Quote from JTravers :
Is this after you order the SIMs or after you activate and start the port in process?

If it's after you ordered the SIMs, you can ignore that message.
If it's after you activated and started the number ports, you should have received an email for your order with an activation code. Your PIN is the last 6 digits of the activation code.
It was on the confirmation page right after I ordered the SIM. I thought this was going to cause huge pains when I receive my SIM and try to activate it. Glad to know nothing's missing. Thanks for clearing it up.

Possibly because I had a previous account I could not complete the transaction online. It took 4 calls to telesales until I got someone who could help. Do NOT listen to them when they say you need customer care or to go into a Sprint store. Those are incorrect. Telesales is the ONLY department that can help. The number I used that they were finally able to help me is 1-866-782-8777.

I just used 2 already paid off LG G6 from the 4.99/month deal to activate directly with phone sales for 2 free lines and was successful. Before I called them I checked the imei on the byod page and it passed. So obviously more devices are allowed than the posted list, you just need to check imei.

Need help here guys, I just ordered a Sim to Port and use my Google pixel.
I need a second line for my wife but she has an unlocked S7 from AT&T which sprint said it won't work.
I have an old Nexus 6 home with cracked screen. Can I use it to add another 1 year line then buy the essential phone from Sprint and swap it while still keeping the free year ?

If the nexus 6 passes imei check then you sure can do that. Your plan needs to be upgrade eligible or you need to add a paid line to get the essential phone.

folks..check your account.

after 2 months of ~$2.xx bills

today i see charge

Spending Limit Program Charge $7.99

i have auto pay
I also have the same charge on my account. Called the customer service and was assured that it would betaken out and my account will be credited but that did not happen. Called again and now they say that they can not credit it back as the bill has been already generated and assured that it will be not there from next bill onwards but online dashboard of my account still shows that charge. Will update if I see any change, request you to do the same if you mange to convince them to take it out.

No, you need to wait to be upgrade eligible or you will need to add a paid line to the free plan.

I closed my account in good standing, so I did not have a balance to contend with. I would imagine you need to wait for it to clear.

Shows an error when clicking "Continue" after verifying my phone's IMEI

Edit: worked on Chrome.

Question.. do I have to port a number from AT&T/T-Mobile/Verizon or can I sign up brand new phone number?

So once I have the free plan, I can add a second paid line? Can I do that for 2 months then close it and add a second free plan ?

OR

How long it will take to be upgrade eligible with my free line? 120 days? Then buy an Sprint phone and add a second free line?

Do you think after 120 days I still can get a second free line ?

You can add second BYOD line with phone of your choice anytime. Upto 5 lines or other option add a paid line anytime to the same account
