Guess they are finally valuing their service quality at zero dollars!! Having unfortunate experience of being a sprint customer, I wholeheartedly concur with the valuation of their service.

Hi! I have ten specific questions that only pertain to my individual circumstances. I epitomize laziness and my sense of entitlement is impervious to reason. Therefore it is the responsibility of anyone and everyone who reads this to find the answers to my questions.

Quote from sabry :
Thanks already activated my phone and working, downloaded the app should I enroll in auto payment?
When I checked plans and services in the app it says requires $5 per m autopay discount and under services
$15 sprint complete smartphone
You need auto pay & eBill (paperless statement) to make the service free -- make sure you're signed up for both
Quote from uknowsana :
So you dont have to call in to ask for BYOD Deal?
Quote from lcds1 :
I thought you did have to call?! The more I read the more I get mixed up. I ordered the digital tm sim 6 hours ago. Not gotten numbers. Should have found one (like I did after the fact) that says you get them immediately.
You can order service online www.sprint.com/1yearfree (you have to pay for $3 SIM + $10 shipping and wait for it to come) -- only then you can finish port/activation online using www.sprint.com/activatenow

You also have a chance at $100 cash back -- I used BeFru online cash back portal and now I'll have to wait and see if they actually pay out in 3 months

If you have your own SIM card or the website gives you problem with credit check and/or ordering then you have to call the 8777 number in the wiki to sign up

Was trying to get the digital T-Mobile sim from eBay - not gotten numbers yet- that is listed under "how to get a second year" spouse has plan now was going to change it over to me. Need to call 877 to do that right? Online would be so much easier at the moment

If you need service quickly then you can port your Sprint number to TMo digital SIM for few hours -- after that you can call the 8777 number and sign up for service again under your name using your existing SIM (you won't have much downtime)

If you don't mind waiting for new SIM card to come then port to TMo for a few hours -- after that place online order for new service under your name and wait for the new SIM to come (you'll be without TMo service until the Sprint order comes)

You can't use existing SIM to signup for service online

Thanks for the update. Some people on this thread are spreading false information that phones purchased directly from Boost Mobile will work no problem with this promo.

I was just posting my personal experience. When I said that I had successfully swapped a Boost Motorola G6 play bought directly from Boost online onto one of my existing Sprint accounts, I posted about it here literally minutes after completion.

so called 8777 number, with the new XS Max, they say the phone is eligible, but not the sim. He kept saying that the ICC ID is giving him error. He suggested get another sim card from Apple store or buy one from Sprint store. BTW Apple store gave me the SIM 416TQ.
The sim is valid as is. Ask him to escalate it. They have some bugs in their process (or he typed it in wrong).

I bought a XS max ( Verizon version) apple store and asked for a 416TQ sprint sim. Called 877 number and port from Tmobile. The porting took like a couple of minutes (account already created).
So, I can only say it shall work.

Maybe it's your chance to get $100 cash back mentioned in other post by ordering online. :-)

After I opened a line I changed my phone to Motorola z2. After 50 days can I get it unlocked and use on GSM carriers?

Also I may add one more line. How do I get $100 back. I thought with BYOD you need to call CSR to get it done.

They themselves are mailing out 516TQ, but they should accept 416TQ also for compatibility purposes since there are so many of them out there.
Even if they prefer 516TQ.
I suppose it's conceivable they have been told not to accept 416TQ any more by default because of some late-arising issue.

You can try the ubiquitous ##25327# call to reset/refresh subscribers settings. And ##873283# call for update. Note I don't have an Xs.
