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.

well. when they set up my account, they had my email address wrong. so i guess i will have to fix it first for online access.

if i change to a different phone, would it be one of those existing one? or anyone that should work... like my cheap blu phone?
If your account is already active, and your number ported over, then you can swap to any Sprint-compatible phone. I swapped to an old Samsung, not on the "approved list" in the wiki.

Currently trying to port my number out to T-Mobile online. Was getting the grayed out Continue button, but now it's started giving the error "Number not eligible for transfer" when I put in my existing number. I checked my spouse's non-Sprint number too and got the same error. And when the page loads to the "Get a new number" option by default, it shows the error "No numbers are available in your area" lol

Anyone else get this? Is T-Mobile blocking ports now or something?
I only got the greyed-out Continue button. I tried both Chrome and IE with the same result. I'll try again tomorrow I guess.

Can a Boost phone be used with Sprint? Sorry if this has been asked before...a lot of comments in this thread!
Generally no, but some have had success specifically with the Boost Motorola G6 Play and the Motorola E4 that have never been activated before

I ported my Sprint account to Total wireless on 8/13/2018 and now trying to get the 1 year BYOD service again. I'm getting the run around from telesales. First rep said I qualified and got all my info, SIM #, SS#, etc. He was saying I would need to insert my new SIM in the device.... then the line went dead. I called back and spoke with another rep who found my old account and said the promotion ended on Sept 30th (yesterday), that I will need to sign up for standard service. My old account has a zero balance as of 8/8/18. Whats the deal? its been 45 days.
45 days is not enough...

u must be careful when u post such info

u didnt mention what plan u already had and when u got it

if u had the plan before around ~7/15 then yes any additional lines will mirror that plan and so u will get the 10gb HP

makes a difference

Confirmed that I was able to get this plan with an iPhone XS (from Apple unlocked for all carriers) is eligible via telesales without any issues as long as you get the proper SIM card from a Sprint store (or Apple per the Wiki). Online site showed non-compatibility as I assume there servers don't have the new iPhone IMEIs uploaded for online sales. Furthermore, a $19(?!) and not a $13 protection plan was automatically added. Chatted with a rep while on Sprint's network via their My Sprint app and got it removed. I'll take this win!

The online account remains accessible after your account is otherwise closed so that does not indicate a problem.

Give it a try! Most probably there will be no problem.

Countless people have succeeded after 45 days (though more could be needed if the account did not close right away).

Here's one example where a Sprint rep. quoted 45 days:

https://community.sprint.com/t5/B...d-p/986191


"a different or new account creation is most likely not available until 45 days have passed, I've seen many cases where this happens."

Do I woke up thinking I would be ported out to tmo. Getting a message from S saying my account could not be validated and to call CS.
I did get this message yesterday when I tried to call out using my phone and both times went on the S site put in my IMEI and it shows my phone and the 60 $ plan.
I AM and have followed the post about "click here for easy way ...". Every step.
Yes tmo said it would take 24 hours that was 26.5 ago.
Is it that it just hasn't ported yet?
I don't know what is wrong?!
Sure hasn't been as simple as the posts make it seem it has been or should be.

Can I add a second line with this promotion? I already have one line with the free for a year plan. I do plan on cancelling my 1st line in about 2 months.
