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.

Hey guys,
I just bought two iPhone 8s from Best Buy with Sprint Unlimited service for $500 each. I paid the tax only and the rest will be paid on a monthly basis.

Can you port the two numbers assigned to those two phones to tmobile, port back to Sprint on the this plan? I can go ahead and call Sprint to pay whatever balance remains on the account.

The representative at Best Buy never opened the boxes but gave me the sim cards. He said all I need to do is insert the sims into the phones and I should have service right away. I still didn't open the boxes or insert the sim cards.

You should return the phones and get verizon versions... They are fully compatible with all providers and unlocked.. Then you can port in and out at will. Sounds like you got subsidized Sprint phones... I'm not at all optimistic about your current plan

And BB just made a sprint account with your SSN. So after canceling, you must wait 45 days to open another. So you'll have to use another SSN to open a new account. However, because you have not activated the phones it may be possible. I think comintel might be able to shed some light on this. Wait for his reply. He does have to sleep at some pointWave

Try inserting Verizon sims before you switch those on for the first time....I think some people got those unlocked this way

So I just inserted a Verizon sim card and the phone can make calls, receive text and displays Verizon LTE. That means that the phone is unlocked, right?

Would I now be able to port my Verizon number to the Free Sprint Plan?

Great...yes if it was sprint iPhone and if you activated for the first time with a Verizon sim then it's unlock policy is set as Verizon which is unlocked because Verizon iPhones are unlocked....

Yes you can port your Verizon phone number to Sprint free year plan also

I've never done this before, but our promotional pricing won't change if we add a line to this plan, right?

I know it says in the agreement you can add a line at any time, I just need some confirmation that people have done this and it worked.

What about the monthly payments? that should have set up an account or will limit you from going to the BOYD if you still owe $$$ on it??? Or am I missing something.

We still don't know when they'll stop accepting accounts, right?

If I don't anyone with a device on the list, how can I get an eligible EMEI quick so I don't miss out while waiting for a new device to ship?

Just ported in my number from Verizon about 30 minutes ago. Bought the SIM at Best Buy and called to activate. Was about a 15 minute call with an agent in the Philippines. Everything went off without a hitch...took the app, was approved for up to 10(!) lines, gave him the IMEI and the SIM card number...the port happened within minutes and I can see everything in my online account. Thanks for the tip off on the deal!

one question...I was offered to add a tablet for $15 a month. I declined but didn't ask for details. Does this draw off of the same 'Unlimited pool of data and have the same details (1080p streaming, etc)?

According to an earlier post the deal should last through June 30. Link is in the wiki.
