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.

There is no list of expired devices.

The list you refer to (which is not part of the Wiki) is "expired" only in the sense that it has been replaced by a more complete list.

You can use the same phones as before and same sims.

You should not be eligible for the promo but no harm trying.

As to the
Thanks a lot .

FWIW- I used an HTC M8 and the service was trash in Houston. I migrated to the new iPhone Max XS and Sprint is near perfect. And VolTE is great.

You can just grab a sim locally and call the number given in the Wiki ending in 8777 to activate.
That is what is recommended in the Wiki.

Its amazing the difference a phone can make.

Signed up today! Happy I finally got in on this. I couldn't do it with my Oneplus One (which I'm sad to be leaving).

I got in on the Cricket Galaxy S9 deal. I considered porting my real number over to them (to actually use that one month of service), but ultimately didn't because I didn't want to risk Cricket refusing to port out after only a month or something. I dunno, better safe than sorry I guess.

Took about 2.5 hours on the phone with sprint, ugh.

If anyone else is also bringing over an S9, be sure to "Update Software" (under settings) after you put the Sprint sim card into your unlocked phone. I didn't do that and had problems getting the phone onto the network. When the phone updated, it gave prompts saying 'oh you have a sprint sim, we'll fix some stuff...' and boom it was working.

Really? I just tried to sign up and they said the promo ended last week, even though I can still see the promo online.

I went through the online sign up and it said I had to call in to set it up.

How did you go about this?

I did it all via phone. Went to a Sprint store and got a free sim card, then called the number in the wiki. It took a long time on the phone, the credit check and then figuring out why my phone wasn't connecting were the longest parts.

Anyways, the guy said he signed me up for "one free year" so it should be all good.

That is where I got the information I used, and the person I spoke with told me that the promo ended this past Friday. She closed the call within 3 minutes since that was the only deal I was interested in. Clearly that isn't the case since people in this thread are still getting the deal (you included), so I was asking how you were managing it.

Thanks - I guess I'll just call back later to see if I can get someone else who will set this up for me.
