Is it possible for an existing customer to open a new account under another person's name (wife) to get in on this deal? I want to port our numbers out to Tmobile for a few days (I have an account) and then back to Sprint for this promo under my wife's name. Would Sprint recognize that that numbers were active on Sprint within the past week?

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 answered lot of question in this thread but the amount of idiotic questions coming from people in this thread made me question the foundation of the US education systemLMAO

Personally if I dont know something, I will do some background search on Google or the thread first instead of asking everything single thing that pop in my mind.

You can't open it but she can. The account would be in her name and she would be legally responsible for the bill although you could be an account manager.

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?
The reps give different answers some say you can do it no problem, others say it will boot you off of the free plan. If you do it, be sure and post back here to let us know what happened.

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, .
Yep, that person just got lucky. There is no way you would get them for free from my Best Buy.

I would hate to be the guinea pig but I'm sure someone has already tried it. Well the worst case scenario is 5 lines for $90 which is what we're on currently. Right?

Need appointment at apple store?
You certainly can do that or you call make an appointment with Tim Cook and he might personally delivery you your Sprint sim for you...worship

For me, I just walk in the store and grab someone from the store and tell them I want to switch to Sprint and dont want to wait for the SIM card arrive and ask whether they can give me a SIM.

You're wrong about that, lots of people have asked but no one has posted about doing it yet. When you do it be sure and let us know what happens. Thanks.

Yes, I've done it. 2 of my 4 lines were the same numbers that I had on Sprint a week ago. They don't seem to check, since they're being ported from somewhere other than Sprint.

My fifth line, which unfortunately is also my main number, isn't working though. The IMEI give them and error and they say it's locked, but it isn't. They checked and acknowledged that it is a Sprint phone that they've unlocked, but still insist that it has been locked by another carrier. It hasn't. I don't know why it shows up that way in their system.

No risk in losing free plan, online wizard would never work for me, had to chat with rep & of course you'll get a random number in the zipcode requested.
Hopefully you got the referral $50 prepaid cards with signup, that makes this a Money Maker from my quick mental calculations!
