Quote from glenton :
Are the recent references to the deal ending September 13 all based on the video on the Sprint web site or is that also found somewhere else? Also wondering if a date has always been mentioned in previous versions of the videos on the offer web site, if any.
There haven't been any previous videos in the past year. There was one over a year ago when the plan launched and it had an expiry date that was ignored.

Groupon also lists a Sept.14 end date: https://www.groupon.com/coupons/s...sprint.com

Most end dates previously mentioned by Sprint in email confirmations etc. have been and of month but a few have been mid month - usually associated with rumors of plan changes (which often did not happen) or actual plan changes.

The end of savings date will have to be moved at the very least. Currently it is Sept 30, 2019. That usually jumps 2 or 3 months at time. If that moves to say end of November or end of December, it will be a positive sign. That could happen any time after around mid month (or not until month end).

But I think you will see things break one way or the other around mid month.

Black Friday and the holidays are coming up and with all the recent monkeying around with plans we have seen in the past few months, I think there will be some more. They are really tinkering now and also playing with Flash promotions a lot. It is not like the calm we had a year ago.

I'm using virgin $50 month plan, is it possible to switch to sprint (I know Virgin uses Sprint's towers)
Yes but I believe you have to call virgin and ask them to set your phone up for postpaid use.

1. Go to sprint.com/mysprint and sign in to your account
2. Upper menu, mysprint -> Change Services
3. You should read "Your current services - You have no current services", otherwise remove TEEP

Quote from gopenhill :
To all who are coming back to sprint after around 45 days, did you use the same old account or
sprint created a new account?
It is a new account with a new account number.

But you can leave it to the rep to decide. As long as he/she gives you the full year plus, you do not care. I have had a rep say they sometimes do it either way.

Yes but the point is that if you are cutting the sim it is the wrong sim for your phone in the first place on Sprint.

A given phone model takes a given sim and they already fit as is. If you have to cut it, is the wrong sim for this phone.

There are many different sim types on Sprint. You have to use the right one for your model. You cannot just try old sims or you will be left fighting with the reps when they do not work. If you know very exactly that a specific sim worked on FP in that particular phone, yes you can reuse it on Sprint with that specific phone (if the phone qualifies).

The correct Sprint sim for any phone is $2.99 delivered from Twigby which is a Sprint MVNO and therefore an authorized official source.

You cannot avoid the credit check.

Buying from the Sprint store is about the worst place to buy a phone and they are not taking part in this offer either.

Read this thread and Wiki about using low cost new Boost Moto phones and the special cautions you need to use in doing so since they are intended for prepaid use only. They come with sims.

My current sprint one year free plan ending 09/30/18. I am planning to extended this by another year by adding myself to my friends plan who took this offer last month.

I have a mintmobile Starter Kit I recently bought from Amazon. Would it possible to port out to mintmobile and port back to sprint without any issues/charges?

I read the wiki, I know its possible using tmobile digital sim. But since I have the mintmobile Starter Kit , I wanted to know if I could do using mintmobile Starter Kit that comes with a physical sim? Thanks

In the wiki, many of the iphones state "Verizon only."

Does this mean a Sprint iphone will not work?

I have a Sprint iphone 7 on the old SERO plan, but I'd like to port to Tmobile, and back to this Sprint BYOD plan to save the $50/month.

Cannot check IMEI since the phone is already in use on Sprint.

Mint is a TMO mvno so yes, but I do not know if Mint could have some restrictions like some mvno's do. I doubt it - after all it is a Mint trial so you have to be able to port out if you do not like it.
