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.

Quote from wildrags :
There is separate offer when you link Sprint and credit union. You are likely to get minimum $100 CU account credit for first line and $50 for each additional ported line. But you will need to link Sprint and CU accounts (or open one new CU account), payment will be made after 45 days.
Please follow this link and this is YMMV. Give it a try if you want to: LoveMyCreditUnion.org/SprintRewards
I got denied saying my account does not qualify. But you can always try.

"If you would like to get a SIM locally to save time and $10 shipping you have to call the Promo number @ 866-782-8777 to set up service and activate your line."

Noob questions here. Sorry if these were already asked, but this thread is getting unwieldy.

I have the approved unlocked phone, porting a number from Verizon MVNO. If I call this number to get the SIM card locally to save the $10 shipping fee, am I technically registering for this promo via the phone, possibly making me ineligible? Should I buy my SIM from the Sprint store locally and then register both online via the promotion website? Would that be better? Thanks in advance...
My recommendation would be to get the card Sprint online is selling through the deal. If you have anything go wrong then you are on the phone and it turns into an 8 hour ordeal waiting to find the right CS rep to help you.

Adhering to the instructions here will increase your chances of success, or at least a way to save time.

In DFW, My middle of the night (3-5AM) highs are upwards of 4Mbps. I do not think there are that many users at 3-5AM. Sprint is just bad.
Dang, really? What speeds do you get 8am-5pm and what phone are you using?

I got 5 lines, the max I was eligible for. I only got one $100 credit union reward and one $50 referral. Anyone had any luck reversing a denial from CU Solutions Group/Sprint? Tried calling the Sprint # they gave me, and they gave me yet another # to call. How do you get multiple referral credits? Is there anything to do before activation? I am asking because I now need to cancel a line so that I can add a new line with a new device on installment billing (the iphone SE). I don't know why I was able to get the one $100 reward, since they were all the same and I don't know what I did differently (it was the first line). I am also considering staying on the paid plan for 6 weeks until I qualify for the credit union reward and then doing the process to switch over to BYOD/free if that is still running.

Anyone know which sim I need to purchase for the unlocked galaxy s8+? The store wont sell it to me as they said they need to add it to an account and that promotion is not in stores. I am trying to add it as a 2nd line on an existing account.

Coworker signed up for this. He said his tmobile in 3g HSPA+ mode was faster than Sprint 4g.is but free is free.

Sprint S8+ uses SIMOLW416Q. Probably SIMGLW416Q would work too (it is equivalent).

Converted 5 Lines from T-mo, Republic, and MetroPCS to this plan. It was a huge headache to do over the phone even though I had all the information needed to port on hand.

They managed to mess up the MetroPCS port out and even mix up ICCID numbers on my devices.

Took almost 3 hours, a trip to the Sprint store to get new sim cards, and I almost lost my cool..

Voice quality here is awful compared to T-mobile, and speeds are abysmal at ranging from 0.5 Mbps to 3 Mbps..

Still worth it to me to save over $1200 for the year. Still slightly better than Verizon customer service.

This is one way to get market share, and maybe kill off some of the competition. Can't beat the price. Gonna research to see if we can cancel after the year is up.
