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.

At least, Virgin Mobile has $1 for a year service now and it beats this promotion.

Quote from Genghis_Khan :
I have a total of 10 Sprint lines, 5 on the free byod under my name and another 5 paid under the wife's name. I don't touch my free byod account. I referred the wife's account so she got $250. I don't get any referrals cuz I'm under the free plan. The wife's account I use to get upgrades through Best Buy. IPhone SE and Samsung Galaxy Emerge J3 are cheap. Couple of weeks ago LG G6 was on sale for $5/month x 24 months. It's very easy to upgrade. I'll be closing the wife's account in a couple of weeks, I hope my $400 gift card I'll receive by then. After closing it I won't be able to upgrade anymore. I'll wait for 120 days to upgrade the ones on my byod (in case there will be cheap phone deals).

Call the number on the wiki, or the website. It's much easier and less frustrating.
120days from first day I or you activated number or from first day this promotion started?

In what sense? VM does not allow tethering and both BYOD and VM deals charge the same amount of tax. Only difference is $1.99 admin fee charged by BYOD.

Agent told me 120 days from the start of the promotion as I only signed up yesterday, but he quoted 12/1/17 (from the 8/1/17 start). As with most agent info, YMMV I think...

I was deciding which to go with and selected Sprint based on 10GB hotspot, better roaming, and priority data over Virgin Mobile and other MVNOs. I have had VM in the past and it was good for talk and text but sucked for data. YMMV.

Yes if you joined after 8/1 on 12/1 you can upgrade and get a deal on a new phone.

Directly from the FAQ's on BYOD sign up page.
When can I upgrade to a new phone on this promotion?
If you signed up for the offer before 8/1/17, you can upgrade to a new Sprint phone by leasing or purchasing it in monthly installements after 10/1/17, and you'll still enjoy your free year of service. Any upgrades prior to 10/1/17 will require a plan change to Unlimited data, talk and text and you'll lose the remaining free months in your year of free service.

If you signed up 8/1/17 or later, you can upgrade to a new Sprint phone by leasing or purchasing it in monthly installements after 12/1/17, and you'll still enjoy your free year of service. Any upgrades prior to 12/1/17 will require a plan change to Unlimited data, talk and text and you'll lose the remaining free months in your year of free service.

If a Sprint rep sets up your account incorrectly as a payment account, you will get paid by Sprint, actually by Sprint's other customers.

Watch this on WXYZ, Detroit.
