Anyone know if we can still port in a number and get the free plan on that phone if you already have a couple of lines on that plan? Or is that over too?

You can still add lines. You might have to call a few times. Be assertive and tell, do not ask, when calling. Tell them your account is pre-approved to add up to 5 lines at any time.

Anybody got any advice if I started leasing an Iphone like a moron? I paid some up front costs but currently paying $10 a month and i'd like to keep it but I don't want to be on the $60 plan I think they know they got me, only offered to move me to the $40 plan for $2GB. They said if I port my number out it will trigger all of the Iphone costs up front which I can't currently afford right now. Just wondering if anybody has seen what they do, and if maybe they would offer me bill credits after a port out to get me back as a customer. I'd like paying the $10 a month for the phone and use the kickstarter plan. It is looking like I will probably have to start fresh though with some other service.

Sounds like if I hadn't got the lease this would have been easier to port out and try and come back with credits.

I am afraid that is the case. The lease cannot continue if you port out and back in. This is discussed all the time on reddit r/sprint if you want to look there but there is basically no solution there either.

Would the $40 2GB plan not work for one line?

760492036429 is my item number which is a universal 3 in 1 sim (kit 'C') SIMOLW506TQ, but its showing not compatible when i enter my S10e unlocked phone's IMEI on sprint website.
Sprint customer care told me i need kit 'D' type sim for S10e which will be available at Bestbuy. Will go to Bestbuy today.
I will be adding another BYOD free unlimited line to my existing free line.

Yes but where did you get the obsolete 3 in one kit from if you do not mind my asking.

If you used the link I posted, and ordered online, they should have sent the current 4 in one kit.

Thanks

Yes, that is the correct kit you will need.
See the SIM card chart from the wikipost for the compatible sims for your phone:

TIA for any help that can be provided.

I am looking for a senior friendly flip phone that can be activated on this plan.
Would the Kyocera DuraXT E4277 or Kyocera Dura XTP E4281 be able to be added to this plan?
Do either require SIM Cards?

Any advice appreciated.

I have activated DuraXT on this plan. It does not have a sim.

You can check the imei in the byod imei checker.

However Sprint is dropping support for some non-LTE phones. Also you will have poorer quality voice and coverage if stuck on old CDMA voice, worst of all if lacking 800 MHz band BC10.

Best of all would be:

https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/ce...NXP3800BLK

which will support VoLTE soon.

But if you want really really cheap, you can try the Dura *if* Sprint will still allow it on.

Just added a line this afternoon, so I can confirm that it does still work. Just need to get a rep that's willing to work with you. Tried a couple weeks back and got denied by the rep who said that the plan is no longer available.

I'm glad I tried again!!
