I'm noticing a huge difference in quality lately... This week it started I think. Voice quality is lower, data is unreliable and more spotty than it has been... Pretty disappointed. Gonna try Mint again with that $20/mo offer, and maybe consider switching
They're upgrading the network on many places so you can have temporary degraded signals .

Do you have roaming on? It should be on so you can roam on TMobile which is free and unlimited now. They are relying on this to provide backup service while they do upgrades..

Sprint account services is telling me there is two unlock process: one for international and other for domestic. They are processed separately. I don't know if this true, but that's what they are telling me.

iPhone unlocking is even more crazy. You have to reset the damn device.
That's right - you can request either or both unlocks.

They have to be separate as there are different criteria. But they should have explained that to you.

Make sure to verify your first bill, I clearly told them that I don't need the Premium Protection plan. But when I got my bill today then the total for a line is $19.45. They have charged $!5 for protection insurance. I called them and said it's unauthorized charge and to remove it and correct the bill. I got it corrected. So the total for a month is $3.94

Tried it, thanks. I think I had data roaming on the first year I used the plan, but was limited to 100mb or something... pretty sure they disabled it for me after reaching 100mb. unsure if that was due to being completely out in the boonies on vacation at the time (and no Sprint service for a maybe 15-20 min drive)

The TMobile roaming agreement is new and is unlimited. It was not in effect last year.

You are right that of there is a low limit on non-TMobile roaming.

You can watch your account roaming statistic and as long as it stays at zero, it is the new free unlimited TMobile roaming.

Glad you got it removed... however, this point has been stated so many times already.

you're not this first, you won't be the last.

always check your account after you have signed up... yes, they are putting services on that you did not request. Do not wait for your first bill.

quick chat online and they will remove any extras.

Just wanted to thank all the contributors to this thread. Special shout out to Deshi for the updated T-Mobile port right up. Was able to port daughter from her mother's Sprint family plan, out to T-mobile and back in to her own BYOD plan within an hours time. Everything's working like she never left.

One thing we did do different than most was to call the Sprint credit department first to get approval. Younger with short credit history, but approved for 5 lines with no issues.

Just one last question. T-Mobile was very swift. Only asking for Sprint acct. #, PIN and T-mobile sim as expected, but not much else. I guess all that info comes in from the port. Will her mother be getting a bill for $3 for the 20 minutes or so she was on the Pay as you go plan?

Depends if she gave Credit Card info to T-Mobile. If she did, they will bill the minimum $3. If not, they will NOT bill for it, nor do they expect it.

New York Public Service Commission approves T-Mobile/Sprint merger [fiercewireless.com]

The companies have now received approval from 16 of the required 19 state public utilities commissions. The California Public Utilities Commission is still reviewing the proposal, but California's Public Advocates Office, a nonpartisan publicly funded agency that advocates on behalf of California residents, strongly recommended a denial of the proposed merger.

Didn't quite get the $3 bill part. Does T-Mobile charge per day or something ?
