That's very important news tonight - thanks! - as it tells us the promotion has just been renewed for another month! They have been doing this one month at a time.
yeah i wouldn't know why they would ever stop. i mean if the numbers work out to offer it for one month, they work out for 2 months, 3 months, etc., until their network literally runs out of capacity. in the meantime they are gaining market share.

Are you telling me they've extended it 1 month every month for like half a year? Why? Do they actually lose money temporarily by offering the service free for a year or is the only consequence possible network congestion?

Been browsing this thread for a while but can't find any leads on eligible Sprint phones. If I don't have any spare, where's the best place to get one besides ebay? As long as it's a smartphone, I don't care the brand. Thanks.

Unlocked Moto E4 with ads for Amazon prime members $99.99. That's the cheapest I know. I haven't bought it because I don't want an Amazon modified product.

That's why I prefer to do things in Sprint chat when possible. Everything is in writing.

I have ported out my lines out from Sprint. I still see that account is active without any lines. Can I add new lines ? If so can I add free lines to my account ?

Yes, you should be able to as long as you bring an eligible phone to Sprint and port in a tel. #.
Give them a call to make sure.

Anyone here who recently got an Essential phone on the flex lease, bought lease and buyout, and then canceled lines, able to get the phone on the BYOD plan when porting lines from another carrier?

Just got back from Japan using my BYOD iPhone/s where I chatted with worldwide support to add the "Sprint Japan $5" plan (google it an you will see some PDFs with details). Both my wife and I used about a gig of data each, one Sprint iPhone SE and one AT&T unlocked iPhone 6s Plus. It seemed high speed like home, but I don't remember doing any speed test. The $5 offer seemed great since there is no need to use the free throttled global roaming at that price. When I chatted with support they asked if I had a date I wanted it disabled or if I want to call into disable it. I told them to disable it after the end of the first month.

So if you will use the phone in Japan I recommend adding the $5/month Japan add on.

Softbank is the Japanese parent company of Sprint. Sprint roams unlimited on Softbank, and likewise Softbank subscribers roams on Sprint in the US. A Japanese colleague recently showed me their "Unlimited America" plan which looked awesome.

Personally it's an amazing feature for those of us who travel to Japan with any frequency for either work or leisure.

Did they give the credit after it was billed ? Or when it just appeared as a an account add on?

Sprint offering $350 towards iPhone X with eligible tradein. Is it too risky to do this in terms of losing the free unlimited?

Being on G6 I'm missing my s8. I wish I could get my Verizon purchased, ATT flashed, S8 to work on the free plan. Maybe easiest way is to sell it on Swappa and buy a new unlocked one. Then I can sell the G6 on Swappa too
