Uhhhhhh yeah sure.
You want me to screenshot my call log? I was calling T-Mobile to ask if I can add line to my Simply Choice plan in case I want to switch back. T-Mobile say yes and the old rates still applies.

Now are you going to apologize?

One major fking issue. I have just used my Moto X Pure on Sprint to test and it is true. Sprint cannot handle voice and data simultaneously. Meaning, if you are on the phone with a friend and he told you to go to a new restaurant, you cannot put him on speaker and jump to Maps or Yelp to look it up. No data unless you are on Wi-Fi. If you are using your phone's navigation and a call come in, GPS still work but no route update and no map loading. If you are on the phone, no iMessage, Facebook messenger, WeChat, WhatsApp unless you are connected to Wi-Fi.

This is a huge issue for people that use navigation a lot or spend too much time on the phone.
yeah i switched from cricket/att and sprint still sucks, no lte signal in my house or office and poor call audio compared to att. as soon as my year is over, i'm leaving, but for now I'm getting what I pay for lol

Calling 866-782-8777 and Sprint is experiencing system problem and unable to process call. Tell me to call back later. Called T-Mobile for my current plan and someone from Virginia answered rightaway. I still want to transfer but yeah.
well stay with t-mobile then...!!!

In your case, you should use a phone app that works with your Sprint number. That way calls get routed through data, so you can continue to use maps and google.

it's still a problem with verizon too, but it's a huge problem with sprint since they only have one phone that support volte.

If you want to pay for service, Sprint will happily take your money for the $95 not inclusive taxes for 5 lines (this promo will continue past 9/30). If you want to save, you can port over tonight last day for $0 + tax for each of your 5 lines.

You should have done your due diligence before moving to Sprint. Sprint has the lowest penetration rates (60%) in non-1st tier and 2nd tier cities and even lower penetration rates in rural areas. If you live in 1st tier/ 2nd tier cities (think NYC, BOS, SFO, LAX, ATL etc) then Sprint is just fine.

I'm planing to port my T-Mobile ($3 for 3 months ) now which I use only for whatsapp.

Once everything is set , I want to replace that number with my regular T-mobile number . Is it possible ? if so how, I don't want to open another line at that time ...
you can call the sprint port dept to initiate another port

Tomorrow this plan users will become eligible for phone upgrades, but dont see any good iphone offer for sprint. Seems all iphone deals are gone for now.
sprint has moved away from DPP and replaced them with leases. you can still do phone DPP with partner bestbuy but their systems might still be programmed to prevent upgrades for the 1 year free byod plans

Think you misunderstood me. I already ported my 5 lines from cricket to sprint 3 months back and I'm happy with their service. It's perfect for my needs and I have coverage where ever I go (Chicago suburbs). I even get phone signal when I'm at the farthest end of the grocery store when you have to call the wife to ask what else she needs in the freezer section. Once I'm past my 12 months and sprint can match cricket's $100 a month for 5 lines, I would stick with them. I'm happy with sprint and I can't believe it. :-)

I knew sprint would not be as good as att but its free so im willing to deal with it. I was hoping they would have improved in my area from 10 years ago but apparently not. You have 14 days to bail otherwise

My old Galaxy Note 3 isn't eligible for the offer but if I have an Iphone 6S that's eligible, what would happen if I sign up and then swap the device to the Note 3.. would that work?

Hmm, unless Sprint extend the deadline or they allow SIM card order today and activation later, there is no way I can transfer from T-Mobile. I've been to 2 Sprint corporate stores and 1 ran out of SIM card for iPhone and the other won't give for BYOD. 2 retail stores and 1 want $25 for SIM and the other only give SIM with phone purchase. Visited Apple Grand Central and Queens Center and they don't give nor sell SIM by itself.
