I activated 3 lines on Saturday for a total of 4 lines, but only 1 of the 3 has shown up on my account (it was added minutes after the activation). Is it unusual that other lines added at the same time aren't showing on my account?

For god sake just go to the bestbuy and ask for it if they wont give it to you for free they will chrage you la few bucks dont tell me you cant afford that
I went to 3 Best Buys over the past week. NONE of them would give out free sims unless I was signing up for a plan through their store. Obviously you just got lucky with someone, but they are inventory stock just like everything else.

Confused I am telling people they can pay for it at bestbuy I didn't said I got free sim from Bestbuy.


I got all my Free Sprint SIM in the following ways
1. Buy unlocked phone (s8 purchase)
2. Apple Store (just bring along and iPhone)
3. Sprint online sale when they are available (Got 5 of them free last year)

No point asking him, he's likely to tell you to use your brain and figure it out.

You aren't allowed to ask questions around here, according to him. Ha ha

I think the original extension was planned all along because the "one year free" promise "ending July 31, 2018" as quoted in the offer could still be met with a one month extension. In other words, in the original offer you actually got 13 free months, so it looks as if they planned all along on extending it one more month, as they would still be able to give everybody at least 12 months.

Now of course they could extend it again by changing the offer to include a later expiry date, or give late subscribers just 11 months, but I doubt they intend to, because it would be a bit of a mess. More likely, they will move on to some other promo they are planning.

I am with Ting now. If I temporarily move to H2O, and try this Sprint deal, and if it fails with Sprint eligibility check, can I just put the Sprint sim card back, and keep using the phone with Ting?

Probably I will lose my current phone number that I now have with Ting, right? I can always get one from Google and port it out, I think, and go back to Ting. It just sounds messy.

I have no idea about MVNO flag, and how to turn it off. Mine is iPhone SE from the recent deal at Bestbuy.

Ported last Sat. Today the bill is showing $3.24 for 1 line. Speed is ok, from 3Mbps to 20 Mbps, depends on which area of the city (Houston, tx). Awesome deal.

HI
I ported in 4 lines and one of the lines is considered as the main line of the account. All is good.
But I would like to change the phone number on it. Is there any impact on this deal?

Oh and you aren't?

Still dealing with this garbage. Now into my second bill cycle paying $55 instead of $5/ month. No one has been able to get me off this "temporary" plan including Marci and whoever.

CC company approved the first chageback as expected. Looks like a second one will happen too.

Contact Marci again. Maybe try a little tenderness. Oh wait. You did a charge back? NM. Good luck.
