer.sprint.com/common/terms.pg
Damn! Who called Sprint and alerted Marcelo Claure? That's what happens when many people called Sprint and asked about it. How nice of Sprint to add it there to clear things up Big Grin

It's pretty easy, I just did it. Go to reddit.com and sign up for an account.

Instructions are from a desktop browser, since that's what I used.

1. Click the blue Login or sign up link in the upper right hand corner.

2. Create an account username and password.

3. Click the envelop picture in the upper right next to your username.

4. Click send a private message.

5. type LiterallyUnlimited in the to line.

6. Provide your IMEI and kindly ask to have your iPhone made available for postpaid.

7. Click I'm not a robot and deal with the captcha.

8. Click send.

9. Get reply and thank him for helping out.

OR

Contact Sprint directly with information from macrokelvin, but the above steps will probably take less total time, your choice.

I got a "Brand New" sparingly used iPhone 6 A1586 32GB from craigslist to use for this deal. When I put in the IMEI it says unpaid dues. The seller told he has paid full price on the phone and had it unlocked. What should I do now? The seller has a disconnected number. The iphone does work with my tmobile SIM card (checked it when I bought it).

Any suggestion would be helpful....

Any luck doing this deal with dummy IMEI and then adding real IMEI later? Also, has anybody had luck white listing a US Cellular Moto G4 Play phone?
I added dummy IMEI to my wife's account. To swap with real IMEI, just select activate a new phone on that line. Not sure if you must activate by June 30th as we have activated the phone.

Does this apply to Androids (have a sprint note 4 used both on RingPlus and FP, then Ting)? Not sure if that's why my note 4 is ineligible. I also bought a Sprint Note 5 having the same rejection. I will try chatting as well. But at least I got an iP 5C and S7 (both Sprint devices) up and running under my plan. Now trying to have my relatives jump the band wagon.

Swappa - Not Blaklisted / Activation status clear

Ting - Sorry, this phone can't be activated right now. Sprint says there's an unpaid balance associated with it.

What are the part numbers as printed on the boxes?

What is the part number as printed on the box? Does it still work with T-Mobile now or other carriers (other than Sprint)? Get an Apple GSX report from eBay (I think it's $0.99). Hopefully, it's just outstanding service bill that the seller did not pay, which can be "cleaned."

Just ordered a T-Mobile SIM per the suggestion of someone else earlier, and told the eBay seller to email the SIM #...

I have a previously used T-Mobile SIM that I used to port my first line to Sprint for this offer... not sure if I can call T-Mobile again and re-use it, lol

Edit: Also tried using TextNow free number. On Sprint page, it said IMEI + number was eligible, but once I clicked next and was logged in, it said I was not eligible. Not sure if it's because of TextNow, or something else.

Figured it out, order the SIM by June 30th and activate service by July 31st. Noice!!! Two sprint reps confirmed with me.
They put they in writing for you? I've had a rep tell me 7/31, and another 6/30, for activation date

I was on livechat before I read your post. The agent said the promo has been extended but didn't give me a confirmed date.

Amanda : It would be my pleasure to help you with the details of 1 year free promotion.
Amanda : You can visit www.sprint.com/1yearfree for more information and to get started with the online process.
You : But I am worried about the deadline of this promotion which is ending tomorrow.
Amanda : Please do not worry!
Amanda : This promotion has been extended till July.
You : I am on the registration process and I see I must order a sim first and then activate the line after receiving the sim.
Amanda : Absolutely!
Amanda : You need to order the Sim online first.
You : oh that is good news! When in July is the new deadline?
Amanda : The end date is not yet announced.
Amanda : I would recommend buying as soon as possible if you want to lock in the promotions.
