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.

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.

Don't know how I missed this thread for so long. Anyhow, I hope someone can help me get on this plan by answering my questions.

I am currently on Total wireless (prepaid), and have 2-lines. Don't want to port any of these lines, but rather open a new line. Am I eligible for this promo?

Second, I have a Verizon iPhone 5 (unlocked). Can I use this phone on this plan or not? Wiki doesn't list iPhone 5, but iPhone 5c, 5s are eligible.

TIA>
Quote from ludhianvi :
Thanks. Google Voice is a good suggestion, didn't think about it.

I checked VZW iPhone5 on the link, and as you said, it came as No. I will try to buy another phone on CL.
Verizon iPhone 5 works on Sprint. The hardware and software/firmware are identical for Verizon, Sprint, and KDDI (Japan) iPhone 5. I have had it on my Sprint account for a few years before upgrading.

1. what is the history of your Verizon iPhone 5?
2. what is the part number MDxxxLL/A as printed on the box or found under settings?
3. run the IMEI on Ting BYOD and let me know what exact message you get from Ting BYOD?

Ported 2 iPhone 6 to this plan. They are the same model, one from Sprint before, one from Apple store. The one from Sprint works fine, with LTE data. The one from Apple has only 3G data, no LTE data. I called Sprint 1-866-782.8777 and 1-888-211-4727, they asked me to reset all the related settings on iPhone, ##873283#, etc., none worked. I even got a new SIM and had it reset to the phone, it still showed 3G Data, no LTE data. I even went to Sprint Repair Center, they tried all these, did not work. Anybody knows how to fix it? Thanks.
I am curious about this also as I have a similar issue of 3G only with an Iphone SE

Yes, you can change it yourself with no fee. See below:

Could be a few things such as faulty SIM (because LTE data is provisioned through SIM), corrupted profile on device, data provision error on Sprint's side, number porting is not 100% completed, etc.

I would try to troubleshoot with the user's/device's side first before contacting Sprint if the error is on the Sprint's side. Error from Sprint's side usually fixes itself after 48 hours.

Do factory reset and carrier reset on the device or do factory restore using iTunes. Also search for edog11's posts on how to refresh/update profile. Post back here with your SIM's part number and iPhone's part number if none of these fix your problem.

Nice: It seems Free Hulu also works for this plan version.
It is offered to be added under add services - but it does not seem to go through ... bug in the configuration I guess - it should not have been offered.

Same for Premium Intl Experience.
They did not want the development cost of tailoring the Web Interface for this limited time free plan. So they used the regular paid plan site and patched the back end.​

My feature phone wouldn't work on Sprint as confirmed by rep.

What's the absolutely cheapest phone that one can buy to avail this promotion? It need not be a smart or new phone; refurb works as well.

1. Used it on Verizon account, and just have it laying around after upgrading to newer one. Dad uses this phone as iPod.
2. MD658LL/A.
3. Your phone is compatible with Ting.
If your Apple iPhone 5 (A1429) is unlocked you can bring it to Ting today! It will support the following services on our GSM network. Only 2G is shown as one that would work.
