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.

I've exhausted all strategies to obtain an inexpensive iPhone and also a cheap $89 refurbished Moto 4 for this deal ... and now there's only two days left!

Therefor, I plan to buy a new unlocked Moto E for $129 (16GB) from Amazon Prime with one day shipping (phone is ad free. Perhaps later on I can find a cheap iPhone deal and then sell the Moto E).I currently use Cricket so will use that number to port. (I'll also need to put in a request to my credit reporting agencies to unfreeze my accounts).

Regarding the SIM: what steps do I need to do to be eligible for the BYOP deal? Do I need to have the SIM on hand when signing up for the BYOP deal, or can I sign up and get the deal first and then later obtain the SIM?

So much SIM confusion ... can someone quickly recap the quickest/cheapest way to obtain the SIM for this phone, and exactly which SIM to use?

Thanks a bunch!

Am I allowed to switch back to my old carrier? I am on the 1 year free plan and Sprint service is horrendous at home and at work.

Was anyone able to sign up today and get the free plan extended to 9/30/18 per updated promo page?

I talked to 5 reps to no avail, but the last rep on phone and chat rep told me I would get 14 months free but my plan says I only get until 7/31/18....

Too tired to call them now... been on phone for 3 hours already

This is what I did, based on info in the Moto E4 phone thread: bought the Boost Mobile BYOD SIM Kit, SKU 5887020 [bestbuy.com] for $10. The kit has 3 SIMs in it, SIMOLW416Q which works with the Moto E4, and SIMOLW506C which works with iPhone 6S (at least). No idea which phones the last SIM SIMOLW506TQ is compatible with. Several people have said you can get a SIM from the Sprint store as well, so you may try your luck there (I didn't bother).

If you have your own SIM, you will not able to go through the sign-up process online, so be prepared to spend 45 minutes or so with Sprint on the phone to go through the activation. Keep your porting info handy - account number and PIN (if required) from Cricket.

If you order your SIM from Sprint, you can go through the process online, but you may run out of time if you don't have your SIM on-hand by the 31st.

A nearby BestBuy has the Moto E unlocked for the same price, so I'm just going to pick it up today at the store.
BTW, what's the process of ordering the SIM from Sprint? Cost & delivery time?

Sprint's corporate store in my neighborhood sucks...they want $10/each. Frown
A few years ago with T-mobile, I had switched to a phone requiring a nano. I took the old and new phones to the downtown T-Mobile store expecting to be charged until the guy said, "It's on the house". Those are the kind of good faith, good karma gestures we need more of these days.

Can you show me where you're seeing the $99 price for the Amazon Ads version?
I have Prime and I'm seeing $129 for both the Ad and Ad-Free versions ... the only difference is I'd get one day shipping on the phone with Ads.

To help you expediting the process - as not much time left, pls ensure you get the right/correct SIM for Moto-E4...which is "SIMOLW416Q" (Sprint's SKU No: 760492035279). Well, I wasted a couple of days to re-roder the correct SIMs.

Good lucks...!!!

Anyone who signed up recently able to get this promo extended until 9/30/18 instead of 7/31/18 before full pricing kicks in?

Not sure if the 9/30/18 language is always on the promo page, but I'm getting mixed answers from 5 different reps.

Sprint's chat people keep telling me I have to order a new SIM even though I picked one up from the store.... do I just need to ignore that and call the phone number and use the SIM I already have? Also, a sprint phone that my sister used to use is showing up as eligible... and it already has a sprint sim in it...can I reuse the SIM?

I'm going to head out in a few minutes to BB.
I just requested temporary unfreezes from all three credit reporting agencies.

OK, so the plan is to buy the Moto E (and try to get $99 price match) at BestBuy. Then I'll try to get a free SIM at a Sprint store, and if they seems like too much of a hassle I'll buy the Boost Mobile SIM kit at BB.

Then what do I do?
I'm porting a line from Cricket (where I use an old Moto G).
Do I need to insert the SIM into the Moto E? Do I need to bother with getting the Moto E activated on my Cricket account? Or do I just need my Cricket info (PIN#, account #, etc.) and Moto E phone identification number and speak to a Sprint CSR?
