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.

I have a Verizon A1662 currently active on Sprint (Ting). Did it 4 days ago. Not sure where you're getting information that they won't do it. It doesn't have B41, but it absolutely works. The store needs to have someone with DNA2 access to add it. It's a really easy process once you find someone who knows what they're doing.

Even the Sprint website lists the iPhone SE as eligible for the plan. I think I trust you and the website more Wink

The iPhone SE is listed as eligible on the Sprint 1 year free website. Where's YOUR proof?

All of the amazing speed tests you see posted at /r/Sprint and on Sprint's own forums are very likely Band 41. It's not a deal breaker if you're not obsessed with speed. Any tower with decent backhaul is going to be able to deliver content to you very fast on Band 25 and Band 26, which the Verizon SE definitely has.
That was amazing speed alright! I did at least 100 speed tests using fast.com from West GA to the center of Atlanta. The slowest speed I got was 22 Kbps, which is less than half the speed of a dial up modem! This was on a major highway (I-20). There were several miles were the average speed was around 500 Kbps. I did see 9Mbps a few times on the trip. When I was in Villa Rica, I saw 13Mbps once or twice. I tried Speedtest.net to compare and the best was 13Mbps up and down. I have only used 2Gb total so far, so have not been "deprioritized" yet. This was using a brand new Moto E4 phone.

I need to try this at work. With my Freedompop Samsung tablet I getting about 25Mbps down.

Something has changed during the weekend?
I checked an iPhone 7 with FreedomPop last Friday and it passed the test on the web site. I try again today and it failed. FreedomPop no longer works?

"LiterallyUnlimited " who you replied to work for Ting and I think he mentioned he used to Sprint before...

He have been helping a lot of people (included me )to flip the MVNO flag so people can use the Phone with this deals! So he certainly a lot knowledgeable than you.. who in every reply shows you know nothing about what you talk about shake head

He bought a prepaid phone but activated with a postpaid SIM. The postpaid SIM must have been from another source.

Easiest way is to ask for one at an Apple Store. They'll give them to you for free.

You can get them from Apple store for free, if you have one around you.. or a buck or so on eBay (used work just as well as new for iPhone activation)..

Not true.

I am in DFW, had Sprint for over 10 years. Sprint speeds on band 25/26 are about 2Mbps/day <5Mbps /night where I am 9same location day and night) and usually around 2-5Mbps out and about during the day.

When I get band 41, it usually is only for 4 blocks and I can park there and get near 15Mbps during the day.

Sprint might have some high speed spots, I have yet to find any... and ping times are always high.

Oh, and sporting events, can't even load web pages on 4g/lte, I have to go to 3g to load anything or send imessages.

Sprint roaming is also a joke, on this new plan, my roaming is at 3g speeds (or 2g, not sure as I can not get anything to load while roaming off sprint).

Just to be clear there are no "postpaid sims" and "prepaid sims as such, only "Sprint sims". Any sim obtained from Boost or Virgin or an MVNO or Sprint or anywhere else can be used on Sprint proper, or its prepaid brands or on any Sprint MVNO . There is only the one type of undifferentiated Sim.

However the IMEI's of the phones themselves do have flags and locks for Prepaid versus Sprint postpaid. But the sim ICCID's do not.

I thinkthere was an early question about the possibility of using a galaxy S5 but I haven't found a specific answer. Does anyone know if it would be possible to use a Verizon Galaxy S5 for this deal? If so, would a particular sim card type be needed? I have a T-Mobile iPhone SE and an unlocked Moto G4 Play active on this already with the SIMOLW506C sim.

Do phones added to an already set up account with a ported over Verizon phone have to be ported as well? Or can they be new phones? Thanks.
