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.
Can I cancel after the first year?
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.

Not really. It says S8+ Special Edition (which means Universal all-carrier model) on the list and mine is not special edition.
Also I have activated a Tribute HD that is not mentioned at all on the list.
In actual fact you can activate almost any Sprint phone (unless financed or discounted or prepaid).
There are no special restrictions built into the checker for this offer other than it must be true BYOD and not financed or discounted or prepaid. They are just trying to describe what models will activate on their standard activation engine. They explain that lower down. The list is just their standard BYOD guidance list (usually slightly out of date).

You can call them and they should be able to confirm that. Only call the number given in the wiki.
Did you activate the Tribute HD through the Web page? My LG always get the ineligible message on the website.

Well, "you need to figure out yourself which is cheapest" is sort of the opposite of the whole point of this site
Only you know what phone(s) you have and what carriers they can connect to, so only you can figure it out yourself.

Going to buy a cert iphone 7. Qualified phone list It says verizon only..... can I buy an unlocked 1660 which is what it says vzw and sprint use? Then go to walmart buy a prepaid card to get my number.....and then order sprint sim and change it over?

Is that for 1 line or 3 lines? You do need to pay sprint surcharges and taxes per line.

You need to attach some kind of phone to some kind of Walmart plan.

Yes that is exactly the right question to ask the person who posted.

I had to look specially to find a non-prepaid Tribute HD. I got one on EBay for $30.

My prepaid Tribute HD's were NOT accepted.

First Prepaid Tribute HD's are permanently ineligible, even if they "pass FED" to the extent of being eligible on Ting.
Second even Postpaid Tribute HD's are ineligible if they have recently been on an MVNO until you have the ownership flag changed from PLBL to SPCS.

So your Tribute HD is one of those two - probably it is Prepaid (Boost or Sprint Prepaid) in which case it cannot be activated.

But to answer your question, yes once I got my hands on a genuine used POSTPAID-origin Tribute HD, it did show eligible right away on the web site without doing anything special and I activated it (although I did the actual activation by phone).

So Sprint branded phones are obviously not eligible?[\
I have activated two different Sprint branded phones on this offer with no problem.

So have many others.

BUT they must be postpaid models ONLY and be fully paid off and not recently bought at a Sprint-sponsored discount or Sprint special offer etc. And, if they have been on an MVNO, you will have to get the ownership field changed from PLBL to SPCS (see other threads).

Then they will pass the web check.
