Quote from DavidPumpkins :
My porting to tmobile completed within 2 hours... today. If I had to guess, there's a holdup on sprints end--there's some info about calling the porting department in the wiki, check there. Also, it could be that you entered some incorrect info (account#, phone#, or pin) on tmobile's end, which means your transfer is now stuck in limbo.
First of all, there is still a $3 pay-as-you-go T-Mobile plan, it's just tucked in links. Thanks, David, and others who told me what I had done wrong. I messed up the Sprint pin which delayed my port and it was a mess BUT I just kept the sprint sim in until the port finally went thru. I tried to correct thru Facebook messenger and they were so nice despite the 2 days of back and forth and they finally figured out after days of saying the port was complete that they had the wrong pin. After I called and gave the correct pin, it went thru in minutes and then I ported back into sprint as my 5th line for the byob until the end of March. They also gave me the link for the $200 MasterCard for a new port! I'll see if it works. Standard terms for it - it had to be requested after port is completed and within 30 days of port in, takes about 60 days to process, 10-12 weeks for delivery, and the actual card will expire 60 days after issuance.

That is what I saw too and Ultra paygo is only available in select T-Mobile stores(local store confirmed $10 for ultra sim). Ymmv on still getting T-Mobile paygo now.
Guessing like when $30 Walmart plan went away may be able to get it for limited time until all reps are informed and you have a T-Mobile sim.

Anyone have experience with not being able to login?

The url says profilelocked=fraud user.
I recently upgraded my phone on my account. I moved the old phone to a family members sprint account to make use of the 1 year free.

*edit: not sure what happened but I'm back to normal. I guess there was a system glitch last night.

Called 866-782-8777 last night to add another line to my free plan. Shocked at how easy it was, also the rep was very professional.

Up and running in approx 20 mins

Well done Sprint !

Interesting. I guess this is one of the required spinoffs from the TMO / Sprint merger approval?

If you really want the Pay as you go plan, chat with tmobile rep on the website and they will send you a few links to setup your account.

That's what I was thinking too.
UltraMobile has (which owns Mint too by the way) has always been close to TMobile. They use it as a front when they need to.
I do not think it is literally required by anything we know publicly (after all they are keeping Metro) but I guess they wanted to re-align the brands so as to be able to give a fair chance to the Dish brand and not compete with it too directly under their own brand name..

Anyone able to get Sprint to sim unlock a Boost G6 play? I have asked Sprint twice, but they said no. This phone has been with Sprint for 1 year on the free plan.

Who did you ask?

Account Services/Retentions at 844-382-3317 is in charge of Unlocks.

Also be sure NOT to call it a Boost G6 Play. Call it whatever it says it is on your account.

Several people have got them unlocked. That said, the whole thing is a loophole to begin with.

"We can't activate this phone online. Sorry, please bring your phone to a Sprint store so we can help. "

Above message is what it shows When I check my phone by Sprint BYOD online.

Why is this? Any help is greatly appreciated.

You would have to post full details of make, model, history of phone but that would be typical of a phone that has existing obligations unfulfilled.

Also try it in the Ting checker.

Thanks. It's originally a Sprint prepaid phone. It was with Ringplus( long gone ) for about half a year, then with Tello for about a year.

It can pass Ting BYOD checker without a problem.

Right that's common.

You cannot put those on Sprint postpaid even though you can put them on MVNO's..

I have a bunch of them. Numerous people here do.
