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.

I see it is indeed listed as supported.

Perhaps it is or was on Fi or another Sprint MVNO?

To help diagnose, try it on the following alternate Sprint checker https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/br...YOD%3AShop

and also the Tello and Ting checkers, then again on the Sprint checker..
It was a silly wrong number in the imei, all good now. Thanks Smilie

Just so everyone is aware, yes, this is a great deal. Be aware however that Sprint's service sucks. Coverage is spotty, you'll get drop calls all the time, LTE speeds are mediocare at best and Sprint doesn't support VoLTE. the lack of VoLTE means that once you're on a call you won't be able to surf the internet. Sprint's customer service is also terrible. I switched to Sprint from T-Mobile but after 3 months of use I had it and switched back.

Oh that's all covered every which way and it can any carrier or non-carrier including certainly Ultra and even FreedomPop, Google Voice etc.

For Twigby, did you try this URL:

https://www.twigby.com/shop/twigb...s/simcards
Thank you! I see that twigby is no longer just sending the Sim, they are on to this.

I went to Sprint online, it was free shipping.

Never dropped a call and service is great for me. You can't use your own personal experience for others as service will vary from one location to the next.

Can I reuse the same virtual Tmobile SIM as well ?
When i did it months ago, i was able to reuse the sim # and was available for re-use for at least 30 days. Now i check it and its not valid. One way to check your digital sim is to go here: https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/brin...own-device enter zip and then skip IMEI check, enter your sim number and tap the little info symbol.

Now that phoning into tmo is wanting the $3 anyway then i would suggest just doing it online. That way the account number and pin get emailed. This method has always worked fine in the past and ports were done rather quickly. Select the pay as you go plan.

I agree as well. No issues with the service at all. On my 2nd year with the free service.

Sprint service sucks in your area. Why would you generalize on some of your points. A lot of us have enjoyed this Sprint promo. Go away!

Except for not being able to surf the web while on a call (which I knew about ahead of time), my experience has been exactly opposite. No more dropped calls than any other carrier I've used, fast LTE speeds, and customer service that (in my case) went above and beyond. Anyone can have poor results with ANY carrier, but that doesn't mean everyone will

Quick question, I saw that there is $25 cash back through a cashback site I always use , it's BeFr***L not sure if slickdeals allows the site posted.

They have it specific that it states it 100% applies to "Bring your own phone with free one year service" $25 Cashback I have never had a problem w/ getting my CB with this site

Are there any real pitfalls to activating this online once Sprint mails me the Sim Car that I just paid $2.99 + tax for for the free 1year plan and get the extra $25 CB? Thanks for the help!

Best voice coverage on par with Verizon. And miles ahead of T-MOBILE.
LTE speed average. Some areas crazy fast most about 1-2 Mbps. Overall good service for free year plan.

Sprint has the worst coverage as it's CEO said. Speed is snail slow. I am also on T-Mobile, speed is over 100mbs anytime in my living area.
Sprint free plan is not free, 3-line costs around $15...
