You will need to provide the phone number, account number, pin and imei of each port at time of order. Then Verizon will send you the sims or you go pick up, I would have it sent as you don't know if the store employees are shady. Then when you use the sims on said phones the port will take place. The port will not happen until you use the provided sims.
Thanks

I think there is an alternate solution for people who want to move line from 1 year free plan to kickstart or unlimited basic 5 lines for $100 for another year.

You will need another SSN to open new account. After that use sprint.com/bringit and add new line to account.

The last step is to transfer the ownership between the old account and new account which allow you to move your line from free plan into your new plan.
Follow the instructions below -
https://www.sprint.com/en/support...rship.html

After complete the line transfer then you can close down the old one year free account.

Just ported out to Mint without any problems. Actually felt bad doing it. Sprint acted decently and warned me twice that my free year was running out. Got Mint 3-month free plan sim with Moto Z3 play from BHphoto. Don't like so far that Mint wants you to call Customer Service to get your account number. Sprint provided account number and port out pin right away when I started my free year. So, in case Sprint reps read this thread, thank you Sprint for the free year, my experience was good. Will port back to Sprint in 3 months if good plan is available.

Follow the instructions below -

After complete the line transfer then you can close down the old one year free account.
For the unlimited basic 5 lines for $100 for another year you may not have to go thru the account ownership change.
Some here on their last month of free service have received emails/texts for a free 3rd line after their free plan expires on 1/31. Most likely the 4th and 5th lines will also be free if one has 5 lines. See these:

https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/pl...start.html

https://bestmvno.com/sprint/sprin...100-promo/

This offer of 5 lines for $100, 1st line $60, 2nd line $40, 3rd-5th lines free is supposed to expire 1/31/20 but with Sprint one never knows since this offer has been extended since last year.
This offer is also good for ONE year only like the free offer, but one year is a long time in this industry.
If those here with more than 2 lines on the free plan expiration of 4/30/20 get this offer then it'll be effective until 4/30/2021.

See this post here on page 2835 and other following posts there, there is a Sprint phone # in there to call:

https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=134099105&postcount=42515

Sprint retentions will be totally foolish if they do not make it easy to keep those customers with several lines who wish to stay with Sprint for $100/mo. (Very likely that there'll be additional taxes/fees per line, maybe around $5/line depending on the local taxes/fees)

I would suggest chat and verify that the pending cancellation is showing in your account, as sometimes they fail to actually enter it. This approach will not work unless it was actually entered.

After it is, you can call Recovery (not Retentions) for the Come Back to Sprint offer (I realize that is what you probably meant).

Thank's, will definitely check and make sure the cancellation is listed on my account.
Cause I didn't receive any email from sprint yet and cancellation should be in 5 days now.

Update ......Just chatted and cancellation is noted on my account, will call tomorrow and try the switch to Kickstarter.

Probably they did not enter it then.

Especially if you called anything other than the number I suggested but sometimes even then.

They hate entering cancels so they often either just pretend to do so, or choose to interpret your request as a request for later action closer to the date, or as a casual inquiry etc.

I did transfer the ownership. It's appeared to me that the 1yearfree plan is attached to the phone line so moving from one account to the other account may not working.

Thank you.
Followed the link and instructions.
It worked perfectly, just chatted and was offered the Kickstarter $35.
Actually it was pretty painless and easier than I thought.
