Sprint WILL RELOCK your unlocked device as they did to mine. Not a single incident as friends and family of mine got their RELOCKED to the sprint network. We all had unlocked devices when signed up. Now all our phones are locked to Sprint. Thats illegal.
You have to stay for 90 days to keep the $300 and their unlock policy is 60 days, so while I agree they should not be re-locking phones, you can get it re-unlocked after 60 days and before your 90 day requirement is fulfilled.
Thanks! Ordered the BYOD Amazon SIM on Monday and was sitting on whether to switch my Iphone over. I felt a little dirty about going back to Sprint. I left them 4 years ago (after 18 years as a customer) and said I'd never go back.

Glad I did. $300 is better than $100 and I can still port out in a few months. No contracts on the Kickstarter plan. They automatically waived the activation fee by doing it online as well, but after looking at my confirmation email it says there will be a one-time credit of $30 within 3 invoices however that plays out. My first bill will be charged 30 days from today.

I was concerned with the Amazon reviews saying they were sent 4 of the same SIMs, but it worked flawlessly. Over chat the rep told me which one to use. I also asked if I could double down on both the $300 and $100 Amazon SIM promotion, but was a no go. Worth a shot anyway.

If it is GV, I would call the porting dept and have it ported manually in a couple of minutes or less.
You know what the magic number to call to expedite porting? 877 503 3269. You can thank me later 😊.

Port in details?
U mean only phone number..right?
.It does not ask acct no or pin during ordering
I ported in from Visible, there were boxes to enter the phone number, acct #, and PIN. See screenshots. Without the acct # and PIN, they can't confirm you own the number. They don't want you to hijack someone else's number.

Is there any catch ?
Sprint LOCKs mine, friends and families UNLOCKED devices for the BYOD plan.
we all signed up with UNLOCKED phone to the BYOD plan. And all our UNLOCKED phones are RELOCKED to the Sprint Network without any warning.
When we called Sprint to unlocked our phones, customer reps kept saying it will be unlocked or it is unlocked but when we put in a sim card from other carriers and phones showed "Invalid Foreign Sim."
All our devices has both CDMA and GSM frequencies. And all are paid off with no balance.
Nightmare.

Are they Sprint-branded phones? You use the word "RELOCKED", does that mean the phone was previously locked, then unlocked by Sprint, and now RElocked? If they were purchased unlocked, why not use LOCKED instead of RELOCKED?

Previously activated number may not qualify. So tread carefully. See my comment and the related post.

the definition of "previously activated number" is not clear... so you cannot say 100% that it will not qualify if ported out and ported in again..

I don't want to add to the confusion, since I don't have definitive info, but if you want more data on this, look for the thread from that several years back, when Sprint was clearing out their Essential Phones (for $120+) there were a lot of us in that forum (who were reselling the Essential Phones - I got 4 personally) that dealt with this issue of Sprint locking the Essential Phones. We had to keep them on Sprint for a certain # of days to get them unlocked (50) and Sprint *would definitely* lock these phones, which came factory unlocked. It was a big hassle, with a lot of *ymmv* and different results for different people == Sprint is inconsistent.
I know that since that time, while on the 1 Year Free BYOD, Sprint has sometimes locked my BYOD phones (non-Sprint), other times not locked them, and has at times re-locked one of those "at one time unlocked per request then later re-locked" Essential Phones that I kept. They have locked a Moto G4 that was not purchased from Sprint and was factory unlocked. All my phones that were not purchased from Sprint (ie, Verizon iPhones), they have unlocked at my request. Most recently, I ported from Sprint to Visible (ending my free BYOD) and couldn't activate my owned Galaxy S7 on Visible, as, once again, Sprint had re-locked it (though I had it unlocked when I traveled internationally in the fall). Even though I was no longer an account holder, they unlocked it for me, no problem. In summary, yes, they likely will lock your phone to Sprint, ymmv, but if you stay for 50 days and your device is paid off, or especially if it is not a Sprint device, it should just take a (painfully slow and annoying) phone call to get it unlocked.
