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.

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.

To anybody in the Baltimore area I wouldn't go with sprint if you can afford it. It's free now so it's cool. But I have T-Mobile too and it blows sprint away. And I know people with Verizon who are happy too. Ask anybody about sprint around here and they'll tell you how bad the service is. I ported a unused line over to use with an iPhone I keep in my car for the iPod controls so I can search the web and stream music. Been doing speed test and looking at Sprint coverage map they are way behind the competition. And the process for switching between phones is ridiculous when others, don't know about Verizon, allows you to just switch SIM cards. After the free year is up I'm dropping sprint and just using T-mobile bing on. On T-Mobile and Verizon I've gotten speed test results of over 140 MBs inside a warehouse. The highest on sprint so far has been 29 outside but I've mostly been below the mid teens, single digits with no service in my house where T-Mobile gives me 50 mbs. But getting Tidal for 6 months for free is nice though, even though searching for songs is a mess. And used sprint phones are way cheaper then anybody else. And I've told maybe 10 people about this deal and I'm the only one to take advantage of it. That should tell you something. Now if Verizon was giving away a free year......

If you port out before day 3, they should refund you your activation fee but you will be charged for 2 days of service minimum and if you don't suspend with reduced billing before porting out, they may try to charge you for the entire month. If you suspend with reduced billing before porting out, the service charges should be prorated.

Wouldnt suspending the line cause a red flag with Sprint on getting this deal?

My concern with signing up with a prepaid carrier that some are trying successfully is that later Sprint may go back & go thru their database to find where people came from & see the prepaid carriers, then hit folks with a huge bill saying they did not live up to the terms of the deal. I really dont want that concern. maybe its unfounded, but after dealing with Ringplus, I am on guard with everyone & want to make sure there is no wiggle room for Sprint to get out of giving me the service for Free.

In current terms i dont see anything about limiting this to postpaid. I switched google number. I was asked what is mine provider and i said google so i didn't lie. Phone and number passed eligibility checking. It is not going to be that easy for sprint to charge you back. They can cancel your service anytime but this is different story

Don't get smart. I was letting people know my experience in my area, backing it up with unscientic data. I didn't just say they suck in a general way. I also gave the good side by mentioning Tidal and the low cost of their phones.

My IMEI wasn't passing the eligibility test last night after I ported from Sprint to Ting for the iPhone SE deal. Do I need to port out from Ting to say T-Mobile/H20? Or is it a wait 24 hour thing?

Very little chance of me miraculously getting smart all of the sudden. Too late for me.

After a phone is set up & running on this deal, if you get another phone that takes the exact same SIM Card type, would Sprint know you changed phones if you just put the working SIM card into another phone?

There is no reason at all to think that and if that penalty isn't explicitly spelled out in the T&C, they would not have a legal basis for charging it.

I don't think you understand why Sprint is doing this. They are doing it because it is a lot cheaper for them to offer free service than for them to pay off people's phones or ETFs when they switch. This promotion grows their postpaid subscriber numbers cheaply at a time when they want to beef their postpaid subscriber numbers up so that they will be valued higher for a merger.

SIM swaps don't work on Sprint.
