Why don't you go ahead and activate one of them that you can stand being dead for half a day, just to be safe.
I can actually activate my own line right now, but I was afraid of porting my line out of my grandfathered T-Mobile plan but then having the remaining lines not eligible for Sprint's promotion if they stop the promotion at the end of the day (the other lines are family members who unfortunately I won't be able to see until tomorrow). I think I'll have to just chance it for tomorrow. Since the online link still appears to allow the ordering of SIM cards, I would hope that means just the order itself is required to be made by 4/4.

Personally I would do the one line. I think there is no problem with doing one, then three.

But you should be ok unless it glitches.

Someone earlier said that you'll have to activate all the phones today, all that you want for free. Does anyone know if that is true?

Quote from stockg1rl09 :
Yes it was. I had the manager help me and he said there was a request for porting already and he couldn't push it through so he got them to put in another request. The phone is still on sprint Byod for a few more months.
Well if I understand correctly you have at least one that is OK. As long as one is set up on Sprint, the rest cam follow in my opinion. It would not hurt to call the number ending in 8777 and discuss.

It should be midnight ET.
As to AT&T versus TMO, others will know better.
Telesale closes at 11 PM CDT. They experienced high call volume and don't wait until last min.

Just a pitch by that rep for more activations now in my opinion.

Completely false in my opinion. And outnumbered 8 to 1 by what other reps have said.

So that would be the same time as I mentioned.

Midnight ET is 11 pm CT.

One and the same.

Probably that is what you meant but I just wanted to be sure

However obviously people should aim for much earlier than that, as soon as possible in fact, in case they cannot get through in the last hour(s) or somebody decides to close early or whatever.

Before I open this Sprnt Drive that they hard sold me on when I was porting a number over, has anyone been charged a restocking fee for returning it before the 14 day trial period was up? Agreement says a $45 fee *may* apply.

Quote from bandeau :
Am I better off trying to set up then port out of a TMO $3 pay-as-you-go plan, or an ATT prepaid plan? (I have phones and sims for both-- I just want to know which one would be faster and easier.) How soon can I port out after having activated a line?
I've used both. TMO prepaid is a little easier in that you can do it all online for cheaper and you should get the account number in the last confirmation. But they seem to be a little more prone to stuck ports and or generally something going wrong. ATT prepaid is a little more expensive (I don't think you can sign up online for paygo, so min online would be $30ish; I did it in a store and only loaded $10+tax). But there's no automated way to get your account number from them; you have to call and ask for it. But at least in my experience, porting out of ATT has gone wrong 0 times, whereas from TMO has been greater than zero.

Quote from bandeau :
I'll temporarily be using a TMO iPhone to sign up for this deal (which shows as being compatible however needs to be network-unlocked), but I won't be porting out that TMO line-- I'll put that SIM in another phone. Should I move the SIM first then call TMO to unlock the iPhone, or should I unlock first then move the SIM?
Not sure exactly how fast the unlock happens, but isn't it typically a few business days? If so you will not have enough time to use that phone to port in today since it's still carrier locked.
