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.

What an incredible experience this has been. I still learn new points every time I catch up in this thread.(Which I promptly forget probably).
There are a few posters here who have made this the absolute, hands down best money saver cell phone deal EVER.
Imagine how many hundreds of thousands of dollars have been saved by the helpful attentive work done here.
I'm going to be sad to see it end! Now what?
Thanks again Slickdealers. You know who you are.
At the risk of sounding corny, I am compelled once again to name comintel. Outstanding work friend. We all Thank you

You can swap phones anytime. You cannot purchase an upgrade from sprint for 120 days. Sprint rarely has any upgrade deals anyway.

Thank you . One more quick question , I have an iPhone 6s Plus and sprint confirmed that it will work on their network . As it is a second line I called the customer service to port in where , one rep is asking to get the boost SIM card from bestbuy where as the other one is recommending the sprint native one from online for $13 ... will the boost one work if I pull the trigger ?

No difference - both are the same parts. It is not really a Boost sim, just a Boost-logo package of Sprint sims. I would use the Boost package.

Or get one from the Apple store which may be free if you stop by..

Im going from sprint (byod ending soon) I have the tmobile sim numbers from ebay.
Will all my phones work once I move them to tmobile?
Who do I call and should I use another persons SSN for the new sprint account?
You don't need to stay very long with t-mobile, may be an hour at the most so i wouldn't worry about whether phone works or not with T-mobile + it would cost you money to charge it up etc. Just activate and then port out without topping the prepaid account.

Quote from ChristopherK8880 :
I started going through the process just to check it out - this offer it doesn't give you the option to choose between "I need a SIM" and "I already have a SIM." The only option is to order one.
For those of you who have the Sprint SIM you can use it again for those who don't have you need to order one or get one somehow, it is still no big deal considering you can get 5 lines free for up to 1 year and there is 50 bucks referral bonus for each line , let me know if you have any questions. I have done transfer in and out within an hour.

Imei = meid + checksum digit(calculated using luhn algorithm). Boost sim, the G4 sim won't work with G6 play.
Some people said they used hex meid though when activating.

Yes if your credit is really spotless you can appeal further to [email protected] also (Sprint VP).
omg, not sure if it's worth my time anymore just to sign up for this promo.
i called the credit dept, rep said the reason why order wouldn't go thru is they need to verify my identity in person at the store. Asked me to bring 2 proof of ID in the store, and then the rep can clear it with the credit dept. screw that. Told her I want to order it online or over the phone. She wouldn't put in override or budge.

Ended up sending Elise & Marci an email and twitter message. Hope they respond
