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.

Yes. Strange, just looked at last month's bill and it was $10.99 and this month's (they bill in advance) shows $8.25. I have no idea why the difference.

I would investigate this a little bit further. Make sure they're giving you the $5 autopay discount.

Port the phone out of Sprint if you can.
Or swap it off.
Then you can port it in again right away.
It never successfully ported in. I spent an hour trying to get them to cancel the failed port so I could just use the phone with a different number.

^^^ This. One month they randomly dropped my autopay discount. Had to call them to correct.

A year ago, I bought an unlocked phone compatible with this plan, and signed up for the free year. My free year is almost over and I'm going to cancel (can't afford the normal rate).

I'm going to give that same phone to a relative, so they can sign up for the free plan. **Will they be able to use the (previously used) phone for a new, fresh, 1 year free plan?**

Will they be able to? Or will Sprint say **"Hey, wait a minute, this same phone was just used on the sprint plan for another person, so it can't be used again on this free plan offer".**

45 days for it to clear from their system.

This is not correct. Please be careful. It's 45 days to come back as a new customer. The phone can be used at any time by anyone.

Well, failed ports are fairly common and this has happened before to quite a few people and been solved routinely..

If someone is working on it, I imagine it will be solved.

I am being told that this is a 2 year contract with price of $60 after year. There will be termination fees if I cancel in between but they are not telling how much the fees will be. Anyone aware of this?

I'm officially switched. I think I waited too long from my original SIM card order (11/28/18) so I wasn't able to activate online or through chat.

But they got me squared away via a 45 minute phone call. They were able to port my number from Verizon and get me set up in that time.

I'm not sure how much my first bill will be yet, though. It says I have a payment due on January 19 but it doesn't give the amount. It does show the basic bill, however. It just doesn't show the taxes yet.

That is not true.
Who are you talking to?
Let me guess Chat or Customer Support, neither of which are allowed to support this special plan and just guess wanly at everything in an effort to be helpful despite their not being trained on it.

If you want reliable information, read our Wiki and if you want confirmation from Sprint call the number ending in 8777 given in the Wiki if you have not signed up.

If you have signed up already, call a regular support number, not the number ending on 8777, and ask them to transfer you to Cancellations Account Services only. Do NOT accept answers/guesses from whoever answers until you reach Cancellations Account Services.

Thanks, but no auto pay for a me. I'm porting the number out soon as the network is just not useable in many areas here in N. California.

Was being charged $2.99 for a sprint fee. Opened a chat on my phone to get it removed. Annoying, but did it in 10 minutes
