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.

Thanks for the link, although it's still a bit unclear to me. Either I don't understand it, or some of your steps seem particular to you.

Maybe the best way to ask is, if I have to switch to an intermediate plan first, what's currently the simplest / cheapest option that will qualify for the Sprint deal?

Oh really?! There is are threads on SD with 100+posts out there about how to get SE or J3 or E4. Are these all misuse?
All these are within SPRINT's DEFINED parameters. That is not misuse. Sprint is free to set those T&C as they wish, BEFORE the sale .
And yes, I AM being patient. I have spent hours several times trying to get this straightened out as THEY promised. Every time they promise the charges will be credited within 15 min to one day,. Nothing happens. How is that being not patient?! How do you assume that I have not been RESPECTFUL? Without that they would not have even agreed to credit the charges IN WRITING.

READ, READ my post! As I wrote, I am NOT planning to use this for E4 or any other deal.

Just warning others (hundreds perhaps) not to count on the first month charges being refunded.
Either way, if they get lucky, Good for them!
If they do not, you would be happy that this prevented hundreds from 'misusing' in your words. Why are you lurking in SD threads?! Just walk into BB or Amazon and get what you want.
Quote from akhere :
Really. If you are misusing the system then have some patience and deal with them properly. They will waive the charges if they told you. But dont misuse it again for E4 if you misused for SE. If you want to then have some patience and have some respect towards agents. They will not remove charges. They will credit the charges.
Just a suggestion Smilie
If nothing is working out then they probably caught this 14 day guarantee loophole

Yes, you need to get to any plan (Verizon, Tmobile, ATT prepaid). As for which plan is cheapest you need to figure out yourself.

My ATT prepaid rout cost me $10 refill + $1.3 SIM
My Tmobile prepaid because I already have a Tmobile sim I got long time ago for $0.99, I actually didn't need to refill, just need to call Tmobile and activat SIM

Other people mention other ways Google voice, Freedompop, H20....but you are looking at a cost anywhere of $0-$15

Well, "you need to figure out yourself which is cheapest" is sort of the opposite of the whole point of this site Wink, so I wouldn't mind if some people who know more than me chime in.

Thanks for mentioning those options though, gives me something to look into. Although I thought it was postpaid only. That's what the terms say on the front page. If prepaid works someone should probably clarify. Again though, thanks for the feedback.


edit: To clarify, twice on the front page it says postpaid only. In other places people mention prepaid working. So either I'm confused, or there is conflicting information on the front page.

do u need a gsm compatible phone for porting over to either:

1. h20 prepaid
2. tmoble prepaid
3. att prepaid

?

i am a current sprint customer
looking to move only 1 of my 10 lines over to this 1 year free

i am thinking of porting to number barn ($7 cost) and then back to sprint new account with spouse ss n

i have a bunch of 1c h20 sim cards, but dont have a gsm capable phone.

can i port to h20 with just the sim card, and then after a few days port back to sprint with new account?

edit..actually , i have an inactive sprint lg g6 that is paid off and i believe sim unlocked

if everything works out...i am planning on using that sprint lg g6 on the new 1 year promo account i will create

i already checked the imei of that g6 with a friends current tmobile number and got the sucess screen
