Quote from MatthewPerry :
Well, I purchased a "New" sealed iPhone 8 from eBay and it's a refurb. Seller immediately offered credit to keep it or full refund (returning, it was nearly the same price as new, "credible" seller with 30k ratings too...). Some people probably wouldn't notice the janky repack job and think it was new but I immediately checked the serial number and the box didn't even match the phone inside.

Anyway, need best option for an iPh 8. My SIM is shipping so I can't setup an online account for Sprint yet. Anyone know if you can buy full retail price phones from their site and keep the BYOD promo? I know you can't finance/"upgrade" for 120 days but I am hoping buying FRP would be a possibility and not count as an "upgrade" in their system. I am thinking of doing a pre-owned iPh 8 since they're the lowest price anywhere ($350 isn't bad).
Full retail price, yes, (I think Desi knows the ins and outs of this) as I recall, but not pre-owned.

You can call the 8777 number tomorrow and they can tell you what you can have and do it for you. Do not do it through any other Sprint division as they will not be sure and are not authorized to make deals for this plan.

Thank you!

What will we do with all the free time?

Well there will be cleanup issues for a while.
hahaha.....exactly.....we all should meet in 1 remote island, do a Luau, and get lost and talk about this whole thing. i think Desi has bought an island by now, with all his bots answering the questions, telling them to "red the wiki".... and charging them $3 a pop. :-)

Damn, unfortunate if the Sprint pre-owned devices aren't an option. At least they'd be reliable. Everywhere else is $150-200 more and who knows if it's stolen or locked to a finance agreement.

I'm almost thinking of falling back to an SE but it's so tiny.

Anyone know a good place to buy an iPhone 8 for less than retail (no financing)? Paying Apple $640 is just hard to swallow for a year and a half old model.

On the one hand, I regret running out of time getting a third phone on the free plan. The conclusion announcement came at a very inconvenient time for me in terms of going overseas and work and all the hoops having to jump through and issues with tmobile port etc.

On the other hand, hard to complain because I got a year for my son in the past, and now two phones on the free plan for another year. I am a veteran of the RingPlus years, now free Sprint, and we will see what comes on the horizon.

Thanks to the people here who helped me the past couple weeks with advice, I really appreciated it.

You will have until April 30, 2020. That is what your plan provides and it is binding on Sprint and they know it..

The plan has no reference to what the offer is or was from time to time.

The end of the offer has nothing to do with your plan.

Lines are added under the terms of your own frozen plan, not under the terms of later revisions to the offer for newer customers..

That has always been my interpretation and I think you will see it vindicated.

Awesome, thanks for all your help over the past year

BTW, what are your thoughts on swapping phones in the future on this plan ?
