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.

Quote from savoirfaire :
I just helped my mom sign up this morning. A little bit of a hassle but finally got it done. One thing that irked me... after going through the terms with me, the customer service rep basically said to me, "I'm also signing you up for the Total Equipment Protection Plus insurance plan. It only costs about 43 cents a day and you can cancel anytime you want." He didn't ask me if I wanted it, he just told me he was going to sign me up for it. Being as this is not my first rodeo, I said, "Don't sign me up for insurance, I already know I don't want it." He says, "You have to sign up for it at the time of activation, you can call back tomorrow and cancel it." I say, "I don't want to call back and cancel it. I want you to not sign me up for it in the first place." He then says, "We are going to be reprogramming your phone so you have to sign up for it just in case. Just call back tomorrow to cancel." So finally, I dropped it and went online and canceled it this afternoon. Highly unethical, if you ask me.
You should probably have insisted on no to practise standing on principle. I did. But it is not a problem as you can just cancel it, that's true.

Or maybe I'm looking at it wrong and we should let the (probably low-income) agent earn his/her commission since it is easy for us to cancel it afterward.

I don't disagree with you. Ordinarily, I'm a stubborn SOB, but I was driving on the interstate (using my headset) so I decided it was better not to deal with it and focus on the road.

Quote from badpav :
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?
If you already have a FreedomPop GSM or LTE SIM, that is a no-brainer line to use. The beauty is porting out of FP does not close your account, you can choose a new number and use the same account to port out the next day if you want more than 1 Sprint BYOD line.

I am not sure obtaining a FP account from scratch (for 99 cents) just for this promo is worth it given all the fuss people have with FP. But I have been able to do 3 Sprint lines by porting in from a single free FP account, and it only took one day each (once other SD'ers told me about calling to expedite the port).

[QUOTE=savoirfaire;101936556...
The first store, a corporate store at the mall, the guys says, "You can't just buy a sim card." I showed him on my phone where the Sprint website says you can buy the Sim kit in the store, and he just says, "That's incorrect." Fine, so I leave the corporate store and go to the Sprint kiosk. I tell the guy there I want to buy a sim card for BYOD. ... You can go to the corporate store and buy it from them." So I say fine and leave. I stop by a second Sprint corporate store on the way home, and the dude there says, no problem. Gets the sim package. Scans it in. It pops up as FREE ISIM KIT PROMO, so he tells me, "You're in luck, it's free right now." And I walk out satisfied. No ethics anywhere these days...[/QUOTE]

That in a nutshell mirrors my experience in getting a SIM from both corporate stores and third party reseller Sprint stores. It goes a long way explaining why Sprint is not doing well.

Oh yeah if you were driving then I agree and would do the same think since it is easy to cancel it later.

interesting, when I try my freeldompop number online, it says not eligible. Did you have to request a pin or port out release from freedompop?

I'm looking to purchase two Motorola E4's for this sprint deal but don't have any numbers to port in since the two lines I have are on Tings sprint network. How do I go about getting these numbers from AT&T go phone? Do I need the Motorola E4's first then purchase go phone byod sims? Then signup for a $10 service plan with go phone?
You can't port from Ting directly to Sprint. If you want to keep Ting number then
1) Buy Moto phone, either E4 or G4 make sure that it's unlocked.
2) Buy AT&T GoPhone SIM then set up the new account with $2 a day plan with minimum 10 refill.
3) Port your line from Ting to AT&T Go Phone.
4) Call Sprint and port it again from AT&T GoPhone to Sprint.

If you don't want to keep Ting number, you can just buy AT&T GoPhone sim then get your new number and port to Sprint.

Yes, I had the PIN obtained from https://my.freedompop.com/.

FP Sprint numbers shouldn't work. And I have encountered certain FP ATT LTE SIM numbers from normal area codes that the Sprint rep said wouldn't work (oddly the Sprint rep said because Sprint didn't have coverage in those areas). But all (858) and (619) numbers I tried worked.

When I added my second line, the sale lady added the technical support add-on. Only found out when she was reading the term agreement. I stopped her and said I don't want that. She insisted that I sign up and cancel it later. I said no, I don't want to have call back to cancel it. I also told her I don't want any extra. It took her like 7 minutes on her computer before she start reread the agreement again. So, at the end, she was asking how was her service from 1 to 10. I told it was a 9. -1 for adding stuff without asking first.

I don't care about keeping the numbers so that simplifies things. Do you know if I can get the SIMGLW416Q sim card from a Sprint store?

Steps if I understand everything correctly.

!. Purchase two Motorola E4's from Amazon
2. Purchase two AT&T GoPhone byod sim cards
3. Purchase two Sprint SIMGLW416Q sim cards.
4. This is where I'm unsure. Do I put the AT&T GoPhone sims in the Motorola E4's and activate them so I get a phone number? Or can I get a phone number without placing the sims in a phone?
5. Port numbers over to sprint for this deal.

TIA

I'm currently using my iphone 7 on Sprint with this free unlimited plan... and I bought an iphone SE from BB.

I want to use the iphone SE instead of current iphone 7.

How to swap the device?

Anyone could give me step by step instructions?

Thanks
Go to mysprint.sprint.com, log in, choose menu "mysprint" - "manage devices" - "activate new device", then chat or call from there. I tried filling up info there but still have to call to get a rep do thr swapping for me. The original plan and the phone number keep the same - just a device change.

I didn't want to jinx it or invalidate something so I didn't try referrals or AA. I think I'll try it now I guess.

Make sure the Moto is unlocked version, goto sprint website to verify that it's eligible
link [sprint.com]

You need Sprint SIMGLW236C for your Moto E4.
Put AT&T sim in your MOTO to activate the new line with AT&T GoPhone first then Sprint sim when you port in to Sprint.
