The line (service plan) is linked/tied to the device IMEI and SIM ICCID. You can use the existing SIM if it's compatible with the new device. You have to associate/pair the new device IMEI with the SIM ICCID online from your account or call Sprint to do it before you can use/activate the new device.
See above.
Keep calling until you find someone who knows how to do it. iP7 with Intel modem will not work on Sprint.
A few people have reported seeing the free plan ($5) while trying to add a new line with device installment via BB online, but none have reported successfully ordered and keeping the free line. I can't confirm this as I don't see the free plan ($5) on my wife's account when trying to add a new line via BB online. I think if you are able to complete the order and activate the new device with installment on the free plan ($5) via BB online, the order and free plan ($5) will stick unless you call Sprint and alert Marcelo Claure of the loophole.
The rep gave you wrong info. You cam swap/switch device anytime. You cannot upgrade (i.e., lease or buy a new device with installment) on the free line prior to 10/1/17.
See above.
Samsung Pay works because you are flashing with official Samsung firmware. No rooting and no custom firmware.
You can add new lines to buy the phones from BB deals anytime. Just don't upgrade your free lines.
The website is glitchy and will also time out when it's busy. Try again later.
You can swap device anytime. The new device has to be paired with the existing SIM before you can activate it. If the existing SIM is not compatible with the new device, you have to swap to a compatible SIM. You can do all this online yourself if you already have access to your account; else, you have to call Sprint to do it.
Ask Sprint to add the IMEI to the Sprint database; may take several calls as not many reps know how to do it. Flash the T-Mobile unlocked S8 to XAA firmware. You can mix and match firmware files, depending on what you want and how you want to set up your phone. All can be done quite easily if you are an advanced/experienced phone user.
For new customer only; you cannot add this offer to your existing Sprint account.
The iPhone must be inactive before you can change the MVNO flag.
You have to ask Sprint to add the IMEI (using their DNA2 tool) onto the Sprint database, then you have to pair the IMEI with the SIM ICCID on your account before you can activate/use it.
He's on vacation with his lady friends. He will be back today
You cannot upgrade the free plan/line prior to 10/1/17. I have mentioned this many times.
It will be unlocked.
You can use your existing SIM as long as it's compatible with the Sprint network and your device.
You can swap device anytime (see my comment somewhere above).
Most unlockers have the ability to "clean" the FED also for a fee. For Apple devices, Apple recently made some changes to the Apple GSX servers, where you can't SIM unlock any Apple device before the FED is clear; the unlockers are happy to comply because they are making extra $$$ from "cleaning" FED

I don't think you can get a TMobile Samsung device whitelisted by Sprint. Even though we all know the hardware is the same, Sprint won't do it because it would require flashing to make the device compatible. I have never heard of anyone getting a non-Sprint Samsung device whitelisted by Sprint.
iPhones yes, Samsungs no.
OK so they can bribe someone in Sprint with access to the DMD.
So then Apple's servers must interact with Sprint's DMD to find out FED status before issuing the SIM unlock.
