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 read that 10GB mobile hotspot is no longer included for new signup..
Does this mean I cannot do mobile hotspot at all for this plan ??
Or is there a lowet hotspot data limit other than 10GB ??
My main purpose is mobile hotspot..
hotspot service is not provided on this plan.

Saint Nick and his pack of Reindeer and sack of toys is nearly finished. Last seen over Lake Michigan Northbound. Reports that he was speaking to Mrs. Claus (hands free of course while driving) using Sprint's network on the BYOD plan.
Happy Christmas to all a Good Night

I didn't think we could use the LG G5 or G6 since it's not on the list of eligible phones.

All Sprint branded phones can be used on this plan as well (newer ones the most readily). They are not normally mentioned explicitly on the (partial) list of BYOD phones because they are automatically compatible and because this promotion is targeted mainly at people bringing phones from other carriers.

Sprint branded Android phones are usually preferable in my opinion because Sprint-branded phones automatically have all Sprint features including Wifi Calling, Visual VoiceMail, LTE Calling/VoLTE (in recent models), HPUE, carrier aggregation etc, many of which are often omitted on generic Android phones.

So in my opinion the phones mentioned are ideal choices, better than the widely suggested generic Androids, which often leave out support for key Sprint features.

For 2 lines?

Average is around $4 total all fees and taxes per line - see survey by zip code in the Wiki - with the exception of a few high-tax big cities.

Perhaps. But you need to put it in context. What were you paying before

I'm looking at switching to Sprint from Verizon. Currently paying $177 per month for 12gbs of data, an iPhone X, and a Google Pixel 2 XL. Thoughts on the switch? I owe around $500 on each phone still.
If T-mobile coverage is good where you are, you might consider their getoutofthered promo. They'll pay off your phones AND let you use those phones on TMo. Not saying you are going to come ahead for sure, but worth comparing against this offer since here you have to buy new phones. https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-35609
