For a 1 year renewal, anyone know if porting out to Project Fi, then back to Sprint works? I read about porting to T-Mobile prepaid but just a thought.

Looks like T-Mobile SIM from apple store would work after I searched the thread and found some old posts about it. Does anyone know the physical SIM can be reused? I only got one SIM card, but need to port two lines over. I know that the digital SIM purchased from eBay can be reused. Would love to hear any experience trying to reuse physical SIMs. Thanks a lot in advance!

Yes it can be reused. It was eligible after porting back to Sprint. I waited a day but T-Mobile sim checker showed valid when I checked after 2 hours(probably even sooner).

I am trying to port my Sprint numbers to Tmobile prepaid using Tmobile's online prepaid line 'bring my own device' option, https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/prep...wn-device.

However, no matter what I do I cannot pass the last stage, where I entered my current Sprint number, account #, and pin, to be transferred to Tmobile ("Use your existing number" option). The 'Continue' button at the bottom is always grayed out.

Anyone had a similar problem and knows how to fix this?

Project Fi is a Sprint mvno so it would cause temporary problems if you put the phone on it. It would set the mvno flag. You would then have to get Fi to reset that flag later before you could move the phones back onto Sprint They can do this on request but it does not happen automatically.

But if you put ONLY the number on it, not the phone, that should probably be ok I guess because it would be a Google number, presumably, unless Google Fi does something weird with registering it with Sprint.

Others may be able to clarify further.

It might be safer to take another route.

try this link http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plan...Codes.aspx you will need prepaid sim kit or valid sim with activation code.
I don't have a valid t-mobile sim so cannot try you link.

From what I've read, Sprint will unlock phones that are locked to their service after 50 days. Does that mean if I locally buy a used phone that is locked to Sprint and sign up for this free plan, it will become unlocked after 50 days? Or does that only happen if you're subscribed to a "real" Sprint plan that isn't free?

This is a real Sprint postpaid plan. Same rules apply.

Thanks for that link, but it requires an activation code (which I do not have, I bought electronic SIMs).

Still, the SIM I have is detected as valid through the link I posted, but it is still stuck at last page.

That would mean it thinks your port-in information (phone number or pin or account number) is wrong.

Lol, I've been trying that for three days now and it's always a 2+ hour hold time! But, I guess, that's the only way to go.

Have you triple-checked your Sprint account number, Sprint pin and Sprint phone number to be ported to TMO (I am assuming the TMO page asks for these)?
Also tried another browser?
