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.

I dont think so. Still i will try so. Thanks
Apparently ITIN's are indeed used for credit reports just like SSN's and you can get credit based on ITIN's, as suggested by akhere.

https://www.creditcards.com/credi...in-ssn.php

is not about this directly but does incidentally show some of what we discussed.

so I think your odds may be better than you think.

As long as they get any kind of even just "poor to fair" report at all from the credit bureau, they are usually approving them for this offer.

Let us know either way as we may have ideas if it does not go through too.

Get a relative/spouse/family member to open a new account under their SSN for the both of you.

Then port your numbers out of your current free plan briefly to TMobile Prepaid, then back into the new Sprint plan for another free year.

See the wiki or read back just two days for numerous accounts of people giving all the details of how to do that.

im confused about my bill.. So I added 1 line and then 2 days later added the rest of my family (4 lines total) it says my bill for my 1 line is $4.75... is that how much it would be for all 4 lines too? or should I think of the bill as $4.75 x 4= around $20? I dont think they can charge tax, fees 4x correct?

Sprint surcharges and tax are per line per month.
Clearly stated in t&c.
So you will be paying $4.75 X 4 lines.
** Mo. charges excl. taxes & Sprint Surcharges [incl. USF charge of up to 18.4% (varies quarterly), up to $2.50 Admin. & 40¢ Reg. /line/mo.) & fees by area (approx. 5–20%)]. Surcharges are not taxes. See sprint.com/taxesandfees.

four of you go to Olive Garden. You really think only one of you has to pay tax and tip for your meal ?

what makes you think they cant charge you tax and fees for each line? I was paying $40 in tax and fees for 4 lines when I was a Sprint postpaid customer 2 years ago.

At this point, are those bouncing from BYOD>>TMO PP>>new BYOD account still using the online BYOD mail in sims or are you manually doing it by calling the BYOD 866 #???

Or are you doing say 2 lines by the BYOD online form and planning to add another 2 by phone by the 17th (or after?) I don't want to be without phone service for a few days/forced to fund TMO etc. or pay a month Total wireless while waiting. . .

Thanks for the steps. My free plan expires in September. I am planning to jump on this. Before that would like to clarify, can I use my old sprint sims to reactive? I know it's dumb question.
Yes you can . I used the same SIM's to extend for another year

OK, so I just tried to add another line to my free account & was told I needed a brand new SIM card for my phone (I made the mistake of saying the one I had was the original/older one that came with the device). Rep stated that to prevent my 1 yr offer from being INVALIDATED in the future the terms indicate a brand new SIM is required to activate.

Anyone get similar info? The offer page does say a SIM purchase is requried for the deal (small print at bottom of the page): Reqs. SIM card purchase ($2.99 + $10 S&H + tax).

It's complete nonsense. Some TeleSales reps will say that because they have no idea, but they can see that getting a new sim is obviously going to work. It is also a way for them to avoid dealing at great length with people who think they should be able to move a Sprint sim from one phone to another different model and want to know why it does not work.

Just call back and this time IF THEY ASK say it is a new sim card you hust bought at a Sprint store.

Also never ask any questions or volunteer any background. Just give them IMEI, ICCID, and number to port in
