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.

Did the transfer succeed? Tried one ringto number and said it qualified.

I just added 2 more lines by calling. Ported 1 line from Freedompop and 1 line from RingTo. Still waiting for the transfer.

That CS is wromg. It should be $5 + tax,fees. Then $5 credit for auto pay.
No, they added temporary account for me and was about to be billed 45$ and after payment will get 36$ in Credits. I escalated issue to Marci who cleared my bill completely, I had to pay 0$ for first month (they cancelled my first bill/credits,etc. and now my first bill says due by 7/15 - 0$)

Verizon Wireless - Has anyone actually tried signing up for a new plan there, let it stay open for 24 hours, then do this online free sprint deal? If so, did Verizon Wireless, refund all your money? Or were there charges? If so, how much? Thanks (I have searched this thread & have not found anyone who has actually done it)

I did but I was a little late ported out 3 days after only by an hour after midnight. They charged me $30 activation and some fees but I still have account with them. I chatted to get $30 activation fees waived since it was BOYD.

CellNuvo shows Sprint MNVO for me at https://www.twilio.com/lookup . It literally says - "Carrier:Sprint Spectrum, L.P."

The number is not eligible when I input at sprint.com/1yearfree
Correct. They can force it though if they know what to do. Like I wrote, it worked for me. If you want to go easier, have no service on the phone and just use a Google voice number to port. I also did that.

What do you see when you run your locked SE on swappa? https://swappa.com/esn

Blacklisted Not Indicated
This device does not appear to be globally blacklisted.
Activation Status Clear
Device appears to be activation ready.
Financed Financial Eligibility
Device is not eligible for resale (financed).

Does activation clear mean it's unlocked? Just shows financed which shouldn't be the case because I paid my phone off .

Anyone that tried to order an upgrade from bestbuy, they will not let the order go through unless you change your plan.

The order won't go through and you can cancel it.

Just a heads up for anyone that was trying to get a bestbuy deal to stack with this Frown

Check on the Ting BYOD checker to see if FED status is clear. The Swappa checker doesn't seem to be 100% reliable (works sometimes, other times it doesn't).

Thanks for the reply. Just to clarify, if i have a friend who has sprint can i have them purchase a Sprint Iphone SE from Best Buy (on a Payment Plan for $2.49 a month) give it to me and use it when i port my verizon phone number over?

I appreciate your response and dont want to bother my friend if this will not work.

Thanks again.

My unlocked one says it's ready to be activated (add a line ordered 6/29)

The two in process says there's unpaid balance (upgrades ordered 7/1)

All these phones are paid off at same time.

I got the same issue, but finally get my Moto G4 work after some tries. The key is to set the correct Sprint APN for Moto G4.

Here is my procedures:
1. Remove the Sprint SIM card and insert any GSM SIM card (T-Mobile, ATT or FreedomPop)
2. Go to Settings - More - Cellular networks - Carrier settings, you will see APN there!
3. Click APN then delete all the APNs already in the page.
4. Click the "+" button to add a Sprint APN ( APN: cinet.spcs), then save it.
5. Choose the Sprint APN and leave settings.
6. Remove the GSM SIM and insert the Sprint SIM.
7. Drink a cup of coffee then enjoy the LTE.

Hopefully it works for you.

You are the man! I was messing with a nexus 6 for like 40 minutes trying to get off 3g. Did as you instructed and boom, LTE.
