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.

I don't know what to tell you. My wife received an email after completing her process, and I received an email as her referrer. I've also received emails for other referred people, one today. See screenshots below.
Nv got the referrer "...has made the switch to Sprint..." email.

Your phone will remain Locked to their network even after 90 days or switched out to other carriers. Sprint would tell u they have unlocked your device or will be unlocked in 24 to 48 hrs but thats BULL!!
Mine, friend's n families' phones all remain Locked after several attempts to unlock it.

Wondering if I can port out of Sprint BYOD free program into AT&T prepaid unlimited talk, text and 2GB data $15 per line ... then port back into Sprint in a few weeks to get the $900 on three lines? Prepaid is eligible right? From what I'm reading here that looks viable. I have a third brand new Moto X4 I haven't even been using, but $300 would make it almost free even if I kept the service for a year, which I very likely won't.
Prepaid is eligible but BYOD numbers are not eligible. You can map your current number to GV and port in with new number to this deal. Please refer Sprint BYOD thread and check for Comintel's latest comment on GV part.

Kickstart is supposed to be for new customers only but I suppose its possible if you call to cancel that retentions will let you convert to it.
I created an account with 4 lines, all Kickstart. Been almost 2 weeks since I activated those.
Now I plan to create another account with 1 line, Kickstart. Same name, of course. Do you think that will work?

I don't follow your post at all. Makes 0 sense to me.
Based on other posts in this thread, the answer to the question is that you have to port the number out for 45 days so there is not enough time.

While 45 days off Sprint is sufficient to qualify as a new account, the wisdom of this thread suggests that you will not get $300, unless the phone number/s that you port-in are absolutely new to Sprint (i.e., have never been on Sprint ever).

If you want to maintain phone number that is, or was, at Sprint at any time, then one workaround is to port that number to Google Voice and then point it to the never-before-on-Sprint number that you transfer to Sprint for the $300 offer.

Beware that any phone number originating from a Sprint MVNO like Boost, FreedomPop, Tello, TextNow, Ting, Virgin will probably not qualify as new to Sprint.

Yes, you can have two Sprint accounts with same-name-same-address, if one is credit check and the other no credit check.

How to do TCB with no credit check option? Not able to find tat option.
When you get to Sprint website, click magnifying glass on top right of page, then enter "no credit check". Click on the first search result, which will take you to the no credit check order process. You will get TCB credit when you check out.

Anyone please confirm that for 5 lines unlimited basic would be better option since that will be 100 per month for 5 lines.
I intend to keep 2 lines after getting the rebate cards - I should be able to convert to 35 kickstart plan later on or kickstart can only be selected while porting the line?
The best option is Unlimited Plus, which for limited time is available for same $100/5 lines as Unlimited Basic.

After merger, T-Mobile and Sprint may launch new plans as soon as next month. There is no guarantee that Kickstart or something similar will continue to exist. However, you should be able to change plans to whatever is then available, if you desire.

OK, so I created five new lines and the numbers to be ported in, as well as their associated sim numbers were entered as part of the process. I received an order number and PIN. Now what do I do to activate lines and make sure numbers get ported?
When you port five lines, the process is not automatic. Call the Sprint porting desk 866-437-1818. I was able to speak to someone instantly, and the process was quick—porting happens while call is in progress.

Cashback is 80 per activation, if I order 2 lines in one order, is it 80 or 160 cashback? Does no credit check new acct qualify for 50 referral bonus?

Can my phone be locked if I purchased an unlocked phone via Amazon.com prime which is not carrier specific when purchased .. I got moto x4
Sprint relocked my "not carrier specific" phone that I bought from Bestbuy. and it happens to be a moto x4.

And sprint won't unlock it even after I switch to other carrier.
I have tried to make numerous calls over a period of 2 and a half months and all i am told is my phone is either already unlocked or will be unlocked in 24 to 48 hrs.
but when i put a sim card from tmobile, it doesn't work.

that happened to all my friends and families and co-workers who took advantage of the BYOD last time.

Good lock!

The devices that they re locked, were those originally Sprint devices?

I have a factory unlocked Samsung S10 direct from Samsung.com, could they lock my IMEI to Sprint? How about with a Sim unlocked Verizon S10, could they lock that one to Sprint too?
From my own experience, Sprint doesn't care if it is original sprint unlocked devices or non sprint origin unlocked devices.

it happens to all my friends, families and co-workers' unlocked devices through the last BYOB plan.
