I have posted this message early this morning, may get no attention. Please help!!!!!

I have a situation here and need help. tried to unlock a google voice phone number for porting, but credit cards were all declined. After several tries, the account was temporarily suspended, WTF. Now my ordered phones will be here in a few hours, but I cannot unlock the number, asked me to provide ID for verification, but who knows how long this may take, I should have ordered Ebay number. What can I do now? FYI, I tried so long and so hard to finally have this Sprint order passed, then come to this unexpected dilemma. I almost fainted.
Is there anyway that I could change GV # to Ebay number at this stage ?
Call 866-437-1818 for porting dept. Tell them you want to port in a different number instead of the original one (don't tell them you get this att number from eBay) they know what to do.

Let me try to get this: if I port in a number for my BYOD phone on the $35. Kickstart plan (which is really $40. with taxes, fees) use the service for 3 months and then hope I get the $300. Mastercard. So I've spent $40. x 3- $120. plus a $30-$40. activation fee and it's now a $150. net deal? Hardly worth it in my opinion especially with the shortcomings of the Sprint network.

no activation fee, don't forget the extras before.

it's a money maker if you can get 5 lines.

You missed a few things:
1. Activation fee is waived.
2. Use one of the c.b. sites and get $80 c.b. per new line.
3. Use a ref link and get $50 bonus per account.
That adds another $160 ($30+$80+$50) to the profit. You can get up to 5 lines per account, so multiple the profit by 5 if you do the max. Does that change your perception on this deal?

$150 is a lot of money to lot of people since you are locked down and all helps, beside extra RF fee and CB fee to sweet the deal, not mention the 3 or 4 month service(even you dont use)

The numbers should already be ported. Sprint actually called me (on different phone number) to do all porting ver the phone. I received all 5 devices the next day (Tribute phones). Was told when I got phones to call activation number, but the phones have no service.
Is the port complete? Did you ever take out the sim from the phone and mismatch them? Sim need to match IMEI, turn off phone and restart always help. Reset network to update carrier profile on phone. If still not working, take sim out and reinsert it back. Phone sometimes can't detect SIM card.....or simply you have no signal bar in your house. Sprint has bad signal reputation in some areas

When I go to https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/br...ation.html to activate your sim by linking IMEI to SIM card number, I get the message that says no pending order for this confirmation and billing zip code ,wihch tells me the SIMs are linked ti IMEIs.

I have not taken out any of the SIMs that came in the phones.

I'll try resetting. Thanks.

Good on the activation fee waiver. Is this $50. bonus in cash and if so, how long is the wait? Or issued as a credit? Have people been receiving it?

The $50 bonus is determined after 30 days or so. Don't know if it will be on a GC or check. The confirmation email says "Please keep your billing address updated at www.sprint.com > My Sprint as we'll mail your reward only to the billing address located on your Sprint account. We'll send you another email when the reward is approved.". This deal started on 3/14 so nobody has received the payout yet.

The extra $50 is a prepaid GC that you get in the mail. I think it's about 30 days to receive it.

When I go to the About Phone" under Settings, there is not even a number listed on the devices.

Thanks. Do you think this will void the cash back and $300. Do you think return the phone and try do another order today is less complicated?

To those using your family or friend's addresses when signing up, are you going back in to update your billing address? Won't the $50 referral gift/$300 sprint gift cards (assuming you picked physical card) get sent to their addresses?

Enter IMEI here to see if phone activated on sprint, https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/br...&flow=BYOD have your create an online account? If you do you can see porting status. Landline takes longer to port in.
