I set the account with great difficulty.
Unlocked IPhone and google nexus 5 previously on ring plus. On online it showed both phones ineligible. Iphone last month showed as stolen and online it showed ineligible after telling the rep now they say it is eligible but nexus 5 is still not. Seems like that's registered in Sprint network as prepaid.
Now, i tried to port active lte freedom number since people said they had success. Told fep that it's att mvno prepaid. But she want to confirm that with att for account number.
If anyone who have done porting from freedompop please tell me how you ported and how it was successful.
Now only account creation was successful. Any idea how long they hold the account?
If freedompop is not possible, which way yippy guys get the port in?
It was not ported for a couple of days. Had to call porting dept at (877) 503-3269 to push it through.
Did you successfully activate your Moto-E2...???
I and a couple of other people are asking if these 'Prepaids' are eligible for swap after the free line is set up..
The ownership flag must also be flipped to SPCS.
IME, the swappa ESN checker is unreliable for the FED.
It's all about local Sprint coverage. If you're in a populated city, expect slow speeds. But free is free!
There is the FED check and then there is the inventory flag.
Have you used the phone on Boost long enough to clear the FED flag and have Boost unlock it?
If so, it'll work w/o issues.
How else do you expect to port a number if you refuse to identify yourself as the account owner?
All FP numbers are VoIP numbers. The CDMA lines have underlying Sprint numbers assigned, but those are not used for calling. The GSM lines don't have numbers assigned, IIRC. The numbers given to customers are VoIP.
Register and purchase a SIM on the website today and you're fine.
Sprint currently has about 18 different kinds of SIM cards (and that doesn't include discontinued SIMs).
Order from the website if you want ease of use. If you try to buy from a store, you're on your own.
If you register and order the SIM on the website today you should be fine as you'll have an account in the system.
Your plan is your plan. If there is an extension, the new plan will be under a new SOC code which would be different than what you have.
Pre or post doesn't matter. Underlying network does.
Sprint will give free SIMs to current customers who are switching devices on an existing line. Sprint does not hand out free SIM cards to non-customers. Sprint's stance is that if you want a SIM, it is available for purchase.
Apple will give out free SIM cards for Apple devices because it is serving Apple customers, but those SIMs pretty much only work on Apple devices.
Speed is all about location. Sprint in NYC and SF is slow. You're lucky to get 1mbps. Out in less populated areas you can get better speeds.
Yup. This promo is not a moneymaker for Sprint. It's all about sub numbers for the financials.
If you have an eligible phone in hand, just purchase from the promo website.
Most of the SIM confusion and issues are caused by people trying to save a few bucks, who then end up spending hours on the quest for a "free" SIM.
There is no contract for the free plan. Switch whenever you want.
Both TMO and Sprint will give you a free SIM to enable you to swap to a new device if you are a current customer.
This is not true if you are a customer. TMO happily provides free SIMs to existing customers if needed.
Yeah, hour plus is about right if you do the phone thing. Web is so much faster.
Is the Moto E listed as an eligible device for this promo?
Oh and when I called back to speak to another rep... she confirmed that they were extending the promo through August...
Up 'til now, my old/original profile for My Sprint account still screwed up...!!!
Just chat w/ the Rep, he advised to create a new profile (w/ a new username), since the old/original profile/username is gone, for good. As he explained, there is no way to retrieve the customers' corrupted profile/username.
Now, I can login w/ my new profile/username, however, I can neither see my billing/balance nor make some changes on my account.
Anyone has the same issue...???

I'm getting mixed info from different sources and multiple Sprint reps:
1. If you activated on 7/20/17 or later, your free plan will be extended until 9/30/18
2. If you activated on 7/31/17 or later, your free plan will be extended until 9/30/18
3. If you activated on 8/X/17, your free plan is good until 7/31/18
4. If you activated on 8/X/17, your free plan is good until 8/30/18
5. If you activated on 8/X/17, your free plan is good until 9/30/18
As for me, I signed up on 7/29/17 over the phone and made sure the rep confirms 9/30/18 expiration date multiple times throughout the whole process, but my plan says 7/31/18 after everything was said and done. (yes mad)
So, does anyone have data point on this 9/30/18 fine print at all?

Yesterday when I initially created my account it would only loop back to the dashboard not allowing for any modifications.... and today, it allows me to modify services.. but insurance isn't among the options.... it's very weird... and yes the insurance still shows up under my plan details... so I guess I will just check back in a few hours to see if any other options start showing up...
