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.

They need to add the phone to the database in store. After that they can activate it on the byod line.
my line is already registered as BYOD with free for a year with MOTO G5 plus.
But I am returning it since i have 5s. don't want to waste.

i called and it sounds like they registered my phone to their DB.
and have me update ##update# on my phone but update is always failing.

they told me it is device issue. i do not think so.

How long does one have to activate the SIM after registering online and ordering it?

I may be out of town for a couple days and unable to activate when the SIM first arrives. Does Sprint mind, or do they give people a few days (or maybe up to a week) to activate and port in?
You should be ok for a few days you don't need to activate right away

If you don't top up I don't think H2O will provide you with account number/pin to port back to sprint.

Just pay $10 to get one year sprint "free" since you already have H2O sims in hand.

I suggest you seriously reconsider your decision. IMHO, VZW Iphone 5 is the worst phone you could use in Sprint network. It has only Band #25, lacks #26 (LTE and 3G voice) and #41 (LTE-advanced band). Considering Sprint shity network, sooner or later, you will have coverage and download speed problem.

Moto G5 plus supports all three bands. If you want to stick with Iphone, you need Iphone 6 and higher models with band #41 support.

I have $150 Groupon credit, looking at options on Groupon, decided against iPhone, it looks like unlocked Moto G4 is the only option that's new and not refurbished with bad reviews. Will this work with Sprint? Thanks for any help! Moto G4 XT1621 16GB LTE DUAL SIM GSM Factory Unlocked - NEW [groupon.com]

Nervous about this part in description:

"Compatible with GSM carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile as well as with H20, Straight Talk GSM, Simple Mobile, Tracfone GSM and other prepaid carriers. This Unlocked cellphone will NOT work with CDMA Carriers like Verizon, Sprint, Boost mobile, Virgin mobile, Straight Talk CDMA, Tracfone CDMA, Total Wireless, Ting Wireless or U.S Cellular."

"2G bands: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900; CDMA 800 / 1900; 3G bands UMTS 850/900/1700/1900/2100; 4G bands: LTE Cat4 700/850/1700/1800/1900/2600 ;Speed HSPA 42.2/5.76 Mbps, LTE Cat4 150/50 Mbps;GPRS :Yes; EDGE: Yes."

I am new to the smart phone world, so please bare with me and any help would be appreciated.

I currently have an old dumb phone (no data) on a Verizon plan.

I'd like to buy a brand new Moto G5 Plus phone to bring to Sprint for this 1 year promotion.

To take part in the promotion, does the G5 need to be activated on Verizon first or can I just activate new on Sprint & just port my phone number to Sprint?

Thank you much!
