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.

Can we port a google voice number
Yes. I have just ported in a google voice number. First you need to pay $3.00 to port out the number from Google voice.

Does anybody know how much is the Kickstarter plan with taxes and fees. I am doing a calculation as follows
Total cost for 12 months = 12 x 35 = 420
Activation = 30
Less return on gift card = 300
Net cost of one year of service = 150

$3-$5 per month depending on your location

Is there a consensus on the best cashback site to go through for 5 lines on one account?
I am also curious on it. Everyone is talking about $80 back from tcb. But be frugal has $125 with new phone purchase and also $80 for Byod. Looks like a better deal.

Tried signing up a couple hours ago with porting five phones/lines. Entered all my IMEIs and phone numbers but it never asked for account numbers/pins/sim card numbers. Order stuck in processing and can't get anyone on phone/chat who can actually help or even cancel the order so I can try again.

Have to love sprint's awful service.

With VZ, if you do 5 lines, you get 6-7 months plan ($1250 rebate from VZ is utilised to pay bills) and you make only $375

With Sprint deal, if you do 5 lines,
And if you stay 3 months, you make $1200+ $50 referral bonus+cashback (it's could be $80 or any amount, still not clear).

If you stay 6 months with sprint, you make $900 + $50 referral bonus + cashback (it's could be $80 or any amount, still not clear).

so Sprint is really a MONEY MAKER, not VZ.
True. Sprint deal is good but the guy asked me was already on sprint BYOD and looking for some other network to port so gave some info.

Why would you want to cancel? Porting info may not be requested during the order. Thats how they do it

I already have the sprint sim cards (bought the kits off Amazon) and was ready to complete the process. Will they email me again to get the port info in a few hours?

A sort of workaround to activate on eSIM if you have a pixel 3 or 4, unsure if this works with iOS.

I signed up using the no credit check option, entered my IMEI and signed up as normal. At the confirm screen I think it says they're mailing you a sim, its really not clear they just go over all the possible cases, but it says your port won't go through until you get your SIM. Anyway, you'll get an email saying you can sign up for MySprint now, however this will cause your line to port and activate immediately. Your line gets activated on some SIM card, probably the one your being mailed. But at this point on your pixel, remove your previous carriers SIM, go to settings, Network & Internet, and select Download a SIM, select the option to download a SIM, then Next. You'll wait a minute or two to load but going through this it lets you pick carriers from a list, select Sprint and your line will activate on eSIM.

Just accidentally discovered this. The signing up for My Sprint causing your line to port seems like a system oversight so just a fair warning they may patch that out.

Can I refer to my wife and both can get $50 referral promotion? We live together at the same address so would that be ok or will they deny the promo?

The easiest method to complete your number port is to DIY on the website.
  1. Get your order number and passcode (from your order confirmation when you placed your order)
  2. Activate your SIM cards at this link [sprint.com] using your confirmation number and zip
  3. Your SIMs are activated but they won't work because your old carrier still has the number
  4. Open a conversation with online chat support. May wait up to 30 mins.
  5. Ask them for your account number so you can setup your online account. You may be asked for your confirmation number and passcode.
  6. Setup your online account.
  7. In your dashboard, you may get an alert stating that your number transfer failed and to click on the link to resolve. Use that link. If you don't have an alert, you can manually find the link under the transfer option.
  8. The transfer page lists all your activated SIMs and their number transfers. They should all be failed. If you don't see a number, then you haven't activated that SIM or you need to wait a bit longer for Sprints system to refresh.
  9. Open each transfer and enter the correct verification information for your old carrier. The form fields may already have values prepopulated, I recommend deleting old values and entering in the correct values. Important form fields are account number, pin, and zip.
  10. Wait 5 minutes, reopen or refresh the transfer page and each number should say "Ready for Transfer". If it tells you to call the Sprint support line, you need to wait longer for Sprint's system to update. Just wait another 5 mins and refresh. If it says failed, then you entered some incorrect information and you need to get the correct information from your old carrier. For example, some carriers expect you to put in leading 0's (i.e. 00012345) for account numbers.
  11. Whenever you want Sprint to start porting, click on each number on the transfer page and tell Sprint to port. There are 2 confirmations. The ports will take around 10 mins.
  12. Wait 10 mins and your phones should work. If not just wait longer for the port or you have a different issue.
  13. Once your numbers have been ported, you can register for the promotion.
