Quote from Rolanda_Shaniqua :
Oooh. They may have taken away the 10GB hotspot with the new deal (9/30), but now you can get Hulu? That's not too bad...

From the website:

You'll get:
TV you love, with Hulu
Stay connected with 500MB Mobile Hotspot
Streaming in DVD-quality
Unlimited in Mexico & Canada. Enjoy talk, text and 5GB of 4G LTE data
Global Roaming in over 185 worldwide destinations
Unlimited data, talk and text nationwide
Oh I see now that you're right and, as per hodaddy, that was just added on the site.

Quote from comintel :
You're quoting some other plan, not this one. This plan does not have any hotspot or permanent Hulu.
The features of this plan are listed accurately now at the top of this page, included the recent changes.
Hmm.... I see it in the FAQ section. https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/of...A1yearfree

I don't recall seeing that before. Another Sprint screw-up?

Oh they just updated that yesterday or today finally then. Up until yesterday that FAQ had the OLD unupdated values (1080p etc., 10 GB hotspot).

If it is correct, they have just added a 500 meg. hotspot and Hulu to the plan. Maybe they were waiting for the 500 meg. hotspot to be implemented across the network before updating it at all. Hulu is a surprise though.

People who got the plan recently should see if they have a 500 meg. hotspot now.

Actually as I recall one poster did post last night they he did have a hotspot so I suspect it is true.

10GB hotspot >>> Hulu + 0.5GB hotspot

I know there's always USB tether, but the native is so much nicer. Still 0.5 > 0.0.

Can someone help me as I have read the whole wiki and some of the latest pages but want to make sure I understand

Can I use a Boost Mobile Moto E4 as long as I never activated it on Boost?

Can I use a Boost Samsung J7 ? (Moto E4 is on "the list" but J7 is not, but I didn't know if ANY Boost phone will work since it is a Sprint phone at heart)

Couple questions:

1. Is there a time limit in which I can add more lines after initial sign up, or do they all need to be done at once?
2. How many lines can I add (I think its 5, but for some reason I just don't see it)

I just renewed on Monday using the same SSN/phone number after porting out for 45 days; literally down to a T, even including time I ported out. I was subject to additional credit screening and had to answer some specific questions about my old account, oddly enough. My call took about 49 minutes and that's with my porting information and all information that I had. I bet that it would have been quicker for some people that don't get flagged for credit review.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I just chatted with a rep online who claims that Hulu is included. However, I can't seem to tether at all on my LG G6 to see if I get 500 MB or 10 GB, I keep getting a "You are not subscribed to Data tethering" message.

Why does it say you'll get Hulu and then the bottom says it does not include Hulu? This is confusing. https://i.imgur.com/T1iCn62.png

Yeah, the person I chatted with online said at first that we don't get Hulu, then said we do when I pointed it out.

can you go to your dashboard and see what it says under manage plan> see details and maybe copy and paste what you see. It should show the specifics of your plan.

I don't see Hulu under mine, but the DVD streaming is mentioned:

You cannot use Boost phones on Sprint postpaid. Boost Moto G6 Play is a rare exception and may not last forever.

They can have my 10 MB hot spot, I would love for Hulu to be included. I would sign up for another line or have my wife open an account if they gave Hulu now.
