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.

Quote from comintel :
It's complete nonsense, but did you bring up the subject? If asked, 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.

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

Just call back and this time IF THEY ASK say it is a new sim card you bought at a Sprint store.
The guy asked if it was a brand new SIM or an old one. I made the mistake of saying it was an older one... Called back 5 mins later and this time the girl just asked if I already had a SIM so all is good.

Tip for folks - if asked about the SIM - say it is brand new purchased from a local Sprint store.

u mean ;

Each and every number (first , 2nd or last) on a byod line has to be ported in from a non sprint (or sprint mvno) carrier

i really like that line..especially since i wrote in there in the wiki
I like the colors. That one lit up my entire zip code

So guys I received my att prepaid sim $.99 today...
But they assigned me a phone number already ...
So did I messup or they did..or is it still possible to port from Sprint to this sim?


Edit: seems it is just a temporary number....but I am on phone with them and there is problem in porting because my temporary number and sprint number have different area codes

Agreed! Just say you got it from the Apple Store / Sprint Store.

I wonder if Sprint told SlickDeals to wind it down, more specifically perhaps that Sprint would no longer pay commisions for referral links in preparation for shutting it down on the 17th?

SlickDeals has links to various Sprint offers so presumably they have a communications channel to Sprint marketing.

Check a few messages back.

Just tell them you just bought the sims from​ the local Sprint store. That's working for people who get this fiction.

It's just a sales ploy some reps came up with. Sprint never invalidates sims and could not do so. Everyone is using sims from many years ago in their phones. Sprint sims are standard and never expire.

Also I am sure the reps are sick of people trying to reuse sims in phones they do not work with. People are unaware that Sprint has about 30 different sim parts and you have to use the exact one (or one of a few) correct sim parts for your phone. So what's the easiest solution for the unscrupulous sales rep to avoid sim-related complaints? Lie and tell them that they have to start over with a new one to avoid problems.

I'm moving. I use google voice as my main number so I switch service month to month, no need to port. Will be jumping between Cricket and metro for free phones every month.

Did you insert the SIM into the phone or do it digitally without inserting it?
First time I inserted it. Rest of the times using the same t-mobile sim card, I didn't bother to do so.

I posted a request at
https://slickdeals.net/f/11590527-free-1-year-byod-sprint-thread-incorrectly-marked-expired
to mark this deal active again until it is actually ended.

I am not sure but that looked like the right place to make such a request.

Edit: Wow - they moved it back to Active immediately!
