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.

Okay I went to sprint.com/activatenow and filled in all my info. On the screen where it asks for your other account(tmobile in my case) information, I entered it all in and clicked finish. There are yellow bars moving like it's doing something but it's been sitting there for 10 minutes. How long does it take? Is it supposed to give me some kind of message? It just looks stuck. I called in to sprint, ZERO help.

I have 2 lines on this free plan and a newly purchased iPhone SE (bb deal)on the same account under a new $45 plan. I plan to port out/ cancel the iPhone SE after they unlock it. Do you think I'll have any problems porting the SE back in on the free plan? Thanks
how did you open 3rd line with SE.... when you already had first 2 lines on free plan..

I went in to the store and I told the rep to leave my 2 lines alone, don't modify the existing plans and start a new $45 plan on the same account. Simple as that. I didn't trust doing the deal online plus it's a better deal at $1.66/24mo vs $2.50/24

Edited for clarification

What is the healthcare offer?
$400 visa prepaid card when port over 3 lines. On the flyer it says one should be Unlimited Freedom plan, but the store rep who gave me the flyer said it looks like I will receive it even though all 3 of mine are BYOD 1 yr free.

Sprint's gonna give free phone service and hundreds of dollars in bonuses.LMAOLMAOLMAOLMAO

Have you received any concrete confirmation of any of the bonuses?

I signed up for the $50 referral, had store rep put in for the $400 Healthcare/3 ported lines, and the $100 credit union. I didn't sign up for the AA miles, because I think somebody said it is either the miles or the credit union but not both and didn't want to risk $100 for miles I may not ever use.

"Based on your account history, Sprint requires you to make a down payment on the phone you're buying today. As a result, your monthly payment amount has been lowered."

I have 3 lines with the free plan.

I went to Bestbuy to purchase the S8, but csr said I can't have a different plan. Is that right?

Not sure why it took me so long to figure out, but hopefully this helps out others who have poor reception and need Wi-Fi calling to work.

For those that are using an unlocked Samsung S8/S8+ and would like to activate Sprint's Wi-Fi calling without having to flash the Sprint ROM, the instructions to turn the feature on is not as straight forward as you'd think it would be. I kept looking under Connections, Wifi, More Connection settings and assumed I was missing Wi-Fi calling because the unlocked phone didn't support it.

To turn on Wi-Fi Calling:

1. Open the default phone dialer
2. Click on the 3 dots on the upper right hand corner and go to Settings
3. Scroll all the way down and turn Wi-Fi calling to on.
4. Update and register your E911 address

I wouldn't bother continuing that transaction. Best Buy took my money, but then called me on Monday to tell me that I have to change my plan. Now I have to fight to get a refund. It's too bad I live about 50 miles from the nearest store.

Sprint service has been good thus far.

I do get slow DL speed at my house and in other random areas, but its on par with T-Mobile and better than Cricket that I just transferred from (there a whole 2 months).

Where there are LTE+ signals, it can be blazing fast.

On LTE+, I've had as low as 4Mbps and as fast as 55Mbps.

Generally, I get LTE+ on much of the interstate and my city, so I'm pleased so far.

For < $4/mo its definitely a slick deal.

I am not sure if the LG Tribute HD is eligible for the promotion. I am guessing that the inelgible message you talk of is coming from the website.

The Tribute HD can be put on this plan , but it has to be done manually and by somebody who is not fully conversant with the rules of the promo. The website will not let you do it as the promo has a set of phones and the website is apparently enforcing it.

This info is from a person who works in sprint backend operations.

Try calling and see if it can be done. Dont tell them what the phone is , just give them the IMEI.

Alternatively, use a phone from the promo list and swap the phone afterwards.
​how did u do this on galaxy s8+
