Quote from lstevens :
It does include the autopay credit. Your taxes are high!
The killer/outlier is the Montgomery County Utility Tax.
Still, a GREAT deal for free service!
Quote from clar :
I signed up last weekend. 2 lines.

Already received bill. The breakdown is:

Plans and equipment: $0.00

Sprint Surcharge: $11.83 (below is the breakdown)
Admin fee $3.98
MD Assessment: $0.05
Montgomery County Utility Tax: $7.00
Regulatory charge: $0.80

Government tax: $1.28

Total bill: $13.11

I don't think it include the $5 autopay credit yet. Don't know when I'll get it.
Simple solution. Get a Visa or AMEX prepaid gift card and assign it a billing address that has low taxes. Change your Sprint account to that billing address and change your payment method to that card.

considering that the merger with TMobile fell apart, I would expect this deal to end today
Then again, it sounds like Sprint was never that serious about it. How could they possibly think they'd be in charge?

He got an upgrade with his BYOD and got $350 off the iPhone X on top of the free year? Wow, the thing is we need 2 lines and would rather give my wife the iPhone 6 than trade it in. I just want to be sure they'll let me get an additional line because I'll be handing over the iPhone 6 to her and porting her number.
It's not $350 off the phone instantly. It's spreading over 18 months. But he's still playing $22 for 18 months for the x after his $19 discount for his trade in.

Right, after months of negotiations, I'm sure Softbank was reminded that they owned the 40%, not the 60%. Must have just hit him this week lol

I would chat tech support. As long as the Free Plan is set up properly, shouldn't be a problem to correct IMEI.

Google Voice (check the wiki), or T-Mobile Prepaid (if you have an un-used T-Mobile SIM).

yeah, he said 2.44 for 2 lines.....I'm not even sure you have to go through all that with the debit card. just google a legal address (hotel?) in vegas, go to my sprint, and change your info. Sprint never mails anything anyway.

I got a "Welcome to Sprint" postal letter eventually. It could be that they would start investigating if it bounces back to them.
