Getting through to Tmob rep is a nightmare. Wait time ranges from 3 hours to 4+ hours. Then the rep asks to setup acct with personal information. WTF.

That person did not actually get it.

In my opinion, it would have just been just a typical sales ​misrepresentation where you go on a paid plan and get some rebates for a while or one line extended "free" when they sign up for 4 paid lines or some such distortion of an "extension".

If you want, though, call Account Services / Retentions at 1-888-211-4727 and ask the Retentions rep if you can have the Supernova upgrade and try to get as much details as possible as to what it is and who can get it.

Still unwilling to try the online portal? Take it all the way to the final page. Nothing happens til you input your CC info.

ok I just concluded the call with Sprint

SUCH OFFER EXIST if you upgrade your phone with them

I asked " how come the promo is called "bring your own device" yet you want me to get a phone from you to have it extended"....
Didn't bother to ask how much the cheaper phones are ....maybe someone would call and post here

TMobile has far far worse customer support in my experience than Sprint.
Not just retentions, even routine porting inquiries!

Absolutely true!

But I've had problems with them even on a business account - took literally days with hours on hold!

I would prefer using the portal than the cust rep. Not sure if this was an option as it wasn't mentioned in the wiki...they were all talking about calling the rep to port out the sprint number on to the digital sim.

Does the same procedure work via the portal for the digital SIM? Or does it require personal information to setup acct and the plan?

What am I missing?

Thx

I tested it once by inputting imei and sim info , then on next page look for 'more plans' and selected pay as you go. continued to checkout and as i recall you can port in your number or ask for a new number and then enter your CC info which obviously wants your home info and i believe the cost is $3 plus maybe taxes. That's as far as i went, so your input here is appreciated if you decide to do it that way.

Silly question whose answer I didn't see in the wiki:

If I order the sim card and the promotion ends before they arrive and I activate, do I lose out on the promo or would it be honored?

Thanks!
