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.

Tried to go as many pages as I could to find the answer but still am not sure - we are on the 1 year free plan under my dads SSN, that is ending next month and I wanted to port those lines out and take advantage of another year under MY SSN (so a new SSN), will that work? I'm essentially porting out of sprint back into sprint just under a different SSN.
Port out from Sprint to T-Mobile using the $3.25 digital T-Mobile sim card on eBay and then port back from T-Mobile back to Sprint. Whole process of port out and then re-port back in takes less than 20 minutes https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=117049859&postcount=21051

Quote from 7-Sins :
I am in some blackhole where I have received the SIM, but they dont have record of my account from my social / I don't have a login / my order numbers don't pull anything up. Trying to troubleshoot defaults their script to sales like a new customer Frown

The account number enclosed with the SIM gets phone rep asking for a PIN or "my pets name"... I dont remember setting up a PIN yet? (gave them what PIN I would have made if asked) and I dont have a pet
I was in the exact same situation a month ago.

When I first called, they told me I needed to go in-store and show 2 types of ID, and also that they wanted to do a hard-pull (which would have been the 2nd one). That didn't sound right to me, so I kept trying different numbers. I believe they thought I wanted generic service.

My problem was solved when I called the PROMOTIONS department and very clearly told them I was signing-up for the free 1 year service promo for bringing your own device, told them I didn't have an account yet. You may have already tried this as it is what's listed in the Wiki, but even so I missed it myself the first few times - I think it is the 866-782-8777 number.

Whoever you get a hold of, make sure the first thing you tell them is that you want to sign-up for the free 1 year of service promo, and that you don't have an account yet. Once I did that, they didn't bother asking me to go in-store to show ID or anything like that. Can't recall if they ended up asking for the additional hard-pull though...

Hope that helps - good luck!

Hours after Tmo port I call 866-437-1818 and they want me to enter the number to transfer...

" the line you entered is already an active Sprint number"

what do I do now? Same for all 5 lines, message on Sprint site using old account says account canceled, all lines pass I'm and phone number check.
Reset and activate/ update your phones (especially update profile settings) and reboot. It takes a bit of time and trial and error.

I have no choice. 20 mins left at work. Sadly I have to find a way to call when I get home, I have no lines to call with. I thought I had all my ducks in a row but I guess I didn't. I bet when someone from Sprint mentioned "what if they just Port out and back in at the end of the first year" the boss laughed and said "we cant stop them but we won't make it easy".

Yes to all of those. Current end of savings date is Jul 31 2019 for new takers-up.

Deal could end any time including possibly 1 day from now. There may be no advance notice when it does.

that is a problem with the wiki.
people can edit it as they see fit..and some time/many times they will add delete correct information and substitute with incorrect information

correct information:
Promo Status: Limited Time offer . it can end any time

why was it updated?
Revision shows updated by Ultrasoul to 7/31/18. I think this was guy who said he worked for Sprint corporate but was wrong before.
I'll go with Karl free service for Sprint lifetime, got to be positive.

'Promo Status: Limited Time offer and can end anytime. It may end on 6/30. No one knows- but just as likely to get extended to 7/31. No one knows. If u want in....get started now..do not wait... '

I don't see anything wrong with this statement.

My sim card will arrive Mon so I ask in Chat if it's still OK to activate the sim with promotion that will end tomorrow, here's the answer:

Ronny Anderson: With the current information that we have available about the promotion it is not showing if the promotion will still be applied if the SIM card will be activated before the time frame, please get in touch with my colleagues at 866-782-8777. they will have all the details about the promotion and further assist with the information.

Chat never has any information about this promotion. They know nothing about it. It has always been call 866-782-8777 only.

But Sprint always honors orders that are already approved at the time a promotion ends (e.g, kickstart showed this) so I would not worry about it.

Usually those Verizon/XFinity prepaid models are locked to Verizon/XFinity and will not work here.
