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.
Can I cancel after the first year?
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.

I want to purchase the $99 iPhone SE from Boost Mobile. I want to ask if anybody knows if this can work directly with Sprint one year free plan.

(Not sure if this was asked before and buried in the thread, I apologize if this was).
IIRC, Boost Mobile phones have to be active for 12 months on Boost before they can be used on Sprint postpaid.

Trying to switch 2 lines from Verizon, an iPhone X and the other is S8 bought straight from Samsung. Sprint saying there is no way an S8 that is bought directly from Samsung and then activated on Verizon can be used on Sprint. So, no go for me. Tried online and the phone number in the wiki, same results.

Has anyone done this and successful? Got shot down on the IMEI itself, so it can't be a sim card issue.

I tried searching the thread but didn't find anything.

Can I get this plan up and running and activated without every having the actual device that I am going to "bring" (going to use a friends old IMEI that is working with the checker). I plan then opening another paid account to do the Essential phone / LG G6 deal that is going on right now. Once the phone is paid off, I would close the paid account and do a IMEI swap on the free line.

Anybody see anything wrong or not possible in this plan?

I just activated my free BYOD line today.

In my online account, the eligibility checker apparently let's me upgrade for Essential deal $5. Can I do it even though it has not been 4 months?

UPDATE
Well I should've upgraded online when I had the chance. Now it is saying error.

So this promotion is valid for google voice also?

I was on the phone with a rep setting up my account. When i answered "google voice" for carrier, the rep went "Hmmm" and the line disconnected.

So before I retry want to make sure telling them google voice is perfectly ok. Any more gotcha's to worry about for google voice port.

I got disconnected 3 times once. I think it's just crappy foreign customer service.

A Verizon S8 has the wrong bands exposed by its ROM and could never work on Sprint (unless you flashed it) regardless of where you bought it, so it is blocked from activation on Sprint.

If you had bought the Universal/Unlocked model from Samsung instead of the Verizon version, it would have been eligible on both carriers. If it came with a Verizon SIM in it, it is not the Universal/Unlocked version.

What happens if I upgrade a less than 4 month old BYOD line directly through the Sprint website? It says I'm eligible and let me place the order.

It didn't say anything about a plan change in the phone selection or check out process.

UPDATE
I cancelled my upgrades. I want to keep my free lines.

If I have 5 free BYOD lines, and then I upgrade only 1 of the lines, do I lose all 5 free lines or lose just the 1 free line that updated?
