Quote from RichardF7350 :
May I ask for a few details?

Did you work with Sales? Retention rep? Recovery rep? [email protected]?

TIA.

PS
I signed up for deal yesterday. Received the SIM today, but could not activate. The Manilla-based Sales Rep (while very pleasant) would not budge.
I had suggested that the other poster get in touch with the Sprint Community poster at https://community.sprint.com/t5/U...5491#M3590

That is what that other poster was doing.

I would suggest you do the same. They are the ones that confirmed the offer was live. They should be the ones to make good on it, as they did for the other poster

Quote from rustum :
Still no word from Sprint on unlock request. Is there any cheap phone deal to port into Teloo. After the port, i should able to swap the sim card I guess.
I doubt that would work. Normally if it is rejected in the checker, swapping it on will not work either.

You cannot just move sim cards on Sprint or its MVNO's. Usually a different sim would be needed anyway for a different model phone.

Have you asked Tello to help get it on?

Quote from buckeye :
I was able to add 2 more lines to my account today. Ported from GV and used 2 LG X Charge phones. Lines active through 4/30/2020
Did you do this by calling in? This number I assume: 1-866-782-8777. Are they sending you the SIM cards?

I have 1 BYOD Free main line and want to add another line/phone and then port out main number, leaving just the new added phone as a backup.

Just making sure, my BYOD Free current line will go away if I port out number first before adding second line? Can I suspend the account and port out current number? Need better Verizon service on main line starting tomorrow with long trip ahead.

Correct...ish. It's not just your "current line" that goes away. Your entire account gets closed when the last line is ported out. But I knew what you were asking.

Yes I called with 2 LG X Charge phones in hand. I got them for $30 each (Unreal mobile phones) from bestbuy. They came with SIM cards already. It took 15 min to add each phone and they are all working great. I hope I'll be able to unlock the phones after 2 months with Sprint.

Thanks! Can't remember, can we pick up a SIM in store and then activate new phone by phone? Need to activate old phone asap before I leave today. Pretty sure that was doable in the past. Hopefully I can get SIM for free.

Got in on this near its end, okay service. I used an unlocked iPhone 6s, is my phone now locked to Sprint or will I be able to port out without issue?

It is extraordinarily unlikely that you would have such an extremely rare problem but obviously test and see if you are worried about the obscure possibility of such an issue happening by mistake.

How could anyone recommend a deal without you saying anything about what you are looking for? Lowest cost or large data and what price range? This is the only offer that that combined both in a single offer. There is nothing else remotely like it. You cannot get it again.

We would have to know the phone make and model to say where sims for it can be obtained, but in any case not from Sprint with any certainty if you want it TODAY. There is no Sprint store support for this plan and many Sprint stores will not give or sell them at all except to conventional paying customers.
