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.

According to https://www.reddit.com/r/Sprint/c..._am_i_sol/ sprint uses sagestream and put more weight on your address and phone number. I been keep using a new number I am going to port so maybe that's it. I will try again tomorrow with an old number and see
Thats for credit check... I think here we are talking about No credit check acct without ssn

My neighborhood has homes ranging from about $500K, to $2M. I kept my home phone for all that time, since I converterd to Ooma, which is free, but still consistant. I still have my cell phone number since the early 90s, and have been with my current carrier since 2014. There were issues with, and without credit check. Nothing explains how the initial flags could have be set, except for an error in their system?

Does anybody know if my numbers are eligible considering I had sprint up until Feb 19th, 49 days ago, when switched to Mint?

Thanks

They might only use it to do basic look up. And use transunion along with it when full credit check so you end up seeing a hard pull on trans

If your numbers were previously on Sprint at any time, you're eligibility for this offer is not guaranteed per terms. Best course is to use numbers that did not originate at Sprint, like Google Voice.

As I said earlier, every time you try something and its flagged, all the information gets flagged, so basically you are getting everything piece of information flagged even thought it may have only been one piece that started it.

So when something fails for me, I try one more time and make sure all the information is entered correctly, if it fails I give up as I don't want everything getting flagged.



Quote from o2cats :
I did tell them it was for cashback, They told me there were no flags, so nothing could be fixed, and over the phone was the only way to complete the order.



Taking it a step farther, I logged in through a friends home, where IP would be quite different. I tried names of friends who gave their permission, so all different DOB. I never had a previous Sprint account, nor anyone at this address where I have lived for 35 years. Checked credit record, and no Sprint checks were listed, no flags in the report, with rating just slightly above 800. I would guess the rest of the homes in this neighbohood would be very similar.



Even though it does not explain how it started, it may show why it continues. I have never waited more than 24 hours, before trying something different. I guess it may be worth a try in a week, if they extend the program.

Your address is flagged. Mine was flagged for the following reason:

The address being used was associated with a chargeback from Boost Mobile from years ago. Because of that those details were added to a negative list.

Treasury team reviewed and cleaned those records associated with the address.

That is not an issue. You'll see that when you go through order process, when you enter your number for porting, it will identify it as coming from Verizon, not Tello.

If I activate a line with a different unlocked phone and swap the phones later that this would impact the rebate eligibility? I know Sprint lines are linked to specific IMEIs, I also know the small print mentions "phone must be active for 90 days." But say the phone broke and needed to be replaced?

I was thinking that or maybe the IMEI can be changed before the sim is activated - that would give me time to put in the order and change it later.

What do you guys think?
