This evening I ported-in my 3rd number to Sprint. It went much worse than I had planned.
* Good thing: I ported in a number from my lapsed Visible account and it went without problems.
* Bad things:
1. The Sprint site crashed after I had filled out all the info and clicked SUBMIT. When I tried later after that, it kept saying that it couldn't complete my order online and I had to call to complete the order over the phone.
2. Because I ordered over the phone, I missed out on the $80 cb.
3. I wanted to create the 3rd account in my daughter's name, but since she never had a credit history, they couldn't pull her info from her credit file to do the "ID verification questions". Without ID verification, she can't be an account owner, had to add her as a new line in my account.
4. Because she's a new line and not a new account, she couldn't use a referral, so I missed out on her $50 as referee and my $50 as referrer.

At least the LG Stylo 4+ that I bought on HSN for $60 + shipping could be used on Sprint. I've read that it was only marketed by Boost, and I worried that I might have to use it on Boost for several months first before it could be used with Sprint directly.
sounds like just about everything that could go wrong, went wrong. This is usually how things go for me.

Just wondering, why did your daughter need a credit history? Did you choose to do the credit check rather than no credit check?

so no credit check means no 300$?

You need to show activity from each sim even with 1 phone.
YMMV. Lines can have active status without sim usage. Nothing in T&C about usage for the GC offer.

1. Contact your current carrier to get your account number & PIN. If you receive a monthly bill, that info should be on the bill.
2. If you place your order with Sprint online, it'll ask if you want to get a new number or port-in a number. Select port-in, then enter your current phone number, acct #, and PIN. With my two orders, there are boxes on the screen for that info although some people said they never saw them. See attachments.
3. If you place your order with Sprint over the phone, the rep will ask for that info.
4. The port-in will take place when you activate your SIM. If you already have the SIM and enter its number, the port-in takes place right away. If you have to wait for new SIM, the port-in will take place when you go to the activation site or call Sprint and provide the SIM number.
Thanks so much, everyone. I am ported over to Sprint now as I type.
Can I use my old/previous Sprint online login credentials to sign into the Sprint online portal?

that is true but sprint is known to terminate lines that have no activity back in BYOD free days. They might or might not do it here as well. Better safe than sorry.

read through this. https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/c...y_account/

I would assume not activating provided IMEI or sim would count as " providing false or misleading information or documentation to obtain services or discounts"

I explained in post #2400. Credit check determines how good a credit-risk you are, how much credit Sprint can extend to you. ID verification determines if you are who you claim to be. Although they're two different kinds of checking, the info for both comes from your credit history. When you want to be an account owner, they want to make sure you're not opening an account using someone else's ID and let them get stuck with your bills.

Yes, I selected the No Credit Check option, but that wasn't the reason they didn't allow her to be an account owner. Because she has no credit history, they couldn't pull info from it to create the ID verification questions (which car you had owned, which mortgage company you used, etc). If they can't verify your ID, you can't own an account.

I still don't understand. I don't think there is any verification needed if selecting No credit check account.

I did search/select No Credit Check because I know that my daughter has no credit history. There might not be any ID verification (overtly or covertly) when you do it online, but when you do it over the phone (which I had to do after Sprint site crashed after I submitted my order) the rep insisted on asking 4 ID verification questions (you have 1 minute to answer each question). There were posts from other people in this thread who mentioned the same thing.
I'm getting tired of explaining.

Has anyone left kickstart and come back with this promo? Who did you port to?

I'm satisfied with my kickstart at 25 but it's still worth it to port and come back at 35 for a net profit. I own an unlocked s10+ and would upgrade to s20+. Have a non registered device available too.
Want to keep my number.

I will rep/gift if anyone responds in detail.

I figure if you wait 90 days for the $300 gift card to ship, you will be charged for the fourth month of service by then...
