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.

Lol how else?

In the USA, can you have multiple ppl tied to the same Ssn?
why does the ssn have to be bound to a cell phone plan account holder? i am from Europe and that is odd to me to even have to give the ssn. I thought i can just use my partner's ssn but have me as the account holder....guess that was wrong

If you have Samsung phone, just add DUN to the APN to enable native hotspot.

Turn on airplane mode and then hotspot. If this works, don't update the firmware and enjoy the glitch Big Grin
Does this APN trick to enable hotspot work on iPhones?

This has probably already been answered.. but I bought a Sprint S8 from a friend.. he hasn't had it activated for a few months since he got his S9. I don't have the phone with me so I cant check the ein/meid to see if its compatible on Sprint's website.... but will it? Or could it work on the $25 kickstart plan?

Promo has been extended and it is valid through 3/31/19 right ? I missed when it changed from 1/31/19 it seems
You mean end of savings date has been extended to 3/31/2020 and that is true.

End of signup date is implied to be extended too, but at Sprint's discretion as to exactly how long.

Quote from wolverine2000 :
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?
Nobody can use anyone else's SSN literally.

What is meant is, have that person open an account to share with you.

After 45 days away from Sprint, though, anyone can qualify as a new customer and get new customer offers again.

Lame- You took my quote out of context.

The user asked how to sign up with a new account, so I said with a new Ssn (meaning new user non tied to the old)

Anyone know if activating an additional BYOD line, including porting, can be done 24/7 via phone or online, or if Sprint customer service for this has limited hours?

Called the 866 number and it said web chat for this offer is available 24/7 but I can't seem to find the chat button online, and don't know if I can port or activate via chat.

Wondering if I need to wait till the weekend or if I can do this one evening.

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

We never said it could just automatically be done online.

Most of us recommend calling only.

Probably the rep has to have the credit department remove your SSN from the old account, that's all.
