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?
This message helped me to get my s5 signed up. Took more than 1 try though and swapping my redpocket from cdmas to cdmav. Sprint chat is useless, go with calling in. Phone was listed as ineligible online throughout the entire process.
Quote from zorbas1 View Post :
I was able to get my Samsung Galaxy S4 (originally a Sprint phone) to work with this deal.
This is how I did it.
1. Called the Sprint phone number in the wiki. They originally told me my phone was ineligible.
2.Next they sent me to a tech I was told the phone was ineligible because the phone was PLBL (third part MVNO) Sprint said they had no way to change the phone to SPSC to work on the Sprint network. They said it would require flashing the phone.
3. I called Ting the last carrier the phone was registered to and asked them to switch the designation from PLBL to SPSC. This was completed in 30 seconds. No flashing required.
4. I called back Sprint and again asked them to activate the phone. Again they first told me the phone was ineligible. I told the rep to ask a supervisor too override it. This time when they checked they said my phone was eligible.
5. They asked if I had a SIM Card. I gave them the ICCID number of the orignal ( 4 year old ) Sprint Sim the phone came with. This Worked! I did not have to buy a new sim.
6. Next i was registering my phone for the BYOD free 1 year account. I ported out my google voice number. Be certain to unlock it first. The account number is your phone number.
7. After getting off the phone I called the porting phone number in the wiki to complete the port. Bingo it was working, free service for 1 year.
8. This entire process was complete in about 2 hours and 30 minutes from initial call to having free service. Good Luck!

Yeah, for me, Sprint activation process is much more pain than a root-canal procedure.
He also told me the taxes and fees that we pay are per account (and not per line), so even with 5 lines the taxes and fees would be the same as 1 line. Can anyone confirm this?
