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.

I received the sim card and went to sprint.com/activatenow ...entered details and got error message. I'm not sure what to do, because the info I typed in was correct..

"We're sorry. This information doesn't match our records. Please double-check your information and try again"

edit: called the number included with the sim 866-782-8777 and it took them 35 minutes, but i think the port is in process and the account set up. Not sure why online activation is/was failing for me.

You did try ##UPDATE# right?
yes. First it wouldn't accept it as a valid number to dial at all. Then after clearing and resetting everything it ran, but reported failed a couple seconds later.

Finally I got 5 lines in with new iPhone SE I got from BestBuy deal.
Initially, I applied 2 lines with my old phones.
Got 3 iPhone SEs from BestBuy deal $2.5/month with 3 new lines on different plan (same account).
I upgraded to get 2 more. I ported them all out except the BYOD lines. Ported my lines to T-moile, and ported to Sprint.
It's required some work, but everyone in the family got new iPhone for cheap and 1 year almost free plan.
I was not able to get the iphones ported over, but my older note 4s were able to so I'm fine with that. The best buy phones can be sold for a profit. Even when I spoke with Marci she told me she was not able to move the iphones since they were bought from best buy on the same account.

Did you have any snags with doing it with those phones?

What kind of Note 4s did you to port over? I wondered if it would be possible to bring a Verizon Galaxy S5 to Sprint. Any idea if that would work?

I brought over two note 4s from Ting. I had to move them to tmobile first though. I tried when this deal first came out last month and they told me no, and wasted like 4 hours of my time before I learned about the pre paid swaps.

Forgive my ignorance, or if I'm missing something covered in prior posts, but what are "the pre paid swaps"?

No. If it is the unlocked S8+, you can activate it just fine. But you will need to bring a qualifying phone number over to qualify.

Gotcha - thanks for the reply! I'm currently on Verizon (old galaxy s4) so i think i fit the criteria for porting over. The more i read, seems like after i receive my SIM from the online verification process, activating via phone shouldnt be an issue, correct?

I haven't gone through the process, but that sounds correct.
