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.

Yes, ask Sprint or LiterallyUnlimited to change the MVNO flag from PLBL to SPCS so that it can be activated on the Sprint plan.

Finished porting 5 lines from ATT to Sprint.
10314 3 lines went from 2mbps w/ ATT to 6mbps w/Sprint
92354 2 lines went from 3mbps w/ ATT to 2mbps w/Sprint

The speeds are horrible but ATT charged me over $200 per month for crap now at least I get crap for free.
Will be worth while when T-Mobile merges with Sprint or Comcast buys sprint. Talks back on since March, fell thru during 2013, FCC and previous admin were to blame, so they say.

Yes, it has to be changed to SPCS (Sprint Personal Communication Services) because PLBL (Private Label) can only be activated on Sprint MVNOs.

I'm in Tampa, FL and getting good service on iphone 6. I'm in fact was with Ringplus and then Tello(both on Sprint network) since last 3 years and never had signla issues.

Please try below method if you have iphone:
1. Carrier Reset:
Make sure Roaming is Off (go to Settings -> Cellular -> Cellular Data Options -> Roaming Off)
Connect to a Wi-Fi network
Go to dial pad
Enter ##25327#
Press Call
A "Reset Subscriber Settings" message will appear - press OK
Wait 5-10 seconds; the signal notification will display "Searching" on the top left of the screen.
When the phone shows a signal again, you can proceed to the next step.

2. Profile and PRL Update:
Connect to a Wi-Fi network
Press the phone app
Dial ##873283#
Press Call
Starting Service Update message will appear - press OK
If update is successful Service Update Complete message will appear after about a minute - press OK.
If the update is not successful or you get a "Service Update Failed" message, make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi network and try again.

And below method if you have android phone:
1.Carrier Reset
Disable Wi-Fi and enable data (some LTE devices do not require this)*
Open the dialer
Dial ##72786# and press Call
OR
Press the menu button or tap the menu icon on the top right hand corner + Select Reset (Certain Android devices, such as many HTC devices, have slightly different steps to do the same thing)
Enter your MSL (xxxxxx) if prompted (copy the MSL from your Tello online account)
Press "OK", phone will restart then go through the activation process.
*Some LTE devices can perform a carrier reset over a Wi-Fi connection, but if it doesn't work for you, enable data, disable Wi-Fi and repeat the process before continuing to the next step.

2. Profile Update:
Disable Wi-Fi and enable data (some LTE devices do not require this)
Open your device's Application menu
Touch "Settings". There is some variation between Android phones in where you'll find the profile update option but you'll generally find it in one of a few places in the Settings menu:
Settings > About phone > System Updates > Update Profile
Settings > About Phone > Update Profile
Settings > More > Mobile Networks > Carrier Settings > Update Profile
Touch "Update Profile". The device will restart when complete.

3. PRL Update:
Disable Wi-Fi and enable data (some LTE devices do not require this)
Open your device's Application menu
Touch "Settings". There is some variation between Android phones in where you'll find the PRL update option but you'll generally find it in one of a few places in the Settings menu:
Settings > System Updates > Update PRL
Settings > Sprint®* System Updates > Update PRL
Settings > About Phone > Update PRL
Touch "Update PRL". Wait for the PRL update to complete, then touch "OK". Your device may restart after the PRL update. If not, please restart your device. At this point, our services should be enabled.

You might want to do it multiple times if not getting LTE.
Thank you very much. i will try this and post an update.

My plan says BYOD unlimited on the main screen, but when I click on the details, it lists the $45 2GB plan. My data usage is also not showing up. Is this normal? Will it fix itself eventually?

I called and the sprint guy said that I don't qualify for the BYOD unlimited plan because I upgraded my phone, but most of the reps are clueless so I'm not sure. I just bought one of those $2.50 a month iPhones and already paid it off.
