No, I've had my GV for a long time. I couldn't find the Legacy page because I was clicking on the gear wheel in the right hand side. Once I clicked on the 3 bars on the left side, I saw the Legacy page, then after that I clicked on Settings on the right hand side to the the Voicemail & Text tab.
Nice. Did you get it to port successfully

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.
No way, that's illegal, talk to your state attorney general

I haven't started the porting process of my GV number yet. It's my backup plan. If porting from my lapsed Visible account doesn't work tomorrow (waiting for an HSN phone), I'll use my GV number.

PORT STATUS AND COMPLETION INFO:
Google Voice seemed stuck in porting limbo for over a day. Found this link which gave status and aid to call in. 5min later its ported and activated
https://shop2.sprint.com/en/wlnp/check.shtml
Call: 866-437-1818
** Google Voice (bandwidth.com) is considered a landline phone provider, and may take up to 3 days to port. If you call the # above, they will do it right away for you.
That's the number i had suggested several days ago, but people kept using the one provided by GK. I got that number from the now infamous Sprint BYOD Free thread.

I've done this 3 times too and you must have gotten lucky calling the 866-275-1411 number. It was around 1hr wait for me.

Another number for porting is 877-503-3269.
you have 15 devices laying around?

When you pre-register for the referral, you have to provide your name and email address. After you've activated your line, you come back to the site and enter your phone number. Handle that however you see fit.

I placed my order yesterday and I want to change my billing to another state to save on taxes. Can I change it before my first bill? Can I ignore my order and make a new one? Will the new order allow the option to apply without a credit check.

Lol, no! 2 are single line KS, then 5 with Unlimited Plus.

I plan on opening another Unlimited Plus account though, mostly borrowed/old IMEIs. I will be swapping phones from my 1st UP account to use the lines once in a while.

That's the same Porting/Activation number given in the instructions for my Sprint pre-owned phone. It was answered right away. I got a pretty competent rep, she was also patient while I was trying to sort out some acct info that I got mixed up.

That was me.

I guess sprint considers it 'activated' once the number is ported.

I didnt have enough physical phones so I tried borrowing my brother's IMEI and it passed Sprint's IMEI checker but it needed a SIM.

When the SIM arrived I just completed the activation process by going to the http://sprint.com/check-port-status page

I entered the order number and I think the SIM number and maybe the IMEI number and that was it.

I cant remember if I called one of the 800 numbers to finish the porting. Maybe I did because my 5th line wasnt showing up in my online account. Withing 10-15 minutes, the number was ported from Google Voice, I received an email that number was ported out of Google.

Sprint considered it 'activated' even if I didnt put in the SIM as I didnt have the physical phone. Phone is in west coast. While I am in the midwest with SIM.

what do you mean by swapping? If you can't swap sim cards. Or do you mean you are just gonna swap your primary daily phone each day with a different phone. I honestly don't think sprint is gonna check for line usage. Doesn't say in the fine print that you can use the lines, just activate and port number lol
