I'm new to this deal, and I am having a hard time finding a phone I can use.

Can I just order a Samsung S8 directly from Sprint while I go through the link to order the service and port my existing number from Ting?
Its not that hard to find a phone for this promo. You can get the phones from Amazon, bestbuy, B&H, and Samsung. Or used phone from Ebay.

Thank you.

So Sprint is offering 50% off on the S8 but it looks like if I try to pay off the device and cancel the line after say 2 days, I will have to pay full price to pay off the phone. It is 50% off only if I keep the monthly plan. is that correct?
That's the way I interpret it, but if any others see a way to get substantially a discounted device with this plan, I'm all ears! Peace

If you are talking about the 50% instant discount (not monthly bill credits) mentioned by edog11 earlier; yes, you can cancel the line and pay the remaining discounted lease payments plus the PPO to own the phone at the discounted price (see my post earlier). Just make sure that the 50% discount is reflected on your lease agreement/contract. The new Sprint Flex Lease is basically the combo of lease and installment payment plan, where Sprint is hoping that people will turn in the phone or continue paying at the end of the lease term to make money. You may need another SSN to sign up for this 1-year free plan if you go this route.

If i upgrade a line that's on this plan, i now have a free and clear phone. could i then use that newly replaced phone to add another line on the same free 1 year as long as i have another number to port in? or is that device no longer eligible for the promotion?

EX.
iPhone SE currently on 1yr free plan - use upgrade to get iPhone 6s for $5 a month
can i then take iPhone SE and add an additional line with another ported number?
iPhone SE is a phone i bought outright a year ago and transferred over from verizon initially

Yes...

From the FAQs:

Are international services included?

Yes, our 1 Year Free Unlimited plan includes Sprint Global Roaming [sprint.com], which includes data up to 2G speeds and text messaging in any of our 165+ Global Roaming countries at no charge, plus calling for just $0.20 a minute.

It does not include calling from the U.S. to international locations, but you can easily add international calling [sprint.com] to your plan.

I can't find any information if anyone was able to successfully swap an iPad.

I tried to move a line and gave an iPad's IMEI and Sprint said I can't use it even though it confirmed as eligible on their website.

I just activated the line so I will try to swap the iPad the next few days.
