I think that's how Mr Drummond was able to buy his 5th Avenue Apt.
Yeah, he was a stable producer longer term vs. the more flamboyant George Jefferson "movin' on up, on the east side" which probably didn't last.

I would take the Drummond approach long term over the other. lol

If I do this with 5 phones on the Unlimited Plus plan, do I have to pay taxes and fees on each of the 5 phones, or just once?
I'm in NYC what would total monthly taxes and fees be for all 5 phones, approximately +/-?

I could do this with my Moto G7, my Moto E4, and a friend's Apple iPhone X.

Unless I can find an old Samsung(?) phone I've got here somewhere I'd have to move ASAP and buy 2 more ultra cheap phones + 2 bare bones super cheap voice service plans + x2 SIMS ... so I could port over a total of 5 BYOD.
(any good suggestions on this ^?)

Can someone explain what the $50 referral is, and how it's applied?

I had two rounds/years of Sprint's BYOD which terminated on January 27th. Both the G7 and E4 were previously on Sprint's free year plans. When I do a dry run the IMEI numbers work.

So if I do the 5 line deal I can just open new account with Sprint, correct? (I seem to recall when I signed up for my second free year Sprint just automatically opened a fresh new account instead of reactivating the old one).

does Sprint tie the SIM to the device/IMEI like Metro?
Or you can move your sim to a new device, and get service without calling Sprint?

Did you get an answer for adding lines later? I am in the same situation.
Not yet -- hoping my Tracfone promo GCs come in today so I can sign up all 5 lines tonight

People doing "no credit check" option mention they get errors when trying to add new lines later -- don't think it'll be a problem for accounts with credit check but I'll wait

Pay GV to unlock the number for porting -- give GV account info to Sprint when porting

Sprint uses different sim card part numbers -- you need the sim part number that's compatible with your phone

You can't just switch sim cards between phones -- you need to register/change phone IMEI and sim ICCID when swapping phones

Not sure if Sprint improved its online system yet to do it yourself -- you can do online chat or call CS for "device swap" (don't say "phone upgrade" which is something else)

You can swap phones online, logged in to your account.

But I had to google the link.

Pay GV to unlock then set voicemail password, that is the pin. Account number is the phone number

If someone refers me and I use the referral link, what do I need to do to get the CB bonus?
You sign up on the $50 referral page first. You should get a email from Sprint with a link to complete the referral after you get your line set up with Sprint where it asks for the Sprint phone number.

You can then set up service/port using whatever method you need.

I'm a current Sprint customer, so here's my thought for this. Since I can't qualify for my line, I figure my best best is to refer the other 4 lines individually to stack the $300 GC, Cashback and Referral.

Refer the 4 lines: 2x$50 GC's each line = $400
Cashback for each line: $75 x4 = $300
Gift Cards: $300 x 4 = $1200
Kickstart: ~$40/m after tax/fees x 5 ($200/m)

After a few months, move the kids lines over to Tello for $7/m and either keep the adults lines on Kickstart or switch to Visible for $100 BYOD and $25/m all in price. Just need ti figure out if the Sprint referrals and Cashback will stack.
