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 am on the antiquated Sprint Framily Plan with my brother. Brother is the main account holder. If we wanted to switch to this plan would I need to buy a Tmobile phone number from Ebay and a phone like that Walmart Moto $80 phone? We have old samsung s5's still but have no issue buying new phones if we can join this plan. Would I be able to add this person to my plan and we both get the free year or would each of us have to sign up separately on different accounts?

The above mentioned sim card is in the Boost triple pack. They do list the sim#'s on the box.
Also--make sure that Target rings it up at $114.99---mine was marked 160.98 and that's what it rang up as and the guy said unless I had an ad--that's the price and I told him that it was on brickseek listed for $114.99 and he said that doesn't matter and then another guy came up and he looked it up on his phone and found it somewhere on Target website--not sure where because I don't see it listed for that price but they did do a match price.

Didn't pick up the sim card tho---I can get it for 2.99 with FREE shipping online. I can wait a few more days to activate it. Not a big deal for me. It will give me time to get everything else loaded on it and see how I like it.

I called yesterday and asked if they had a phone and they said yes and they held it for me. I never asked the price of it--so I went in there not knowing what it was going to ring up as. I didn't want it disappear at the $115 price Smilie. If your going to Target you might want to print out the page at Brickseek to show the price.
As per the Moto G5 plus target thread, open up the target app while in store and show to employee, it will match brickseek the price

Never ever show bricksick to employees

Thanks Had no idea about not showing it--B--S. Learn something new everyday!! They must have looked at the Target App. I don't have the Target or other apps on my phone. Might do it now that I have more data but seems there are so many apps out there that your phone is full of junk. Thanks again!!!

Luckily they had no clue what I was talking about! Guess I didn't either!

I searched and did not get the answer. Where can you find Sprint PIN? I stared at my ebill and online account and could not figure it out. Do I have to chat/call Sprint to get PIN?
Go to security settings of account at MySprint
https://www.sprint.com/en/my-spri...:Profile#/
and reset your PIN if you don't remember what you told them to use for PIN when setting up account.

Brickseek is just a third-party inventory and price checker for information only. They have checkers for several retailers(Walmart, Target,Staples,etc) They are not a part of Target(or any store) so they can't be used for any price matches even if you did show them the information.

What does it say at https://www.sprint.com/en/landing...phone.html

That is a different tester.

We can comment after you post back what it says.
It says: "We can't activate this phone online.
Sorry, please bring your phone to a Sprint Store so we can help"

I suspect you can sort it out eventually (but you still might have to swap it on eventually because many times now they are rejecting older Sprint models for this particular offer - but that is not the immediate problem or it would have passed the test you just did).

Literally Unlimited on Reddit may be able to see what is wrong if you have not contacted him yet. He is actually with the same company Ting but is very senior and may have a better answer than you got.

Second, most probably if you go to a corporate owned store they may work on it and fix it (for all they know you want to add it for a paid plan), or if you get help from the moderator on the Sprint Community Forum, they can probably refer it for investigation. They oftten do that although you do not see it on their forum because they switch to private.

Oh does it still show ok on the Ting checker after all the handling?

It switched to 7/31 at zero hours on 5/18 after the old offer date expired on 5/17 as anticipated. We tracked it live here at the time as the web site updated right at midnight to 7/31 end of savings date and people started getting 7/31 then and there. There have been plenty of posts.

All activations since that moment gave 7/31/2019 as end of savings date. (Reps are always clueless).

I grabbed one of the new Boost Moto G6 Plays from Walmart and I was able to activate a new line on this deal with it. I also checked the esn with Ting and Tello and it was ready to activate with them as well. The $79 price is also $50 lower than the phone is listed for on the Boost Mobile website so it's a pretty slick deal.

Wow just wow!

Did it go right on or did they have to white-list it manually?

I suspect what may have happened that allows this is that when Sprint puchased these, they just bought one big initial lot that failed to distinguish between IMEI's for Sprint versus IMEI's for Boost. This was once the case for iPhone SEs as I recall but only lasted for a while.
