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.

Such a great community! Hoping someone might rise to the challenge of answering my dimwitted question.

It's unclear to me how a current Sprint customer (past contract, unlocked iPhone 7 Plus) would port from Sprint to T-Mobile, then back to Sprint. Anyone want to try to explain it to me like I'm five?

My understanding is that I get a T-Mobile digital ICCID from eBay, then activate it with T-Mobile, then somehow port my Sprint number to T-Mobile without signing up for a T-Mobile plan... then port it back to Sprint via the One Free Year site using a new account...

How do you port it to T-Mobile for free? The other parts I might be able to stumble through...

Also, am I correct that a Sprint iPhone 7 Plus would still work with this scenario even though it says "Verizon Only" for this model?

Your iPhone 7 Plus will work. iPhone 7 are not carrier branded they are either GSM/LTE or CDMA/GSM/LTE.

My Freedompop Global number didn't go through. Then I tried Freedompop LTE number and was able to port over in four hours. I added a second line from Google Voice which was ported instantly.

BTW, my Virgin Mobile $1/mth ends soon. So I called them and terminated my account. Most importantly I asked them to mark my phone as inactive, and I was able to add my second line to that phone in seconds.
I tried to port-out from Freedompop. But, all port-out info are blanked. How did you get you proper port-out info?

I just signed up BYOD. Why it is only free until 7/31/18? Not 2019? Is it a typo?


Congratulations!



You're saving more than $900 in the first year on a single line over Verizon's unlimited rates, and you get:
•FREE unlimited data, talk text until 7/31/18
•HD Streaming video and 10GB hotspot data per line
•Upgrade anytime after 120 days

Yes. The old www.freedompop.com does not work any more. Except there is a Pencil icon, everything is blank. I am using my phone number as account number and give a shot.

They never updated the date on that original message (it always says that - talk about sloppy) but the correct date will be shown on your Dashboard and it will be 5/31/2019.

So do I, not sure what the source of ending "5/17" is but if its credible then this deal will probably end as they are not even waiting until 5/31 this time. Looks like the merger TMO is going to stick this time as well, or at least they've come to the terms of it (stock value etc.)
Also, mid to late May is the one year anniversary of the original announcement of this offer in May 2017.

Quick question, does anyone know which bestbuy sim SKU to buy for a Sprint LG G5 ? Thanks.

(Finally ordered an Lg G5 after considering the myriad cheap motorola versions. There are so many versions of the moto G and e4 that my head is spinning, and that the e4 can't use ipv4? )
LG G5 is a better phone and a true bargain used or refurbished.for around $100. So is a LG G4 for $70 or an LG V20 for $130.

Well... if you've already ordered, that means you're already in. What does your port status say?

How can your tmobile service get cancelled? you should not cancel the service, it should be automatically cancelled after you port the number to spring. if you called tmobile to cancel before your number being ported, you loose your number.
