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.

Only if you are prepared to activate the family member's phone.
There will be no way of getting the S7 Edge from the UK on, even by swapping it on later. It could never work on Sprint because it does not have Sprint's bands, to begin with.
What happened if I activate my family member phone it is s7 from verizon but full paid off, I am asking because I will buy a sprint phone once I got this service otherwise no need to spend money. Does it make s7 unusable for verizon?

Trying to get the 2nd free year using my spouse's name/SSN. Thanks to GreenSnake1504 for providing the TMo eSIMs. Porting out was easy - don't know how TMo will charge for "pay as you go" service as they didn't ask for credit info...I didn't use their SIM as I don't have a physical SIM.

Nonetheless, I was able port those numbers back to Sprint but somehow the lines are not active. Their porting dept is closed and have to call tomorrow to find out what is preventing the port. No messages or calls. Will update tomorrow.
Is the TMo account only the phone number (10 digits) or starts with 1+phone number (11 digits)? Wiki says "1+phone number" but two TMo reps I spoke to said for "pay as you go", the phone number is the account number. Wondering whether that is holding up the porting? Calls to the ported numbers are going to sprint voice mail and I can see both numbers under the correct name in "my sprint" app. Any thoughts?

Yes, so does mine. (By the way it is 50 GB now for those who still have it from before).

But what I said is the current OFFER does not include it.
.
That is what the person would be interested in as a new customer - the current offer (which has not included it since July). They would care what the offer was prior to July 2018 (which you and I still have for a while longer). I did not want to confuse them by saying what the offer used to be. Maybe I should do that every time.

Unfortunately, S7 from Verizon cannot be activated on Sprint.
The later S8 or S9 models can be at this point, though, and would work perfectly.

But back in S7 days, the Verizon and Sprint models had different ROMs and they never converged them.

Desi's recommendations are excellent choices.

My friend had the same issue with her xs, she had to reset her network settings and it started working. Here's some solutions you can try:

I just finished porting over on 12/24/18. And I just viewed my account details which shows:

Unlimited 55+ v2
Unlimited Talk, Text and Data.
Line 1: $55; Line 2: $25.
SD Streaming.
UNL 3G Mobile Hotspot.
International Text from US.
Sprint Global Roaming.
Eligible for $5 per line/per month AutoPay discount.

It doesnt specifically say its free with autopay or show an end date. Is this the correct plan that I should be seeing?
TIA

I am sure this would have answered already but doono which page it has result.

I recently moved to Sprint on BYOD 1 Year UL plan. So far so good, I have another unlocked phone and want to add another number to BYOD plan. Can I login to sprint account and add a new line ? Or order a sprint SIM again and then go thru initial process ?

My worry is adding a new line does not show me BYOD option. Other part is having a new line will have to go thru same lengthy process.

Has anyone added new line BYOD > if yes, which was easiest and efficient way ? TIA

We do them all the time.
You have to port in a number so you have to call the number ending in 8777 given in the Wiki.
See the Wiki for how to get the sim locally.

horrible!!!
I tried to port in yesterday. After they set up my account and I got transferred to a department for active my phones. I got disconnected and nobody called me back. I received an email saying all my phones are transferred successfully and ready to use, but it shows "No service" on all of my phones. the problem is I don't have landline and I have use wifi phone to call sprint, and got disconnected so many times and everyone just asked me to turn off and back on, try ##8 numbers, none of them really know how to solve the problem!!! I don't have service and I'm on the wifi phone for 8 hours and still nobody can solve the problem. Then they told me to wait until today to see. STILL NO SERVICE! Sprint sucks!!!
