Thanks for the tips! I called this afternoon and got the BYOD 1-year free service activated. Took about 25 minutes. I was able to use my existing Sprint SIM, no need to buy a new one. Much better than the online sign-up process....
good data point..folks who sign up..pay attention to this..

I need help with 2 questions please:

1. I added a line a year back and got the free for a 1 year deal, can I port in a 2nd # and get a free year for this new line? am I eligible?
2. Can I cancel my line after the year is up? how do I cancel the line?

So wait, I literally get 1 year of free service if I switch my unlocked phone to Sprint? No monthly fees for a whole year?!

What's the catch?

You have to pay taxes still which is about $5 per line and you have to deal with sprint's shitty service.

My line was activated on Sunday night. Great speeds to download, bad for Uploading.

Today the hot spot option is active, for the past days the option of hot spot was off, automatically. Today I check it and now it is optional, like my tmobile line, on or off.

What does this mean?

We got hot spot for 1 year?

Besides the promo says "no hot spot!?"

If you are not talking to Account Services, call them at 1-888-211-4727 as only they have the authority to cancel the paid plan immediately. Account Services is specialized to deal only with account cancellations and related areas,

Or port out and port back in and make 100% sure you get the right plan this time.

There is a 100% money back satisfaction guarantee if you cancel the paid plan within 15 days.
