So Yeah I read the WIKI till the bottom but still checking as the last chance from SD experts. I am in the BYOD plan and expiring this month. How do I get another year free?

Option 1. Stay away from sprint for 45 days and come back - I seriously doubt this offer would still be available then

Option 2: Create a new account with a different SS number

Option 3 : ??????????
My guess would be the offer will be there until T-Mobile merger is completed. Sprint is trying to lure more customer base....

No, not when u port out online utilizing the $3+ tax pay-go plan.
You'll get a 9 digit acct# via e-mail & don't forget to create a 4 digit PIN also.
Port out from Sprint to T-Mo & e-mail happened in about 5 minutes.
Well worth it IMO considering I got a slew of free SIMs from the Apple Store.

Successfully activated for a second year for 2 lines last night coming from Mint Mobile. I waited 50 days between cancelling and reapplying.

One question I had is the salesperson repeated 4 or 5 times that because I declined the ridiculous $13 phone insurance, I have to wait 4 months before I am allowed to make any changes on my account such as switch to a different BYOD phone. This sounds false to me, but thought I would see if anyone had any experience with this.
Just cancel the insurance online in your account. Only takes a minute. The 120 day rule is just about upgrading through Sprint. You can swap out to another Sprint device that you already own at any time.

Other than that, it doesn't look like anything is different from the last round.
