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.

Quote from rczrider :
I just don't need it, though, so it'd be $130 for a phone I won't use.

Truth told, I probably wouldn't even really use the "free" Sprint plan, either. I have a Moto E 4G (not a Moto E4) from my RingPlus days that I liked using a beater (music player while mowing or working out, something I didn't care about if it got destroyed) and it was nice having a spare phone with actual service. For $4/month, I'd do it again. Not $130 + $4/month, though. And even if I were to activate with the phone and return it, I don't think I could use my Moto E.


I think there might be a restocking fee, but I've returned unopened phones before and never been charged.
What kind of plan is your "regular" cell phone plan?

Get a T-mobile SIM from anywhere (free if you go to Apple store), call T-Mobile and activate it on Prepaid without funding.
Make sure you get phone # and set pin. Account # is same as phone number.

I don't get it on activate on prepaid without funding. Why would they do it?

I don't know why, but they do. Just tell them you want to fund it later. I've done it several times. Worst case, if you get an outlier CS rep, put a few bucks in.

Inconclusive reports. Try if you already have one. However, you can surely ESN swap it in later after activating on a phone from the list (as long as it is unlocked and not previously on a Sprint MVNO.

The fact Boost is going hard for customers with the 5 for $100 leads to think Sprint keeps their promo going.

Lg v20 works fine.. I bought used LG G5, v20 and S7 edge from ebay and activated them without any issues. None of these are in the list, but worked fine for me.

So I've switched now to Sprint (4 lines and had to buy 1 new phone to pull it off) - and I'm surprised to see that my free service is costing $22.88 per month. The breakdown is $0 for plans/equipment, $7.96 for Sprint administrative charge, $1.60 regulatory charge, and $13.32 government charges. (Looks like my county is charging $12/month for 911 service!) I'm signed up for autopay.

Is this all correct or ??? With the purchase of the new phone, I might have just been better off with my cricket plan.
