Didn't quite get the $3 bill part. Does T-Mobile charge per day or something ?
There's a TMo prepaid plan, Pay As You Go for $3 a month.
"You get 30 minutes or messages to use at your discretion for as little as $3 per month"

I had a Sprint account before, which I cancelled, ported out and then signed up for this deal porting back in under my wife's account. Plan ended and I ported out to Mint with their 3 month plan, which seems better so far over Sprint.

Now my question is, can I port back in with the BYOD offer under my own account which is over a year old and never been on the BYOD.

Recently ported out a line from 1 year free plan, got an email asking me to add one or more lines to get 100 or 250 credit, but the phone listed in the email is not the same phone # to add free plan, wondering if it means regular plan only

Absolutely. I believe as long as you closed your acct more than 45 days, you are considered new

Also Sprint had that 4G WiMAX nonsense.
WiMAX is indeed a real 4G technology , but not suitable for mobile , it was great for fix point wireless

Okay, I got this deal last year and it runs out in April. I'm porting out to the Mint deal and hopefully this Sprint deal is available again in 30 days. This is a great deal, I've been paying $8 month since last April using our Note 8's.

I have a galaxy s5 with Mint Mobile and have been scratching my head in search of a new phone for this plan to port my number into. I've read that all unlocked US S8's should be compatible. I also have been considering the sprint s7, but don't want to buy the phone only to have it be "ineligible" on the sprint byod imei page.

All U.S.S8's and S9's and Note 8's are eligible once unlocked. (Thanks to Samsung's BYOD brand switching based on sim). They are listed explicitly as eligible on the CURRENT list linked to in the Wiki (which is the third post in this thread). I do not know what more you could want. Please ignore the obsolete lists in the first two posts of this thread.

There is no doubt about it.
I have an S8.

Now, if buying used, of course, there can be unrelated issues.

Sprint devices are generally not on the list but will work also once unlocked, including Sprint S7. In some cases you may have to call to get these accepted. Sprint S7 will be fine with that proviso.

Here's my case :
I had an iPhone 7 Plus which was not an eligible device. My wife had a iPhone 6 Plus which was eligible. So I register her number under her SSN for the first year. After the first year, I registered her again, this time with my SSN. I did not close the first account in Sprint till now. Now I have changed my device to a device that is now eligible. My question is will I able to register for the 1 year with my new device but my wife's SSN which is associated with the account which was not cancelled till now ? Do I have to wait for 45 days after the account cancellation?

I know this promotion has been extended several times but when is it expected to end? My contract expires in March so I don't want to pull the trigger yet.

I am already on Sprint 1 year free BYOD plan, which is completing soon. To rejoin what is the best way to port out and port back in? Is T-Mobile prepaid still allowed to port-in Sprint BYOD? On website it says only port in from Verizon and AT & T as valid. If T-Mobile prepaid is allowed, then what is best way to port to T-Mobile prepaid from Sprint? Where do I get SIM card?

This information is on the wiki. Tmobile prepaid works. You can try various Tmobile MVNOs most of the sim cards you can get from Amazon. Best Buy.. etc. you'll have to pay a little bit for either service or a sim but you won't be able to port back with your ssn immediately hopefully you have a significant other, sibling or good friend that can help you out.

As long as the account had no phones on it, it would be counted as being closed but you might have to get them to work on it a little in a few cases. Just call the number ending in 8777 and ask them to do it.

If it did have phones on it, you will have to wait until 45 days after all phones are off it.

By the way, I assume you are aware you can normally have up to 5 phones on one account anyway, so you do not necessarily need two accounts unless you want to split expiration dates that way (which, actually, is probably a good idea).
