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.

This is awesome. My main line is with T-Mobile and my secondary line is now active with Sprint. I use both lines on my iPhone XS. ESIM I activated for TMobile. SIM slot is for Sprint. Works amazing

Yeah, I did the Apple Upgrade Program via my T-Mobile line. Then was able to activate/use the sim on the XS.

No shipping charges on Sims. That has been confirmed. I believe that when you get your Sims you can call back and they will do the porting. Best to do your porting during daytime hours and coming from cricket it should go fairly quickly. if not check Sprint porting department number in the wiki
Great, I had the same questions

Do you mind walking me through how you did this? Would this work with a google voice line?

I currently have this 1 year free plan (now on second year). Previously, I was able to port out the number from Sprint to T-Mobile using a SIM number I purchased on eBay. Then immediately ported back into Sprint using wife's SSN and getting 1 additional year free. I didn't even have to put the T-Mobile SIM into the phone. Anyone know if this method still works? Trying to get my third year free (moving from wife's SSN back to mine). If it does work, this seems like a cheaper way than using Google Voice which charges $20 for the porting.

Please forgive me for asking a stupid question. I've read through and can't find an answer.

Can I bring in an unlocked, never activated, Moto G6 and get this deal? Does the phone have to have been on a different carrier prior? Thank you!

I got approved for porting and rep gave me a application number and my device is also eligible. Can I go Sprint store directly to take the sim rather than ordering online and waiting for the sim to come?
Coz my monthly payment for my current sim is due in two days 😟

This is a sign of reaching the wrong call center, so naturally they just try to sell you something else since they do not handle the Free plan. It has happened a few times.

Why did you have to call them exactly? Did instructions not come with it? I think some of the numbers referred to in some materials that are sent may be wrong.

I do not know what the exact cause is when this happens, whether you called a wrong number, or the wrong number was sent to you, or your call got mis-routed or what, but if you still really need to call after reading our Wiki section at the top about how to activate yourself, at this point just call 866-782-8777 and they will sort it out.

Most of us and the Wiki recommend not signing up online to avoid problems like this.

Do not worry - the free plan is alive and well and there are a zillion people right here who got it no problem. Some of is are getting ready to go into our third "year" of it. You can have it too with a little patience.
