I signed up back in June and would like to add another line. Can I do it online or have to call? Can the new line be a new phone # or does it have to port from another provider? The new device I want to activate was originally a Sprint iPhone 6S. Is that going to be a problem? thanks.

Yes, but those who want in should assume it will end. Also, more likely it WILL end because the merger is already negotiated.
It still has to be approved by the FCC. I feel like Sprint doesn't steal much competition away from the other carriers, and they don't compete with Sprint for lower pricing(5 for $90 deal, for example is only matched by Cricket's 5 for $100 including tax).

I have a whole bunch of LG phones that used to be on Ringplus. Some virgin some boost. None show up as qualifying.

Would you please let me know what is the best way for me to get a cheap phone (up to $200) to get this service? I was thinking about getting an iPhone SE but not sure from where. ​

Moto E4 from Best Buy. I have one (as well as a Pixel). The quality of the phone has surprised me (in a good way).

Unlocked Moto E4 from BB (not all stores carry it so check inventory online) -- they have a cheaper bundle if you buy it with Simple Mobile or Cricket SIM+refill so you might as well get that

$130 for unlocked Moto E4
$121 for unlocked Moto E4 + Simple mobile SIM + $40 refill bundle
$122 for unlocked Moto E4 + Cricket SIM + $40 refill bundle

Also grab the Boost Mobile triple SIM kit if you need a Sprint SIM

Target & Frys also sell the phone -- you can order from Amazon if it has same day delivery in your area

Thank you all for the help. I will go to apple store to get a new sprint sim card then. I called several customer support from that 866 number, and one guy even told me that if I swap a new phone it will stop my free plan. But they do allow user to swap a new phone to replace the old broken or lost phone.
Yeah, in that case you have in theory broken your old iphone. Cool Switch it off and then call ...

lol..funny post..as if u are trying to fool sprint...nice ..wont work, because it is not needed

look, as mentioned numerous times here..once u are on this plan..u can swap devices as many times as u like given: the device has to be a sprint, postpaid device with clean esn, no balance owned, etc...

now what gets confusing is that there are numerous confused sprint reps and customers as well

they confuse swap device with upgrade device

if u upgrade a device, then yes ur free plan will end

so lets be clear of the rules ...cause it has been discussed time, and time, and time, and time and time,and time,and time,again

Yes, but it seems that negotiations between T0Mobile and Sprint are over, so the advantage in coming into the deal with more subscribers has past. So, it is probable that there is no further advantage to giving away free service. However, all is conjecture.

Regardless, it behooves anyone who wants to get in on this deal to do it by tomorrow in case it ends then.

JaTaN has given excellent advice in the post above about how/where to get a Moto E4 phone compatible with this offer. I have one. As a person who has always used flagship phones (Iphone, Pixel, etc.), In can tell you that this phone is surprisingly good for the price.

Two Questions:
1. Placing calls to a non US number: Can we add International Connect: Call & Text add-on - $15/mo? FAQ on BYOD Free one year plan - "It does not include calling from the U.S. to international locations, but you can easily add international calling to your plan.
2. Anyone has used Sprint Global Roaming feature when travelling abroad ( In FAQ, they are saying it already included). url https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/br...phone=byod

Thanks in advance for your answers
