Thanks but I'm still missing the sequence here.
Are you saying that there's no port from MINT > Sprint?

Are these the steps in sequence(?):
-Port primary number from MINT to GV ($20 ouch).
-Ignore MINT for the Sprint port-in. Buy ebay ATT number and port in G7 phone to Sprint.
-Allow MINT 3-month prepaid to expire on April 29th. Asta la vista MINT.
-Set up GV to somehow forward both calls & txts from my primary number to the new number on Sprint.
Once you port out Mint to GV, Mint is closed.

Mint to Sprint will also close Mint account.

This should be sequence:
  1. Buy ebay ATT number and port in G7 IMEI to Sprint, but don't put Sprint SIM in G7 yet.
  2. Continue using MINT primary number on G7 until it expires on Apr 29. Remember MINT has hotspot, which Kickstart does not.
  3. On Apr 29, port primary number from MINT to GV ($20 ouch), which will automatically close your MINT account.
  4. Put Sprint SIM in phone, so it can now be used on Sprint.
  5. Configure GV to forward calls & txts from your primary number to the new Sprint number that was formerly on ATT.

Your steps look good. All I was trying to say was that I think you can use your phone and a phone number you acquire to port to sprint without your mint account closing.

For folks looking to buy cheap phones see Auction # 223960069997 and 223960073934 on eBay for iPhone SE for $48.

I got a bunch of them and they came in very good condition. I am going to request sprint to unlock after 50 days and resell after I get the $300 rebate. The resale value should hold since they would be unlocked by then.

In my case the seller was kind enough to send e imei's in advance by email.
Phone says sprint only, does that means its already registered at sprint? Will it count as byod ??

You are still eligible, but the process is somewhat complicated.
You need to contact Google first to unlink the Fi number from Sprint, but they will only do this after you cancel service, so you would be without service for a while.

A better idea is probably to create a new Google Voice number and port that to Sprint for $3, Very straightforward.
Later, when you terminate Google Fi, you can port the Fi number to Google Voice for free and point it to your new Sprint line.

I bought a pixel 3 xl with this offer and ported out from Google FI. But when i am trying to activate this number on Sprint, I could not. It is giving me an error. So i contacted CS and they created a ticket and the problem is yet to be resolved. Meanwhile i entered phone number in the promotions link and it shows as pending when i tracked. Hope this will work out.

The normal procedure is that you cancel your Fi account first, then contact Google to unlink the number from database they share with Sprint, after which the number is finally free to port to Sprint.

Sprint customer service will not be able to resolve this. You have to contact Fi customer service.

One can enter any random mobile number at promotions like and it will show as pending. It appears that the qualification criteria are not examined until 90 days from now, which means any problems are not identified at submission time, instead they are delivered as a nasty surprise late in the game.

Fastest way is order from Sprint. People on thread report that if you order by 2pm EST weekday, it arrives next day.

Do we have to insert the sim to complete the port and activation?
