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.

Those are the right SIMs, yes. You'd have to activate each SIM..can be done via Tmobile website.. follow instructions im SIM packet and then place the SIM on the phone whose IMEI it was registered to.

Like I mentioned earlier, switching from a Sprint MVNO the IMEIs of the 3 phones will need to be switched back to the correct SPCS database and ot might not be an automatic thing that happens when you cancel or port the line. It was not in my case (Fi, previously on RingPlus)

I bought T-Mobile sims and activated all 3. I was able to get LiterallyUnlimited to white list my numbers so they were eligible when they were not at first, they sent me the SIMs overnight. I then called in to activate and gave them the number of the first line and the sprint SIM, she then asked me for the T-Mobile account number and I said "it's the same as my phone number" and she then hesitated and asked to call T-Mobile to verify that it's an eligible account. I panicked and hung up since prepaid lines are not eligible; she called back my line literally at least 30 times in a row. I then went to sprint.com/activatenow and tried to do it myself, it hangs after I hit the submit button and doesn't go through. What do I do now? Also, did I have to load any money onto the $3 plan for this to work? I didn't load any money onto the T-Mobile SIMs, I just activated the numbers via the 800 number. Was that ok to do? What's my next step here?

Grrr... I was finally able to add a 2nd line (they couldn't get the 3rd one working even though it was supposed to be eligible) and then take a look at my account online to see that they signed me up for the "$65 - Unlimited Freedom w/ AutoPay" plan, instead of the "Unlimited - Bring Your Phone". Back to the phone for more support hold time...
Did you signup your first line online and was your online account showing Unlimited - Bring Your Phone before adding a 2nd line?

I'm thinking of adding a 2nd line and it seems only way to do this is to call the telesales and you have a certain chance to be screwed by the telesales rep.

Yup, that's exactly what I did. Everything was great by signing up online for the first one. It showed the plan as "Unlimited - Bring Your Phone" and the charges as $5 per month with a $5 credit for autopay. In fact, that first line still shows up that way under my account. But the 2nd one that they added when I called shows up as a $65 single line plan. Basically, the rep screwed up and signed up for the wrong plan. And now they claim they can't fix it, and I am supposed to wait for them to call me back.

Does anyone know the answer to this:

If I added a few phones to a $3 T-Mobile pay as you go, do I actually have to add funds to the account or just activate them and leave them with 0 balance is ok? And do I say they're all on the same T-Mobile account or do I tell them separate lines when I go to activate them on Sprint?

You don't need to add fund to your T-mobile lines as all Sprint needs is account number and pin(they won't call or send a text to your T-mobile number to verify ownership).

You need to tell Sprint you have multiple T-mobile lines.

Your T-mobile account number is 11 digits (1+phone number).

I'm in a similar situation (just paid my Cricket bill on 6/25). It won't save you any money (since the sprint free year ends on 7/31/18 regardless). However, it will allow you to stay on VZ coverage/speeds longer.

I ordered today (not knowing whether it would be extended for sure). I may just not activate the Sprint sim if I change my mind (I'm actually pretty satisfied with Cricket). If I do activate, I'll time it when I won't absolutely have to have my phone for a few hours.

I told them they were all separate T-Mobile lines, all 3 were separate lines is what I told them and they said ok well let me get T-Mobile on the line to verify the eligibilty of this. I hung up when they did that, because of course prepaid is not eligible. I don't know what my next step is.
