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.

expect ~$2.75 - $5 in "other fees" per line
(for me in bay area is $2.90...minimum is admin fee which is $2.50 )

search orbic wonder on ebay.

~$70 for "like new condition" 10/10
edit: didnt see u wanted it new

this deal is set to "expire soon"...but when exactly that is unknown
lots of speclation
no concrete evidence
Ballpark figure of when the deal will end? I have unlimited data on MetroPCS right now until the 27th and don't want to throw away 2 weeks of decent service I already paid for. Planned on doing the Sprint free year deal next Friday online and order a SIM through the mail.

so i called Sprint to have my phone activated. Provided sim card #, IMEI, and GV # and code. Rep told me to wait 10 min, and then service start. He waited patiently on the phone with me, and tried to call the Porting Dept, and realized they were closed, and probably gone for the day. How do I know when porting is successful? Does Sprint send an email or should I try my luck in another 30 min?

Thanks! I bit the bullet and decided to signup for the free year online. Thankfully my credit check went through without a hitch and I placed a order for a BYOD sim kit. I will port my number over to Sprint tomorrow.

Quick question, it says the $5 autopay credit doesn't start getting applied to your bills until after 3 billing cycles, so how much should my first bill be?

Also, when the end of my free year comes up, how do I cancel and close my Sprint account? Do I just simply port out my number to another provider/MVNO? I only ask because Sprint now has my SSN and credit and can try to bill me for service I don't have a line for anymore. I never had postpaid service by myself under my own SSN and credit, I've always been on prepaid after I left my parents ATT family plan years ago on my own.

Thank you

You can call or chat to cancel but your account may not close immediately. The surefire and recommended way is to port out.

$3 or $4 in taxes and fees plus the $5. Auto pay should subtract that $5 on the second billing statement. Do a chat if it doesnt

Thank you so much, is there an early termination fee? Like lets say the service after using it for a month sucks and I switch to Simple Mobile or something, will Sprint hit me with any charges on the free year of service plan?? I'm not sure how you pay your final bill once your account closes.
