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.

even when it hit the crossbar, still had a chance ...but hit the crossbar at wrong angle
I actually thought it bounced in at first. So disappointing. Best game of the post season so far.

anyone move over from T-mobile and regret it?

I was on a sweet plan with my BiL - but he ditched TMo for this... I'm hesitant.

Quote from comintel :
It is my bet and I think others were seeing advantages to it too, although there are scenarios where it could go wrong.

There is also a third choice, which is to bet on two further extension announcements, but that might be getting very close to merger date and I am not going to take that chance.
If Sprint decides they won't extend the Jan 30, 2020 end date, will we have any time at all to jump on this before they stop accepting new accounts?

My plan currently ends on April 30, '19 and and am looking at opening a 2nd account using my wife's SSN but waiting to see if Sprint is going to extend the ending date again.

read wiki

has info on what steps u can take to "try " service

in a nutshell.
dont do anything to u r TM line....yet

STEP 1..get a phone from ebay Lg g5 best bang/buck.
(preferably from a seller who accepts returns for 30 days)

STEP 2. get a S sim card for the lg g5 (or what every phone u get)

STEP 3. get a h20 sim (used to port away the temp GV#)

STEP 4. get a GV # to port. pay $3 to port it.

STEP 5. IF U HAVE DONE THE ABOVE steps, NOW IS when u contact Sprint and singup for free 1year plan by calling 866-782-8777

try serrvice for ~ 1 week

if u like service, move ur real TM line over. once that is done, cancel the GV # by porting to h20

if u dont like S service port out the GV to H20

(effectively cancelling S service)
send phone back to ebay seller
do all this in 30 days

important:
1. to minimize headache, i would suggest get a sprint branded phone
2. make sure u get the right sim card for that phone


total cost $3

no, didn't have a chance really...just used it mostly to park some of my sprint numbers from the free plan. also used it to speed test the sprint network, sprint phone vs a pixel. there maybe some differences on function but didn't see much difference in speed.

Hello,

My google pixel 2xl is going into roaming even with very good sprint LTE signal.
Cust rep. says my Xfinity internet signal is the reason for this.
Any solution for this .

Hi, I m new here. Can someone help me? I got 4 lines with Sprint BYOD free plan. Then I had to port out two lines to metropcs for their promotion. Do you know if I can port my numbers back to my account? I tried to port back one phone line using my husband SSN as a new account, but Sprint representative illegally port my line and put me under the kickstart $25 plan. I was so mad when I talked to the BYOD department, they said the CS ported my line already under kick start before she transferred my phone call to them. There was nothing they can do. I escalated this matter to their executive level, but they said they are still investigating. They claimed that I m not qualified for the free year promotion for the free year service because I m not postpay customer. At this point, I m not sure if they will fix it, but I have another line that i need to port to Sprint under my husband new account..Now I m stuck because I can't port the other line unless the plan is fixed. So I am thinking to port the second line back to my original Sprint account. Is it possible? Since I don't know when the promotion will end. I just want a quick solution to my situation. Anyone has any suggestion. Thank you so much for your help. Btw, I really want the CS who illegally port my line to get her commission to get some consequent, so she will not do that to other customers. That's totally illegal. Thank you.
