If you look under add services, it should show phone and number. Otherwise it takes a few days to show under dashboard

Going to be the E4 @ bestbuy, I got them to pricematch Amazon for $99.99 (the prime version with ads)

You would need a specific simcard for this though, which I have an extra one coming to So cal tomorrow.

Just got my two referral reward cards in the mail. Does anyone know if the last 4 digits of the card will work as a PIN with these in order to purchase a money order?

Deactivate the sprint phone and see if it works in eligibility checker. If it passes then you can open the account or line with it. Otherwise you need to find a phone on the list to open the line then you can swap it with the sprint phone.

Yes or it could be right after you port to Verizon.

I think I signed up for the sims online the same day I ported to Verizon then I received the sims two days later since it was a Sunday when I signed up.
ported iP7+ out to VZ. checked eligibility for number and phone and looks like i'm good!

  1. Purchased an unlocked Moto E4 from BestBuy, pricematched to Amazon [amazon.com] for $99.99 + tax. (Yes this is the Prime Ad Version, they still did it [imgur.com])
  2. Purchased a SIM Card SIMGLW416Q from Twigby using this link [twigby.com] and selecting LG V20 as per ECartman's suggestion. $2.99 + tax. (This took 4 business days to arrive by USPS mail.)
  3. Created a Google Voice number, using a real phone (non MVNO..borrowed my friend's number for the text, and then removed it) and then followed the guide to unlock the phone for $3.00:
    1. Go to https://www.google.com/voice/b/0/unlock and unlock your Google Voice number, which will cost $3 and is payable online by card
    2. Set a voicemail pin here https://www.google.com/voice/b/0#...ilsettings - you will need this pin in order to finish the porting
  4. Called Sprint's PROMO Line @ 866-782-8777 and gave my IMEI from phone, ICCID from SIM, and GV Number. The GV Account number is the 10-digit phone number, and the PIN is your voicemail PIN.
  5. Added automatic bill pay with my debit card, to make sure I receive the discount.
  6. Immediately after I hung up, I checked my Google Voice Legacy page for Number Status [google.com] and it changed to: Unlocked(Approved[1]) [imgur.com]
  7. Received 2 emails from sprint: Your Phone is Activated & Welcome to Sprint eBill - Account#
  8. After 20 minutes went to check status at Sprint Port Page [sprint.com] which said I needed to call 866-437-1818 [imgur.com].
  9. Called 866-437-1818: After checking system she mentioned it was "future dated" and asked if we want to activate device today. I said yes. Waited 30 seconds for number to activate, and another 30 seconds to activate device.
  10. Received Email : Manage your account at sprint.com
  11. Opened Phone, Put in battery + sim, and rushed through setup. Phone initially popped up INVALID SIM, so I turned off, reseated it, and rebooted, to have a working phone, which the rep called me on.
  12. Followed the instructions in the Manage account email to Create a My Sprint profile.

For Curiosity, this is what the GV Page now looks like [imgur.com] & CLIENT_ONLY [imgur.com] and the Sprint Port Checker [imgur.com] less than 20 minutes after the initial call.

Update: After 30 minutes I received an email from Google: Your Google Voice number has been ported away from Google Voice [imgur.com]

Update 2 : After 90 minutes I received another Sprint Email: Sprint Account Notice for XXXXX [imgur.com] and it looks like the phone has been successfully added on correctly to my new account [imgur.com].

Edit: To clarify, there's a couple additional savings, including getting a referral for the $50 GC that could have been done, but I'll be happy if this works. It looks like you have to wait 48 Hours to start referring people however [imgur.com].

Double Edit: I have terrible credit, tons of delinquent crap, 500 score, and was denied via letter by Sprint about a week ago, just to open an account in the store.

If I do this deal over the phone, do the phones need to be activated by 7/31 in order to be eligible for the promotion?
