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.
Can I cancel after the first year?
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.

No that is self referral. Your friend needs to open his own account then you and him might get $50 each.

You will get $50 only if you opened 2nd line within 7 days of account opening, your friend gets $0.
Thank you! I checked terms and conditions of this referral program. it only says "4 Reward:
As a referrer or referee, you can receive $50 reward for each new line activation up to $500 per calendar year. " Is the "within 7 days" a not shown term?

Quote from Nick6280 :
I was able to port in a Verizon iPhone 6s with no issue but when I tried to swap my Moto X Pure (different line) with a different Verizon iPhone 6s it would not let me do it online. Can they do it via chat?

Question: Once a phone is whitelisted will it remain that way from here on out even of it is deactivated and activated on a different line later on down the road?
Quote from ayanster :
I have done two Sprint deals earlier this year, one shipped to home and one I did in store (actually bought in store, not just a pick up). I got the phone home unopened in both cases and activated with VZ SIM. In both cases the phones were already added to my Sprint account and operational when I put the Sprint SIM in after the VZ SIM. So I don't think you need to worry.

Worst case, if you have to whitelist, just go back to the Sprint BYOD offer page and pretend to sign up with that phone's IMEI and any non Sprint phone number and go through the first 2 steps till you have to enter in contact information. I am finding that completing those first two steps whitelists the device (if eligible of course) and it becomes available through the online portal when you go to swap the device.
Quote from Verniculous :
dunno. It just depends on if Sprint added the Verizon IMEIs to their whitelist or not.
Went ahead with the VZ SIM for the 7s+ and went through setup. Ordered the GSX report so we will see. Once I confirm unlock I will activate phone on current Sprint acct.

Speaking of, what is the best way to go about activating the new phone / line on sprint? Since I already went through setup with VZ SIM, do I just pop in the sprint SIM or do I need to reset phone and do setup again with sprint SIM?

Quote from rkg111 :
The only thing that kept me from leaving the Tmobile $30 was you get Hotspot (included as part of your 5gig allowance). None of the other no-contract plans from Cricket, Att, Tmobile offer that with out an extra charge. Att $40 6gb unlimited talk seems like the next best thing. I guess I'll cross that bridge a year from now.
3 years ago a Tmobile sales guy told me to hang on to it as if it was the best deal ever. It was apparently for new customers only, not existing. But that was 3 years ago when 5gig seemed enormous. That was also when Verizon was telling me the average person used 2.5 gig. Things might be different now. I can blow through 5 gigs in a week. There seems to be a lot more video oriented stuff now. You could be dead a year from now so I'd say worry about finding something close to your $30 5gig plan a year from now. Also back then, there weren't much of any $40 5 to 10 gig plans from Cricket, at&t, MetroPCS, etc,

Sprint is a piece of work.

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...
Have you tried dialing ##UPDATE# on the phone?

how likely is it that i will need to go down that route for whitelist? outlier and rare or fairly common? and if i need to go down that route is it quick for sprint to do? kinda running against time for the byod!
Those phones are already whitelisted. Nothing to worry about.

Didn't work for me. I will just initiate a chat later today. Phone passed eligibility check but I still get a message that they can't swap when trying to change devices. I made sure to turn both devices off before clicking Activate.

Edit: Was able to successfully swap a Verizon iPhone onto my existing line via chat.

Decided to give Sprint a try. Coming from T-Mobile.

Service is terrible. Call quality is bad and lte speeds are all over the place but generally slow in NYC.

Best part, got my bill for 7/21 to 7/21.

1 day $3.46

What kind of bs is that?

I'm having the same exact experience, but I'm gonna stick it out because $4 for service is hard to beat. I barely use data or make phone calls.

I have a brand new unlocked iphone SE purchase from Cricket Wireless. However, the sprint IMEI checker is saying the device was reported lost or stolen. How could this be?

If you read the T&C you should also see:
Customers on BYOD 1YearFree plan are NOT eligible for Sprint Referral Rewards program.LMAO

So the only thing you should do is simply sign up and cross your finger and stop asking useless question based on T&C
Since you are already NOT eligible based on the T&C

It's other way for me. I also ported my # from T-mobile and observing better service than T-mobile. Happy with it.
