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 JohnInNYC :
......

Thanks for this. I had thought about this after having read 2 posts here of people who have had luck getting back up before 45 days. I definitely am pretty good at brownnosing reps and I guess it really can't hurt to try. It's worth the half month I would have lost if I ported out 4/1. I will prob port out maybe tomorrow (need to have phone working tonight) and maybe try on 4/1 or so. Thanks again.
Hopefully you will get it again with this approach then.....

Is 04/30/2020 final day of the service or last day to sign up (for service to end 04/30/2021)?
According to the Slickdeals editors/moderators posts on 3/11/2019 in the first page of this thread the last day to sign up for this offer is 4/4/2019. The Wiki was modified to state this.

My current plan ends on 9/30/2019 and I don't have another SSN I can use. I wonder if it's not worth the risk to lose 6 months of service to port out now and try to get in on another year?

Quote from comintel :
If you cannot find another person and are good at dealing with reps, I personally would port out now and call in 2 weeks and ask them to make an exception to the 45 days. I think your odds would be good. They can make exceptions, even under the normal rules, if it is has been at least 14 days, with a manager's approval, according to a Sprint staff member on Reddit..

There may be some more gambits too related to half-signing up and stalling. Odds are they will have an extended signup period for those whose who had at least ordered sim cards by the cut-off. This was done for KickStart.

Sure - I do not disagree. Personal trade-offs are a factor too, depending on how important it is to someone and what alternatives they have.

It's not worth losing 6 mos of service.
Keep an eye on any other special offers that may come up later this year.

No you could not add lines after that plan closed.

HOWEVER you can argue this plan is different because you get pre-approval to add up to 5 lines at "any time".

But better safe than sorry. I am sure as heck adding an extra line or two now.
The definition of "any time" could also be any time while the promotion was running. If they didn't do for Kickstarter they will surely not do it for BYOD. It possibly suggests their policy regarding promos. Once promo ends they don't prefer to add new lines.

BTW did any one try adding the 6 month international calling promo to new BYODs. I did one in December which gave free international calls for 6 months. Since I ported out I lost it. I will try doing it again on my new BYOD account

You can argue it either way.

However I personally disagree: Your plan is frozen when you get it and is no longer connected to changes on the offer made to other people or as to whether the offer to other people is ended or continued..

Yes you can.
The phone does not have to have any prior relationship with the number.

i agree...anytime ..provided promo is running...

time will tell soon enough..if we believe SD mod/editors/writers

side note:
with that $15 KS plan.
..i think they were overwhelmed with response and have never bought that back

kinda surprises me..that they would renew this free plan several times now since
...but not offer $15 KS even once since initial offering
