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.

im a bit last minute on this deal...im leaving the country tomorrow, and wont be back for a few months. i want to switch from at and t (my phone is unlocked)...my question is if i buy the sim from bestbuy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/boost-mobile-tri-branded-sim-card-activation-kit/5887020.p?ref=8575135&... [bestbuy.com] would i be able to activate this on the sprint network today?
Yes by calling the number ending in 8777 after you get the sim.

However that 3-in-one kit is (at last report) out of date with respect to the newest iPhones and a couple of other very recent phones.

You did not state what phone you have.

If oy have one of those very recent phones you need the new 4-in one sim kit which Best Buy does not (at last report) have yet. You can get it at any CORPORATE-OWNED-ONLY Sprint store.

Or you can look up the specific sim required for your phone and buy that.

thanks so much for the reply.

i have an iphone 6s. there is a corporate store close to me, it sounds like i would be better off getting a sim from there and completing everything else by phone, correct?

6S is an older phone so that kit would be fine.
Either way is fine - Best Buy or Sprint.
Also free at most Apple stores.

Correct, do NOT sign up for a plan in the store because that is not allowed for this plan.

CALL the number ending in 8777 to sign up after you have the sim.

They typically extend the date 2 or 3 months at a time, about 12 months and 2 or 2 weeks ahead of the prior date (Nov. 30) so that was a very typical extension that occurred last week and was noted here at the time..

The next decision day to watch for will likely be early to mid January, if the pattern holds, though they could do anything anytime if they wanted.

What the Sprint offer says is "new customers only." Just ask them to kindly confirm with the Credit Department that Sprint's definition of a new customer eligible for this promo is anyone who has not had an active Sprint account under their SSN for 45 days. They can check with the credit department who will confirm that and remove your SSN from the old account so that the computer will then allow Sales to sign you up.
So, I called back and told the new rep that I was disconnected and couldn't complete the process. The new rep then proceeded with setting up my account for free service through 1/31/2020.

Need some help on this. If I am able to score couple of iphone from walmart black friday deal ($300/$400 GC on iphone ) would I able to make it work on sprint free 1yr BYOD plan? I already have two BYOD lines with Sprint and need to upgrade my phones. Since the ad mentions the GC applies only on activation on qualified plans, do I have to add new lines of service and then pay it off and cancel the lines to be able to use the devices on 1 yr BYOD plans? How soon would I be able to pay off the line and get the new lines cancelled? Also, would there be hard pull on new lines if I have BYOD plan already? Thnx in advance for your inputs.

With Sprint, you are basically gonna owe for a month of PAID service, for each new Line.

How is a Verizon S8+ not eligible?
Edit:
My S7 Edge from ATT doesn't work either.
Just got my Verizon s8+ activated. Maybe urs is not white listed, just guessing.
