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.

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.
No contract. No fees. Cancel anytime. I'm think autopay takes care of that final bill. Be sure to watch your CC

Thanks, does autopay automatically charge each month when the new billing cycle begins like MetroPCS/Cricket does? I'm assuming the thing with post-paid is you're allowed to pay for the month of service within 30 days of the new bill like a credit card bill correct? I'm so use to pre-paid so sorry for all the questions.

After 45 Days of porting out, your old account will be cancelled and cleared from Sprint servers, so you will be eligible again.
Family had 2 separate Sprint accounts, both for this Free One Year Service Plan since about a year ago.

We consolidated into one Sprint account by porting out each line in the second account to H2O and subsequently adding those lines into the first account.

It has been at least 4 months since we did that.

The second account is still around that I can access and can still see the last payment made back then; that second account has been showing "You have a zero balance this month, no payment is due." for at least 4 months now.

Is that expected? How to tell whether that second account was "cancelled"?

Can I use that second account now to add new lines for other family members for this Free One Years Service Plan? Or do I need to create a separate account (using the same SSN as what was used for that second account)?

Cam those who had had experiences with the "45-day" policy I've read mentioned several times share?

If I understand correctly the old account that still open will still have a 2018 and date. So yes, open a new account on a new SS number. Port numbers out and back in if they are currently on Sprint.

Was able to open an account last night and activate it with the $79 Moto G6 Play from Boost. The MEID came up as prepaid but the rep contacted the tech department to clear it and all was good.

These are probably answered already, but I guess my search kung fu is lacking. Thanks in advance for any help:
  • First, is there any way to take advantage of this plan, but get locked into the Kickstarter $15/line plan once the free year is over?
  • Second, is there any FREE way to generate an IMEI for an approved device so that I can get my lines reserved while I wait for the actual devices to ship?

I got nothing but reps to offer, but thank you to anyone who helps!

1. No. there isn't even a way to know if anyone will have the Kickstart plan a year from now.

2. There certainly is no legal way. And chances are you're going to need to confirm your device is working if you are thinking of a long delay before you use the line.

There are people who would try to resell this plan, or lines on the plan, and that's one reason they're so strict about identity and that plans are actually being used as intended, not sitting idle.

What's the quickest and cheapest way to get an eligible phone for the FREE Unlimited promo to park an additional number? I'm trying to find IMEI from a super old broken iphone 6, but not sure I can breathe enough life into it to read the IMEI. (Screen badly damaged, etc)

Mostly need to park and preserve the number, and have a fifth line approved already in my Sprint account, so at some level even an IMEI number of a dead device might do -- although I've heard if the phone number is never used, ti raises fraud alerts and shuts down all numbers? Is that right? I don't mind buying a cheapo phone either, might be handy as a backup.

I also have a phone on Freedompop, but not sure how to deactivate and how long it takes for an IMEI to be cleared and ready to recycle?

Thanks for your suggestions and ideas.
