Quote from ArtVanderlay :
For those who picked up sim cards at sprint stores how much were they charging you?

I checked a couple stores and the only one who would sell me a sim wanted 10 bucks even though they're only $2.99 on the website. I know you can get them at BB but would be nice if you could get them at the sprint store for cheaper in case BB is out.
I got almost 6 sim cards at various time. They gave it for free. I think it matter whether the sprint store you are going is a corporate store or a franchise store.

So if you currently have this plan, could you add more lines past the 7/31 deadline?

I'm trying to get Sprint to unlock some phones on a paid account, and they are telling me that their system won't allow them to do the unlocking if there's a balance on the account. Has anyone ever heard of that?

X2. I've read this thread a few times and recall someone mentioning sprint allowing you to lease a new phone at some point, anyone know when you're eligible and able to retain the promotional service?

One rep told me that and I told her I had some phones unlocked previously the she transferred me to unlock dept and got phones unlocked. So try again there is no such thing the system will allow it if you get willing rep.

I currently have a moto e (2nd gen) on ting CDMA. I also bought the moto g5+ from amazon on prime day. I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep my ting phone number, but switch over to this plan using the new g5+ that is currently unused. Can anyone help?

EDIT: forgot to add that I have an unused AT&T sim I can pop into the G5+ to switch over to first if necessary ($10 minimum top-up required for this route).

with free account?

Just sharing. I'm an existing customer that made referrals and just got the email I've got GC on the way for referrals I made for this plan. So those ppl should be getting their GC.

If u are only this BYOD plan, u would not be able to make referrals. Or at least I'm pretty sure they won't honor it.
