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.

Was able to port in from T-Mobile prepaid to Sprint in less than 30 minutes. From the initial credit check to phone activation. I did purchase a BYOD sim card kit from my local Sprint store for 9.99. I used a Verizon Prepaid iPhone SE that was turned on for the first time with a Verizon postpaid sim, making it an unlocked phone to use on any carrier.

Is the Verizon iPhone SE from Best Buy ? Is the model # A1723 ?
I have ATT model - A1662 - It wont pass the Sprint eligibility, but had no problems swapping it later on an existing phone number, and it works fine and almost get the same speed. My iPhone 7+ ( A1661) and SE (A1662) - use band 26.

Tried to order add four verizon lines online (3 iphone 6s and 1 iphone 5s). After credit check I got a message on the cart saying too many items in cart. Chat rep indicated it could be a credit check problem and that I should try again. Not sure why I would have a credit problem since it's over 800. I tried again and got the same error. I then called customer service and they didn't know what the problem was but will send me the sim cards. Now I wasted a credit check as I am sure I will need to get it checked again when I receive the sim cards. Anyone else experience this?

Did you use the link in the OP? Did you read the wiki? Did you call the the only phone number that can handle this promo? I'm hoping you did.

Quote from Verniculous :
You need to give up. There is nothing a rep can do for you. The Verizon, TMobile and AT&T iPhone SEs cannot be whitelisted for use on Sprint. This is because they are a different model from the Sprint iPhone SE. The Sprint DMD does not have a way to allow the Verizon, TMobile and AT&T iPhone SEs onto the network.

No rep can change that fact. You need to get a different phone if you want to be on Sprint. There is no way around this.

First off. I'm not an iphone user, but this thread is filled with iphone SE questions. So confusing for SE users. Confused

After first phone is ported from Verizon to Sprint & put put on the deal, do any phones added onto the existing free account need to come from Verizon or another carrier? Or can they just be new phones. Thanks.

Searched the Wiki and the thread and didn't find the info, so I am asking this question. Can anyone from Central Florida region(Zip Code 327xx) comment on the service reliability and charges. I found charges for Miami($15) and Key West($5), but none for central Florida.

Also, I thought that this plan required you to pay full one month line charge($60) for the first month before free line plan kicks in. Is that correct? I would really appreciate the answers.

I have pay as you go T-Mobile plan($3 monthly with 10c per minute/text) with $20 left. Your answers will help me in evaluating the annual layout on Sprint plan vs other options available. TIA.

I've searched the thread and can't find an answer to this: Is there a prepaid phone that can be bought and activated on this plan (I know it may need to be signed up under a different carrier first). My wife and I both have Sprint (SERO) and get good coverage and speed in Sacramento. I would love to get a phone set up for my daughter under this plan. An iPhone would be great, or a decent Android. Thanks

Sprint, BM and VM prepaid phones won't pass the FED unless you pay an ebay unlocker to clear the FED for you.

I would take a look at used phones off of swappa:

https://swappa.com/buy/devices/sprint?type=phone

Just make sure you confirm with the seller that the device is fully paid off, not leased and that the line it was purchased on is not still under contract from buying the phone. And of course, buy from established sellers with good feedback.

You cannot get a Verizon or AT&T or TMobile iPhone SE whitelisted on Sprint like I said.

prepaid not a problem unless from sprint mvno. google voice works too.

just use the online eligibility checker. phones that are/were on sprint mvno will need to have ownership flag flipped
Thanks - follow up question: Do you need to be on the prepaid plan for a min time period? I.e. if I go open a new T-Mobile prepaid plan today I can port it over to sprint tomorrow for this offer?
