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.

Read the wiki, but I'm still a little lost. Wife and I are already on the 1 year free, but it's coming to an end in a few months, and I'd like to renew another year before it expires. We both have Sprint-branded Samsung Note9's that are financed through Samsung directly. I'm the account owner on Sprint.

Questions I have:
  • Will my phone even work on T-Mobile so that I can port there and port back? Their IMEI checker is being wonky for me.
  • Do I need to have Sprint unlock my phone before I port it?
  • Do I understand correctly that I don't need to order a physical SIM and it will simply activate digitally?
  • After the port, my wife needs to sign up at Sprint, port in, and that should work fine because it wasn't her SS on file, correct? Then I can port to T-Mobile and back onto her account?

You're just porting your number to TMo, no need to worry about the phones. Use the same sim that are already in them, no changes needed.
Just simply setup your wife's account the way you did with yours.

Comintel, Query regarding International calling plan. Is six months International calling promo eligible only for Primary line?. I am with International Chat support and he is saying we can't add this promo on 2nd line because of BYOD One year free plan.

Some people have reported that.
They have turned down many free-plan people completely (including me), but are giving it to some multi-line customers on one line only.

It says it will work on Sprint with 4g.

I told the rep that and she said on her screen it was telling her it was compatible. Any ideas?

I'm already on the plan, but trying to swap phones to the iPhone. Sprint is telling me that it can't be activated when I call.

I have gotten it on both the lines of my BYOD account in December. One needs to keep trying. It took me 5 tries to get it.

I am waiting for port my second line to this new account and then will try for this international calling trial

Keep trying. I tried it multiple times over course of 2 days. They can add it it's just when they see BYOD they say no. But keep trying you will get it. It can be added to more than one line on account.

Who are you calling?

You should not be calling the 8777 number to do swaps.

To swap, Chat is usually best.

Oh I just noticed Kastrga already posted the same thing.

this may be a stupid question. I just ported 2 lines from Tmobile to sprint. Do I have to do anything to end my TMobile acct? Will I get a final bill? Im unable to access my TM account now.
