i assume you meant limitation?

I have no issue using WeChat on the free data plan. I'm on nexus 5x.

Quote from lbzz :
I just found out there are some weird data limits to this free 1-year plan, while the paid lines have no limits. I was trying to use a popular Chinese chat app called Wechat, and it couldn't connect to the server through the free line. I also tried to download the app file from the official website and got a DNS error. I tried these under the paid line and no issues at all. Also, I tried different VPN apps like turbo VPN, hotspotshield, opera vpn and lantern, and none of them would work or connect under the free line. Feels like data on the free lines goes through a different "filtered" channel than paid lines.

Quote from bucdenny :
I have helped port 10 lines from Verizon and T-Mobile on 10 different accounts. Not a single one had issues with being placed on wrong plan. What I did was make sure each account that was ported to have the representative triple check and repeat what plan is being setup on.

There was one instance the representative had no clue, we simply hung up and called again to find a representative that knew about the plan.

On the initial port and setting up the account did you have verify what plan you are going to be on?
Yes, all information was checked multiple times and at the end of each call CS said to the changes will be applied within 15 minutes and nothing happened... and the cycle went on and on

When we registered over the phone for this promotion, they told us to call the number to do the activation instead of the website activation. Is there any reason they would want us to do this? The way they set it they seem to indicate calling in was a better option, but didn't explain why.

what is the best way to sign up this BYOD in my case.
i am currently a sprint customer, but i have a phone that eligible for this promo along with google voice number. so, i am sure i have a no problem to sign up with google voice number.

however, if i want to carry same phone number that i am using in sprint right now, which way is the best way to do it.

1. port out current phone number to buy either tmobile or att prepaid sim card.
2. port out current phone number to google voice first ($20), and port it back to sprint ($3)
3. too much headache and could casue it a trouble, so forget about current sprint phone number and just porting google voice number for the safe side.

*** In case of Number 3. If i canceled the sprint service without porting the current number, can i choose that number later on? or once it canceled the number will be no longer available to chooe it again. ***

please help me.. i have 3 lines need to sign up.
i read most of the info for last 2 days and now too much info makes me confuse.
i need Master to clear my mind and guided to the bright light.
thank you

#1 is fine. You can even port out/into T-Mobile without funding (as long as you don't wait too long before in again). To be very sure, just fund it with $3 prepaid plan. Keep in mind that you will need to have no financial obligation to Sprint on the device that you are porting out, and that you will need a relative/friend to use their SS#, as this is for new customers.

1. I would port to T-Mobile prepaid. If you can't port out - I would use google voice number ($3 unlock)
2. Since your phone is ported out. Using your spouse's SSN ; get into BYOD under a new account.

Hope this helps

Most of them are not applicable to the free plan. Some early birds including myself got the referral bonus.

You can get T-Mobile SIM for free from Apple Store (just tell them it's for an Iphone), or for a few dollars on eBay. Yes, only the primary account holders SS# is on the account.
