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.

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 think so. I checked first thing this morning and it said "Hurry! Offer ends 7/31/17", and it now just says "Hurry, limited time offer."

So, they removed the expiration date on this, which is super common for Sprint. They'll unceremoniously end it in a few days/weeks, probably.

Quote from flaxman85 :
I'm mainly interested in those who activated the offer on or after 7/28/18 (IIRC) because that was when the 9/30/18 fine prints started show up on the promo page.

If anyone has expiration date of 9/30/18 instead of 7/31/2018 on their plan details page, I would like to know how you went about getting that.
I signed up 2 phones before 7/28, and 2 more on 7/29. I have a printout from the website from 7/28 showing the 9/30/18 expiration. I can't find my agreement on the website (I don't see Plans and Services and more + icons - seems pretty basic that you should be able to see your agreement online), so I chatted with a rep last night. Shown below is the chat transcript, where she says it will end 7/31/18. I think this is bait-and-switch. They are also saying this is a 1-year agreement, period.

Amber M. : I can see that you have activated under our free one year services on 07/29/2017.
Amber M. : So the ending date will be the same 07/29/2018 for you.
Amber M. : Till that date your services are free with us.
You : The website indicates the agreement ends 9/31/18.
You : Sorry, 9/30/18.
You : It says "Savings until 9/30/18, then .....
Amber M. : No it is 7/32/2018 on your account.
Amber M. : sorry 7/31/2017Smilie
Amber M. : sorry again the actual date is 07/31/2018.
You : I see now the website shows 7/31/18, but when I ordered this service it said 9/30/18. When did that change, and how can I see online what I signed up for?
Amber M. : Yes you have signed for unlimited plan free with 10 Gb hotspot as well till 07/31/2018.
Amber M. : It has been updated now as it takes little time to update.
You : The lady I talked to late last week even talked about the agreement being "extended", and she thought at the time it was for another month. When I signed up two other phones, it ended 8/31/18. Why is Spring shortening the length of these agreements after I sign up???
You : I printed out the website on 7/28/17 showing the 9/30/18 date.
Amber M. : Let me inform you that we are not shorting it , the system does it automatically as, it is updated with 1 year free services, it automatically takes the date on which it will expires for you. that is why it has been updated by the system.

I have two questions

1. Is the offer extension through Aug 31 2017 confirmed? The website just says Hurry offer ends soon.
2. Are MVNOs eligible? I see on the wiki someone posted the chat rep's response for H2O A(TT MVNO) as Yes but then the offer reads port-in from post paid carrier required. Its confusing?
Did anyone successfully port-in with this offer from the likes of H2O, Lyca, Ultramobile?

calling all experts of this deal:

thoughts on the below senerio:

background.
current sprint customer with "10 line 40gb shared plan"

i would like to have just 1 line FROM MY CURRENT "10 line 40gb shared plan" moved to this promo
i would like to keep the number
currently there is a samsung j3 emerge on this number ( number A)

i have a sprint LG G6 that is currently inactive
i got it for the $120 deal from BB a fews ago (~6-8 weeks ago i dont remember) and it is paid off

i checked the G6 with a neighbors tmobile number and i am getting the success screen

this is my plan:
get a new google voice number to port in,
port in the newly created GV # on the sprint lg g6 creating a new account under spouse name to get this free 1 year promo,

then, in a few days, port the number that is on the "10 line 40gb shared plan" to number barn.
then , in a few days, port the number from number barn back to the 1 year free promo


any thoughts/suggestions/ better plan will be appreciated

1. Go ahead wait as long as you can they might extend to Dec 31 2017 as well...
2. Do a quick search from the thread and you can find hundred of posts port from MVNO (FP, H2O, Google Voice, ........) basically you name any non-sprint MVNO you probably will find one post on it. And you saw the answer in wiki as well... so what your question AGAIN?

So my question is "Is kind of question really necessary?"Confused

How many time do we need to reaffirm/confirm the same thing?

please stop this nonsense.

unless there is something in writing on the promo page we do not know when this deal is scheduled to expire

do not believe what the sprint reps tell u.
they are often times clueless and sometimes just simply lie

take it from me...sprint customer ~17.5 years

I called, phone rep was useless and insisted I had to go to the local Sprint store and prove my ID. I did. At the store they just used my DL and made a copy. Had been told I would need to bring a 2nd form of ID, but the store rep never asked for it.
Weird, went to store and they said my account was fine despite receiving mail that application was incomplete, I called tech support from the store, spoke to 3 people, they all said account was fine, no issue.

You mean the thread so long because of useless comment like this?
Maybe Sprint rep doesn't know what she's talking about but she's the one that told me offer extended to 8/31 which is also posted on the front page now.

I just tried to switch an iPhone that was successfully activated with this promotion, to a non qualified Sprint phone. The agent on the phone said that I can't swap any phone in the first 4 months of this promotion. If I do, my promotion will be removed. I asked what if my phone is lost or stopped working, he said the protection plan that was required to be added when i first signed up would take care of this problem. So, does anyone know if we can swap a phone without affecting this plan?
Thank you.
