Ah, ty for the response. I'm getting confused reading the last couple of pages. People are doing a loophole to extend their 1 year BYOD by porting out one line and porting it back in?
That is separate but it did work that way for one person under very specific conditions. That will not happen for people who do it in the most common way.

But you may be able to get about the equivalent just from the credits, and have a much better plan as well.

From what the rep told me, you do not need one to call, but I would wait at least 4 or 5 days anyway. That's how long it took before I got one. They do ask how you heard about the offer, but did not seem to have any actual record if it,. They just started from scratch from the number.

I think you may be able to combine it with the plan you mention. Kickstart was just one example.. You will have to ask.
I got similar offer but with $30 per month plan. only 2GB LTE data. they started sending emails from next day on wards and also got call. when I asked about kickstart plan she said that I can't get credit with that plan.

Try calling 877-628-8191 now. I think you may get a better offer. I believe the offers available from that number have improved.

I guess it's possible that it depends on when you left though - maybe they get frozen at that time. I am not sure.

I have accepted the offer with $250 credit. Most of the time I will have wifi so I thought 2GB would be sufficient. for 8 months I will only pay taxes.not so bad.

Absolutely, that is a great offer for you if you only need 2GB! There is no point paying more for something you are not going to need anyway!

Assuming a single line, it is actually better for you than you would get under the newer offer since it was $250 credit rather than the $100 credit you would get for the single line under the newer offer.

Did it include hotspot by the way, if you do not mind my asking out of curiosity?

Thanks for the info.
It does not make that much difference for me on Android not to have it, because I can use PDANet+ (or certain other bypasses including APN update, or WifiTetherRouter if rooted).

I have done the same. (Too often, I forget to rep). You were generous to share the offer in the first place.

Of course, Sprint could have some hidden rule of no more than one offer, although I do not see anything that says that.

In your case, you would probably be able to just port them back as free plan lines anyway, even without the Recovery offer, since you have the free plan on your account now through April 2020.

But sure, you might as well be prepared to play all angles in case one falls through.

I have been reading posts for an hour but too confusing. My 1st year free plan is about to expire next week. What is my best option to get a second free year or to get another offer? I have three lines and i can lose one of the numbers but want to keep the other two, in case i need to port out and back in.
Many thanks.

Did you add over phone call? They don't waive the $30 activation fee any more, right?

I added over the phone. Waived $30 activation fee. I let them put insurance on, and as soon as the phone line appeared in my Sprint account, I went to chat to have insurance removed and had a copy of the chat emailed to me.

You cannot get another free year. If you read the last few days of posts you will see that Sprint will make retention offers if you Port out.
Or you can call them 877-628-8191, posted by comintel just above.

This looks good as a temp solution if your phone is compatible.
