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.

A hit on your credit and slow Sprint service. Pass
Poor credit users usually limited to prepaid services for major carriers. Speed, location dependent but T-Mobile lte data now included which can help.

Had my number successfully ported over from Verizon, but I'm unable to activate with the sim kit they sent me. Just says SIM not supported within white screen setup. Apparently another SIM is on its way, but curious if anybody else had the same issue or if I'm missing something. I'm on an unlocked iphone 6 (a1586).

I don't have a box for hotspot data like I used to but it is listed on my plan. Is this normal? I haven't used hotspot in a month or two.

Your current services 50GB Mobile Hotspot $0.00/mo
yes
if/when you have hotspot usage it will show
assuming it is the native hotspot and not any "creative" workarounds like PdaNet+ etc.

Thanks and repped. Yes it's the iPhone hotspot. I just always thought it had a box on the dashboard even when no hotspot data was used.

I just made my porting online, didn't know about this thread and that it was better to port over the phone. How I can avoid 30 dollars activation fees for all my 4 lines. Nowhere I was told that I had to pay it. Only on final page after I ported.
Thanks a lot.

Ps I read fine print, they shoud refund the activation fees on my 2nd billing cycle

i was able to disable band 41 and stay on band 25 now have consistent data speeds on my s9 plus by following the steps on the wiki

1) To disable Band 41 open the phone app and try ##3282## on s9 plus.
2) Select EDIT
3) Enter code 000000
4) Select LTE
5) Select "Band41 Enabled"
6) uncheck it
6) Select "Back" button on the navigation menu and exit all the way and reboot. It should now be using Band 25. be patient, it will take time to lock in.

The problem with band 41 is its weak inside buildings and upload speeds are erratic. you could also disable band 25 and stay on 26 but download speeds will be slow.
Same for me. Band 25 works best is Los Angeles area

I applied online,
"your order requests additional processing"
why ? Did Sprint actually pull my credit?
BTW, I applied in June 2017, successfully at that time.

this does not work for user who already used one year promotion!!! you cannot use a family members ssn. The salesman forwarded me to a credit specialist and she asked about ssn and saw that i had a sprint account cancelled the same month. She told me to reopen the account and that i would not get the promotion. Now how do people say they got it for the third time? Is sprint that dumb too not see that customers are returning after a short time?

I signed the promotion in June 2017, far more than 45 days
I just applied online again,
"your order requests additional processing"
why ? Did Sprint acutually pulled my credit?
