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.

Sorry but I didn't got why are you replying me with link to the Sprint page, it says the same as I said "service includes data up to 2G speeds and texts for no add'l charge". $5/day for a pass for a few days works well. But $40 for ten days is a bit expensive (don't forget that both incoming/outgoing calls are $.20)
Because you did not mention the high-speed offer so I could not tell if were aware of it or not in drawing your conclusions. So I asked. But my reply was mainly for the original poster. I copied you more as a courtesy since you replied first to the original poster. I try not to post about a topic without acknowledging prior helpful posters and trying to build on their useful information.

Nor Visual Voicemail. Nor possibly TMo roaming (not sure about that one). Nor HPUE signal enhancement. Nor carrier aggregation. Nor any possibility (probably) of VoLTE etc.

So I would not touch a generic non Sprint model myself. They are vastly inferior on Sprint. Some of the Sprint LG's are reasonable cost.
Wow that's good to know. I think I might return that and get a G6 LS993 since there's one that's "like new" on Ebay for like $150.

Are we able to get the free AAA renewal while on the free plan? Sprint texted me about it and I just want to make sure it's not going to mess up my plan if I sign up for it.

On a whim before I ordered my SIM card through Sprint, I went through a cashback site... $100 pending cleared and I was able to cash out. This deal keeps getting better!

Signed up a little over a month ago (via phone). Was charged an activation fee of around $35. Is this normal? I read through the wiki but didn't see any mention of it.

Anyone else having trouble swapping out to a different phone. I just bought a used Sprint phone online and they can't swap my line to it and keep on opening tickets to have it swapped. The phone is a legit sprint phone, paid off. O balance due, not black listed. Any insight will help

What error do you get if you enter the imei on the eligibility page?

If it says "You owe Sprint" you will have get its prior mvno flag cleared (ignore the literal misleading wording of the error in this case, which has nothing to do with the actual problem).

You cannot move Sprint phones from mvno use to postpaid use without doing so.

AT&T versions never were eligible.
If the phones are already active on Sprint then that itself is the reason.

It should have been waived on this offer. Chat to get it credited back.

Also check you are on the free plan and that no insurance is being charged since sometimes one error goes with others.
