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.

Have 2 lines started up in Nov of last year, ported in 1 extra line Jan of this year, currently end date all say Jan 31, 2019. If I port in 1 more line this month, will it extend the expiry date for all lines to June 30, 2019?
No.
It is not the second line that extended the dates to Jan 31.​
Everybody in that period got the same Jan. 31 2019 date even though that gave some people a couple of extra months.

If you add another line the date will be Jan 31 2019.

Is there an advantage in having multiple lines under same account than having all separate lines under the free 1 year plan?

Craigslist or a pawn shop. Just check that it works before you finalize the deal. Personally I think an LG G4 or LG G5 give the most bang for the buck.

this is where you should check..

https://www.sprint.com/en/landing...phone.html [sprint.com][/QUOTE

Does the LG G4 have to be Sprint---I think it does. I have a Verizon LG-G4 and I don't think it will work. Sure wish it would tho.
I tried LG G4 imei in eligilibility checker and it shows not eligible.

Single acct means more SSNs free to open new accts down the line. It also means one person gets to see all activity for all phones on the acct.

I need to get new number with some carrier and port it into sprint with this offer. My present number is with company carporate account. What is the cheapest way to get new number.
T-Mobile method in the Wiki is the best way... Just ask for a new number when you call. Make sure you set-up and remember the pin! I wasted $3 and trashed a "good" number because of that.

You can reset the PIN,if it was virtual Sim card ask the guy in ebay if he still has the Sim he will help you.

Just to let you know what I did:

Search item number 173247016698 on ebay. The guy will message you a sim number almost instantly. Check the sim card number here [t-mobile.com]. The first one he sent me wasn't valid, he sent me another number that worked. As someone mentioned above, you don't actually need the physical sim card to port into T-mobile. Again, as someone mentioned, after you've ported out to T-mobile, check your phone's imei number on sprint here [sprint.com]. When the sprint site says the device is eligible, call the sprint number from the wiki.

I never gave T-mobile any personal information, nor did I pay $3 to set up the line. Like the wiki said, I just told them that I would get a prepaid card once the line ported over. I think the only "cost" of porting the number is the sim card cost?

Total time spent: ~30 minutes
which plan to signup when port to tmobile?

So I ordered the BYOD sims from sprint (for byod round 2). I went to sign up for my sprint acount online so I could activate, but I get "The account owner restricted online access to this account. To update account access, please call 1-888-788-0788 (M-F 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. Central). For corporate business accounts, please contact your dedicated care representative."

Should I call this # to hash out online access first, or just go to 866-782-8777 and activate over the phone??? Either way is going to suck as for round 2 it is a family member's SSN (they will use one of the phones), who is not really in tune with what to ask/watch out for/what not to say for this deal. And opposite gender as me.

Last time I never had to call in until adding additional lines

EDIT: looks like that is their Fraud Dept. #

I'm on free plan currently. Want to get it for one more year. I read through the thread and below is what I understand what I need to do to get the plan again.

1.Use tmobile ebay $3 and port out my 2 lines
(Can I keep my numbers?)

2. After my phone became eligible on sprint site, call the sprint number and port in again from sprint. (It means I can use my current phones again? Just want to make sure)

3. Do I need 2 new sims? If so, I'll be without phones until I get the sims in mail.
(Can I use my old sims)

4. Is there a chance that sprint will deny me getting the plan since I'm currently on their free plan?

Thanks
