Part 1
My wife has an 800+ credit score. She ordered the SIMs and got a letter saying her credit was denied. Called them and they said she needed to go into the store and verify identity with 2 pieces of ID. The store people were completely clueless so she called the credit department number listed on the letter. To cut a long story short after 3 hours in the store and talking to the credit dept they were unable to resolve it and they ran a 2nd credit application. Which Sprint denied again for some mysterious reason. "You will receive a letter in the mail explaining why".
Took 2 hard pulls for no reason.
Part 2
I ended up applying in my name and was approved instantly. My credit score is (slightly) lower than hers. Her iphone SE was switched to Sprint and all we see is 1x or 3G coverage. 2.06 Mbps down and 0.85 down. The Sprint cell site is 300 feet away!
My T-mobile is 27.7 Mbps down and 31.9 up. (Ok the T-mobile cell site is right on top of my office building; Sprint is 2 buildings away).
I was planning to switch too but now I'm having second thoughts...
Typically, I've found it'll only be one hard pull (because it's from the same company within a specified period of time), but that doesn't help your speed tests. Remember, though, that the iPhone SE lacks Band 41, which is the super fast frequency. If you don't have that, don't expect amazing speeds.
Also, you would have to find someone whose credit was so bad that they couldn't pass a credit check even with a deposit otherwise they could open their own free line and who needed postpaid service for some reason such that a prepaid or MVNO line wouldn't work for them.
Then you would have find someone who didn't care about their privacy, didn't care that they would never have access to customer care so they wouldn't be able to troubleshoot any service issues or change their device and didn't care that they are giving up ownership of their number to a complete stranger.
Then you would have to deal with the fact that if they took their SIM out of the country, they could rack up international charges and you would have no way to know until the charges appeared on the account, which can take days to occur and by then thousands of dollars in international charges could have accumulated and you would be 100% responsible for those with no way to escape liability.
Sprint deprioritizes on a line by line basis.

If it is a Sprint phone, the fact that you are only 300 ft from the tower could be the issue, it is called the umbrella effect.
Help guys. I asked her to call me back tomorrow. Already had 2 hard credit pull!!!
all 3 of my SE passed right now although I'm not using them right now.
