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.

Basically, you have to flash the unlocked T-Mobile S8+ with either the XAA firmware (which is from the US unlocked S8+) or the SPR firmware (which is from the Sprint S8+) to enable the Sprint radios/bands on the unlocked T-Mobile S8+, depending on your preference and how you want to configure the phone using ODIN. You can mix and match the firmware files (i.e., AP, CP, CSC, USERDATA, etc.). You can download the firmware files from either Android File Host, Updato, or SamMobile:
Code:

Glad to help.

Log into your Sprint account and swap it yourself by selecting activate a new device on the line you want to swap or call Sprint to swap. You can use the existing SIM. The SIM ICCID and iPhone SE IMEI must be paired correctly on your account before you can activate it. You did not mention which iPhone SE, so you may have to call Sprint to add the IMEI onto the Sprint database if it's not already on the database.

Glad to help.
Thank you for your answer.... and I will plan to use an unlocked verizon iphone SE.
Then, I have to add the IMEI as you said although it's unlocked?

If it fails to swap, you have to ask Sprint to add the IMEI because there are a few different Apple part numbers for the unlocked Verizon iPhone SE. They have a tool called DNA2 that they use to add Apple IMEI onto the Sprint database if it's not already on the database.

Most people reported 1-3 days. Call the porting dept numbers posted on the wiki to expedite the port.

If you want to keep the phone numbers, you can port them back to Sprint from H2O, but you have to use another SSN to open a new account for this deal.

Just wonder, how many lines pre Ssn can port in for this deal. Do I need to port into two separate accounts for me and my wife? Or can we just port both lines into my Ssn's account and get this deal.

I went to a sprint store and picked up a SIM card then called the sales number to activate everything after "unlocking" the google voice number. They activated the sim and created an account for me, then said it would be 1-2 hours before I received service.

I'm going to call the porting customer service line tomorrow and see if they can expediate it. Will report back. Thanks guys.

Those who have created temporary non-sprint accounts to port in to sprint, what is best MVNO to use without hassle and complete the port in process fast? I am trying to get a number to add another line for my byod account. I am seeing a lot of posts referring H20, GV etc., Can someone help me on this?

Max. five lines per SSN, depending on your credit history. For two lines, one account is enough.

In theory, H2O is faster than GV because GV number is a wireline/landline number and may take up to 10 business days to port, but you can always call the Sprint porting dept numbers posted on the wiki to expedite and complete the port as soon as Google agrees to release the number. Most people reported that their GV numbers ported within 1-3 business days. When you port a number from A to B, porting request is sent to A to release the number. When A agrees to release the number after verification, B takes ownership of the number and completes the port request.
