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.

Quote from HunterOne :
From the SD post/notice it is HIGHLY likely that Sprint and SlickDeals here are in tune to help and/or clear any confusion/misundestandings.

(Make sure you're logged out of SD to see the SD notice.)

IF still in doubt this may easily be confirmed with the SD moderators/editors by requesting a clarification.
I logged out over and over but that aspect is unimportant anyway since I agree it is in post 2.

I agree that Sprint spoke to SlickDeals and in fact I posted that before and guessed April 4 as the most likely date earlier as well, but just as a guess, not as a statement of fact..

By now every guest here should have seen this notice on the first page of this thread and in the Wiki:

Update: The official end date to sign-up for this offer is 4/4/19 (and will not be extended again). Plans will remain active for one year from your sign-up date (promotion discount will be retired in full on 4/30/2020).

There was a hint on this in my post last week:

https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=125953030&postcount=36414
We should file a complaint with the FCC, to force Sprint to keep offering the BYOD free 1 year, indefinitely in order to approve the merger.

You put very nice balanced wording in the Wiki now.

And people know the Wiki is generally a better source than post 2, as mentioned by edog11, so I think we are ok.

When SlickDeals and its Deal Editors go to the trouble of posting something as strong as this on top of the deal web page, any prudent guest here should take it seriously, especially if that guest wants to get in on the deal.
But, as I stated above one can be an eternal optimist!
And maybe miss the deal!

Well this is what I am thinking, the article which states that sprint in ending this promotion was dated March 6 2019, when we all knew the deal was till 3/31/2020. On March 7 the deal gets extended to 4/30/2020. On March 6 we did not know if this deal was going to be extended past march 2019. The writer of the article knew that the deal was going to be extended in April. This makes me completely believe that sprint is ending this deal in early April.

Secondly the original poster of this deal is "andrewmackoul" and the name of the article author is Andrew Chen, lol makes me suspect they may be the same person. If you believe that then I would also believe 4/4 date to be real.

Its all speculation but somehow this time I feel the end is very near

I agree the end is near.

However, Andrew Mackoul is real - he is active on reddit.

He has not posted one word in this thread since though, and not replied to messages asking him to correct all of the out of date info he posted here..

Hi All,

I only got the offer for six months.
You're saving more than $900 in the first year on a single line over Verizon's unlimited rates, and you get

FREE Unlimited data, talk and text until 9/30/19
Upgrade your phone any time after 4 months

How to extend it for the entire year? Any help is deeply appreciated.

Thanks,
Gaurav Singla.

Starting my 3rd year now. But man... It took over and hour and half on the phone! For some reason the online activation was not working. I guess it is worth with for another free year. I'm curious to see if I will notice much of a change from last year; other than losing the 50gb hot spot. hmmm......

Kind of hoping that it does end on April 4th. Because then we can test our other theory on whether or not we can add more lines between April 4th and the end of your deal
