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.

My head is spinning while reading your post. Are your trying to put your sero line on this free account? It will never work no matter how hard you try.

i had sero line 10 years ago then i move to t-mobile been with them for 4 years

i am trying to set up new line but they cant set my account because i had sero line and they dont know how to delete my old account and set up a new account

i guess that why sprint is lagging simple account set up they cant figure out

has anyone ported a number over the original ported number with this plan?

so i have a disposable mobile number from freedom pop and eligible phone.

my real number is currently with sprint

i have concern that i may get errors when i set this up online (credit score too high)

so what i would like to do is start the process by port in the FP number.....
then once everything is "as it should be"...port my real number from sprint to number barn.

then , in a few days, port the real number from number barn over the FP number on the 1 year free plan

i dont want to port to number barn and risk my number be in limbo..

also, would not want to port to google voice
any suggestions?

Gonna give it a try until the iPhone 8 comes out. Hopefully T-Mobile will have some promos by then.

Obviously you need to double-check what account and plan it is on if that seemed unsettled.

I was able to get two free lines but I need to add one more free line to my account. What do I need to do? Do I go through the same steps I did before, online OR do I have to call in.

Problem - I was going to port a number from t-mobile out, went through the steps on sprint, enter SSN, paid the shipping and sim fee and then realized that I can't port out since it would remove some discounts/promotions I have.

How do I cancel the sprint order / account creation? I tried support but all they're telling me is they can't and I should just sign up... No help at all.

You have to call in. You can add lines up to the maximum total number of lines approved originally based on credit evaluation.

need them to change the ownership flag to SPCS and the iphone will be good to go on any carrier since it is unlocked....t-mobile, At&t etc?
If it will be used on TMobile, AT&T, etc, no need to change the Ownership Flag.
Ting cant change it anyways.

Is that what cases a SIM lock on an iPhone? I had an iPhone 5c that was on Sprint and then RingPlus, but even after Sprint supposedly unlocked (numerous times) it I can't use it on any other carriers like T-Mobile. I have no issues with other iPhone 5c devices I have.

On another note... have you or anyone successfully re-used Sprint SIM cards? I have a few from when I was with RingPlus. From what I've read, Sprint SIM cards can be used if not currently active.

If you have other lines with T-Mobile without a promotion, you may be able to get them to move the promotion to save it (I've seen them do this) if they're nice enough.

Yes, Sprint SIMs are the only one of the four major carriers that can be re-used. I plan to do this in a couple of days for my daughter's Moto G4 when her H2O month is almost up.

I also have one from when I had her on RingPlus.

I have $150 in Groupon credits. I keep seeing deals on Groupon for iPhones unlocked for "AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon", but no mention of Sprint. Will an IPhone from here work, or do i need a Sprint specific one? The wiki says Verizon iPhones will work, but I'm not sure these qualify. TIA!
The iphone 7 for sprint and verizon are the same phone and will work for the big 4. T mobile and at&t are the same but won't work on Sprint or Verizon. So get either a sprint or verizon one. But of course throw a verizon sim in their first to make sure it's unlocked

No, you won't get it back. Autopay is never automatic, you have to agree to it and input your credit card info.
