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.

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.
First off, look in your dashboard>manage plan>see details. It should look something like this: (of course, after you make an online sprint account.)
Unlimited - Bring Your Phone
Unlimited Talk, Text, and Data.
$5/line/mo up to 5 lines. (Free with AutoPay until 9/30/18)
International Text from the US. (Plan FAQ says Sprint Global Roaming included, so also in many other countries: https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/se...aming.html)
Requires $5 per line/per month AutoPay discount.
Savings until 11/30/19; then $60/mo Line #1, $40/mo Line#2 and $30/mo each Lines 3-5 AutoPay required.

If not, that is a problem. Let us know.

You can also look at orders and transfers> check transfer status.

Second, i believe you have an iphone7 procured from Swappa? I'm not an iphone expert but others here can help. If it truly has ported then the phone may just need to be activated.

i've already been with them for about a year and it's expiring so i ported out..

i'm talking about the offer they are offering to retain customers who've already done this.


so instead of paying $12 a month for 4 lines, i'd be getting it actually free for the next 6 months now? has anyone else received this offer? i'm wondering if i don't even have to pay taxes either..

The phone still shows in spouse name when I put the imei in at S site. The account info plan etc.
So i cannot make an online account for it until it says "available" correct?
It says Sprint in the upper left corner right now. I am using WiFi.
Yes it is a swappa phone - but it's been on the plan for the last year. So does that still apply?
I'm stubborn. Others are able to make this work. So not giving up - yet.

Just go this email from Sprint:

Your Unlimited promo is ending soon.
You're currently signed up for our One Year Free service promotion, which will end on 10/31/18.

Great news! Your new monthly service plan will be effective 11/1/18 and you will continue to enjoy all the same plan features at pricing below our normal rates. Your new monthly service plan pricing is shown below:

Line 1: $25
Line 2: $25
Line 3: $25
Line 4: $25
Line 5: $25

Price per line reflects a $5/mo per line AutoPay discount. Other monthly charges apply.**

We appreciate having you as a Sprint customer and are always looking for ways to deliver the most savings to you.
For any questions, call us at 888-211-4727.

I had three lines on my free plan. I have already ported one line away to start new free plan (husband's ss#).I had responded to questionnaire about why I left. I answered I didn't want to pay more than $30 a month and I wanted to have tethering.
Sprint has worked great for me in my area. Seriously considering the offer, especially since it doesn't seem to be a promo plan.

Many people get that message. It usually shows up if phone was on sprint mvno or in your case maybe FI. The database PLBL flag needs changed to SPCS. Contact FI if you used them or search the thread for reddit user LiterallyUnlimited. You need to use phone browser instead of App to search the thread.

There's a lot of info to comb through here and can't find an answer to my specific question.

Will this promo work if I order the iPhone XS with a Sprint sim through Apple? I am currently on Project Fi with a Pixel. Would I need to activate the iPhone on a different carrier first? Or can I just take it with the Sprint sim and get this deal right away?
