Out of 15 Apple stores so far, every one gave a free Sprint SIM when you mention an iPhone model.

Quote from Peichen :
Why do people keep saying you can get free SIM at Apple Store? I went to the one in Queens Center in Rego Park and the one in Grand Central Terminal and both said they don't give out SIMs nor do they have them lying around. All the carrier models have SIM already installed in the phone and the unlocked model isn't sold with SIM.
NY is not the center of the Universe. People have been picking up free Sims from Apple stores throughout the Country since this deals inception.

This company is crazy. Guess Sprint has no value for loyal customers and knows nothing about marketing (At least not enough). After being with this company for more than a decade, talked several times to their CS and telling that compare to others, they are ripping me off and disrespecting my loyalty. What they answered? Sorry we can't do any better and all good deals we advertise are for new customers, not you fool who stayed with us for so long. So now I could not be any happier with T-Mobile and go screw yourself Sprint.

I signed up for this service on 8/31/18 via phone call. The rep told me that free service is available for 1 year until 8/31/19, after that there will be regular monthly charge. When i sign in to my account it says the savings until 9/30/19. I am confused, is free service on my line available until 8/31/19 (per rep) or 9/30/19 (per plan details on my account)?

You can get any new customer offer after 45 days away from Sprint.

In fact you can get them immediately with no delay by having a spouse or relative open the account for you to share under their SSN.

Other carriers have the same requirement but generally require periods that are 60 days or longer to get their new customer offers after having been a customer.​

45 days of hassle and no coverage?! Thanks for the hint but how about No. I have a much better solution that worked for me, in real life. Just dump Sprint and join T-Mobil. You can't be happier, as I am...
Sprint doesn't understand the value of loyal customers so deserves NONE.

You can also do it with no delay at all by having a spouse or relative open the account for you to share under their SSN. Sprint is perfectly ok with this.

No carrier will give new customer offers to existing customers except one of these ways.

All mobile companies have new customer only promos. And those other companies wont price-match current customers to a new customer promo either.
