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.

Telesales, and no i didn't..... LOL I guess i should have huh? She said she put a note in the system. Break it to me, how screwed am i?
Unfortunately TeleSales is usually about the worst because you are asking them to self-report their error and lose the commission.

But give it the 24 hours and do not call TeleSales again. Personally I would then call Cancellations as I posted. Cancellations is also Retentions and you are making a threat to cancel. That department does have the power to change plans on the spot.

so true

i had 4 lines on this for free and had to switch carriers because in miami the service simply doesnt work

half the time the call would drop the other half the call would never connect

dont think i ever had a call end with me pressing end

data simply didnt work ever
This is odd because I live and work and drive all over and my experience is opposite. Excellent coverage and seems to be improving. Were all 4 lines on the same phone model?
If so did they all get all Sprint bands? 41 is important .
I've 5 lines active and two other groups have several. All on various Androids.
The only group that had lasting problems were on iphones. They went back to Verizon.
I want to suggest that your phones were never provisioned properly but it doesn't make sense if all 4 had the same problem.

Here is a little tidbit. In trying to bolster their case to merge with TMO, Sprint has released a realistic coverage map. No wonder half the Country complains.
Florida is one of their best though.

To get second year, first I was able to successfully port my number to T-Mobile prepaid using digital SIM (eBay). I confirmed (tried to add funds over phone) with T-mobile and my number is active with T-mobile.

I have chatted with Sprint customer service to confirm my account closure and paid of my balance. Now Sprint said zero balance and my account is closed. When I checked my Sprint account online, it says zero balance and no number is associated with this account.

Now I have called Sprint Porting number 866-437-1818 and entered my T-Mobile to port to Sprint, but the automated system says this number is still active with Sprint. Don't why there is a difference between the agent info and this automated message info. Any clues?

Not sure I understand you. Did you call telesales with a different SSN to sign up again for this promo? Have you reviewed the wiki?

Sprint already has signed a 4 year roaming agreement(NOT merger dependant) with T-Mobile. So extended LTE from T-Mobile should help Sprint. Not sure when it will be implemented.

I have checked earlier and it says does not support. I have checked after 4 hours and it says it is eligible now. But still the Sprint porting number 866-437-1818 says my number is still active with Sprint. Looks like there is some disconnect

I have reviewed the Wiki multiple times as it covers most of the questions. Before signup, I want to make sure my number is disconnected from Sprint. So I have called Sprint number 866-437-1818 and it says my number is still an active number. The online BYOD page now says my phone number is eligible. Some disconnect with the online info and 866-437-1818 porting number automated info

If the checker says it's eligible then it's ok to proceed.

Please make sure your phone is no data no calls no message, then call sprint to cancel your account and pay off your balance. wait 45 mins to call sprint one year offer.
