Quote from comintel :
Piles of people have added those.

You can use the eSim,

"You just go to Settings and search for Carriers (or go to Settings, Network & internet, Mobile network, Advanced, Carrier). Tap Add Carrier, and then select Sprint and login to your account. They'll text you a one time authentication code to login, so don't turn off your old phone first. And that's pretty much it.

If a Pixel 3 is already on your line, you'll have to swap it off first to an unused phone. There's no way to switch directly from a physical SIM to an eSIM without having an intermediate device."

hey thanks a lot for u r help vApplause was able to add a line yesterday everything went on smooth repped u

I ported a number last July 3rd, 2018 and thought I would be charge full price at $69/m but just got an alert from my visa they still charge $2.90. Redpocket sim is still on the way from last Monday order (not overnight shipping?) should I port out to Redpocket right away or wait for another free month from Spint?

Is my plan still good as free by some glitch?

The first step is to look at the MySprint app in your phone and see what end date is shown there.

Quote from baseboll14 :
So my billing date is 7/26 and my free plan end date is 7/31. Is it true that if I do nothing I will get the free plan coverage out to my next billing date (8/26) since the bill date hit before the 31st?

I'm trying to figure out if I need to do a mad dash to port out lines in the next couple days or whether I have a few weeks.
I am in the same boat. I spoke to retentions today, and I was told that I would be billed at the full, undiscounted rate from 8/1/19 to 8/20/19.

Some here have disagreed with that.

You might want to get an opinion from Chat and be SURE to get a transcript.

It's telling that not even Sprint's own reps understand how Sprint billing works.

I wish edog11 were around as he is quite comfortable with it, and has explained it in detail, but I myself am not comfortable bottom-lining it for people so I am just punting on these.

Do you have a handle on it?

I'm no expert myself, but I know that there's a specific reason why Sprint chose the language "savings through" instead of "savings until" in the agreement. Sprint bills an entire month at a time at a fixed rate -- no pro-rating (unless its for addons). So if your agreement says savings through 7/31 and your next bill is on the 14th, then you should get an extra couple of weeks on the free plan. I think most Sprint reps really do understand this as well, but they want to be conservative and not have people be surprised by a full $60/line bill. It's still sound advice to port out before 7/31. I would.

Thanks @laalaa99stl for the update. Per comintel's comment, I did try chat yesterday, but all I was able to get was robo-responses to my questions and now way to get an actual live rep to respond.

Edit: My account information does say Savings until 7/31/19; then $60/mo. for line 1, $40/mo. for line 2 and $30/mo./line for lines 3-5 with AutoPay.

Ya looks pretty straightforward from what I am reading. Buy a tmobie sim like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/T-Mobile...SwWgdbwqPJ

Then call tmobile prepaid to port your number in. Once you do that I guess you can go back to sprint.

So regarding kickstarter has anybody done this with 5 lines. Seems like the regular unlimited basic may be a better deal as its only $100 a month? Wouldn't 5 lines on kickstarter be $125? Thanks.

Scroll down to see the difference!

5 lines - Kickstart ($125/mo) vs. Unlimited basic ($100/mo.) through 9/30/2020 then $160/mo.
