I got past the Sim check, but now when I put the social security number and birthday in, it says, "We are unable to confirm your credit online. Please call the number above for assistance".
That's before the credit card number is even put in.

I was gonna say to check with ting.com/byod but you already did. All you have to do is call Sprint and get them to add it to their system. There is a guy on Reddit that may be able to switch it from PLBL to SPCS without having to wait on the phone.

PM him? if so, what info do i need to give him? sorry and TIA

You can use the Virgin free service for a year deal, but if it's clean, you're pretty much ok to get it switched over.

This credit card will give you 50k miles after spending 3k. https://secure.fly.aa.com/citi/footer-cbaahv

You should avoid applying for any credit cards within 6 months of applying for a home or auto loan. You should space out credit card applications 6 months or more since that would signify an unknown debt and hurt your score. And if you get too many new cards for bonuses(valued at around $500 each), your credit age(15% of your score) will go down. You have to close out the cards if they account for a small percentage of credit utilization or incur an annual fee without yearly bonuses for spending. If you don't have a lot of cards, it's best to keep the new cards open and let them age.

As a parent or spouse of someone with poor, young, or no credit history, you should add that person as an authorized user of your credit cards as early as possible to help them build their scores until they're ready for their own credit cards. Of course, if you lose your job and can't pay your debts, their credit will take a hit (high credit utilization ratio), but they can call to get the late payments removed since only the primary cardholder is responsible for the payments.

Is there any way to get it on my iPhone 4s? Anything at all?</p>
Add a compatible IMEI and then switch it over online or over the phone once your old number has been ported over.

I'm having trouble getting the $5 Autopay discount listed on my account? I've been signed up since Aug 31 but I don't see the discount on my billing. I've been on Autopay since I signed up.

PLBL (Private Label) is for use on Sprint MVNOs. SPCS (Sprint PCS) for Sprint.

Has anyone tried to add a new line from best buy to their free plan? I was trying to buy a cheap iphone se, deactivate, and move to my primary line, but the website showed plan illegible for me and didn't allow me to go further.

Quote from canex :
I had similar problem years ago. Not sure the trick still works or not now.

What I did was to activate an cheap Iphone (mine is Iphone 5c) with my primary number. Then, port the primary number to GV. For your new phone, under Imessage, make sure you enable BOTH your Sprint number AND primary number. I kept my Iphone 5c in drawer just just to ensure it did not de-register my primary number from Apple Imessage Server by accident.

Before sending any message, Imessage App actually inquiries Apple Server whether a phone number registered with Imessage. If yes, instead of sending via SMS, it directly route the message to Apple server, which relays to the precipitant Iphone. Essentially, what I did is the complete opposite to the below

https://techcrunch.com/2014/11/09...ge-number/

Interesting. Is this still working for you? I might try this. If it doesn't work, I can just try porting the number in afterwards. I'd be out $20, but it would be worth it if it worked.

My device/carrier showed eligible at their website. I went ahead for the credit check online. But it showed "We're sorry, we're unable to confirm your credit online. Please call the number above for assistance." When I called I wasted 20min talking to them and they said I need to go to their Sprint corporate store with 2 IDs for verification. Did it happen to any of you? Will it mess up with the 1 year free plan?
