Under Add Services, I see HULU limited commercials $7.99 plan for $0.00/mo.

Is that right? HULU is included for free with the BYOD Free for a year plan?

With the same SSN, you have to be off Sprint 45 days to come back.

A different SSN can come back right away..
I have 3 lines which are currently on this unlimited, so I would need to port all 3 out to say, t-mobile. To port back do I need to use 3 different SSNs or just for the Main account? ( i dont remember if I gave them 3 SSNs when I did this a year ago ).

thanks

No it has always been there like that and it has never given more than a trial on this plan. All of the offers of the Paid plan (including also the high-end international travel options) are listed there but do not work. They reused the paid plan interface.

Super!

Good job in doing it the right way (which is to just do it, without, as some people insist on doing, asking them a series of unnecessary questions about its effect on the plan etc, about which they do not have authority to give guarantees, however unlikely any such effect would be, and would force them to note your account and transfer you elsewhere, leading nowhere useful).

(You often have to reset PRL and maybe profile / reset carrier data. Just rebooting does not necessarily do that - phone still thinks it has the old number. All of that is not unusual as you know).

You just need one new SSN to port back to Sprint.

Call roaming is included, but I think I saw something about your call roaming minutes cannot exceed non-roaming minutes in a month and roaming data is limited to 800MB in a month. I'm not 100% sure on this, but pretty confident.

PdaNet+ does NOT require a rooted phone. It'll work on an unrooted or a rooted device.

IF you have a rooted phone you can use this, it's worth it but it costs a couple of $:

It does NOT work on unrooted phones.


As usual, ANY question one may have on this deal it has been answered in this thread. Just do a pointed and intelligent thread search, read and you'll find the answer pretty quickly.

Twilio.com is a good place to park your number for longer periods of time.
Only $1/month and I believe you must prepay 12 months.
I use it for my old fax line. Someday I will want it as a phone number.

My free year expired with the July bill. I got an email that I would be changed to the $60 plan on 7/21. My auto pay went thru for August still only being billed $3.67.


Anyone else seeing this? I read the last 2 pages did not see it reported.

Did you check your bill? Did your bill read the $65 plan (- $5 w/ autopay ) and only ended up getting charged $4?
