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.

If you are sure that you got wrong sim for your phone. Try to order a new 4 in 1 sim kit from amazon that contains 4 sims for any device type, or buy a new sim from sprint accessory page. If sprint asks you to pick a service plan when ordering a sim, they just asking you to sign up for a new line or new account again. link to order sim only from sprint. https://www.sprint.com/mysprint/s...swAdz_8M1A, then click on the right arrow to move category to right until you see the category "sim"

ordered sim kit mid march

today I tried to activate but says the sim card is no good although the phone did boot up with it.

tonight placed another order paying for another sim card got conf of the $300 offer

Does the offer require completion of the activation by midnight Apr 9?

Does the offer require completion of activation by midnight April 9 or just completion of check out by that time?

If activation then it looks like Sprint took me for two worthless sim card kits.

Wouldn't be so bad if I had not also got ripped by ATT buying a Galaxy S10+ unlocked by Samsung which ATT refuses to provision for wi-fi calling.

ATT also deactivated my ATT microcell so no cell service just a nice bill every month.

New S10+ has been sitting in the draw since January. No cell towers at my house. Out $600 for worthless phone plus $100+ in ATT charges for service they refuse to provision.

Good to know these corporations are getting 20 trillion to ease the pain.

No, order by 9th but activate within 10 days. So first order is no good with respect to 300 GC

Not my intentions, but was somewhat out of my hands, literally from the beginning.

Thanks for all your help here and other related deals. . .and picking up for my lack of input on this thread a couple of weeks ago to now. . .

And Ready, I did a dry run a few minutes ago, and didn't see the $10 discount for plus either. . .triple whammy today if things don't change (crappy CB, no Plus bonus, no $300). . .
Your status as an SD legend is assured with this haymaker of a deal—clearly, one for the ages, with such a confluence of favorable stacks!!!

However, I feel terrible that you yourself where unable to fully partake. We'll have to pass a collection jar—for our tears! LMAO

1. Offer says it ends 4/9/20. Is this PT or CT or ET? Or do they consider the order (billing address) location to identify the date?

2. If we ordered at 11:40 PM PST for a billing location in CST region, does this holds good to entitle for offer?

3. Is there a way to verify if an order placed is entitled for the offer or not before initiating porting request?

Sorry for too many questions Smilie

Check your order status, what date does it say? If 4/9/20 and have $300 attached to it in your email summary, you will get it after 90 days active service and on time payments. If 4/10/20 as order date, you will likely need to get human involved to manually look at your rebates

Thanks! Looks like Sprint sent the wrong sim kit. Don't know why the phone booted up and seemed to take it. If the 10 day limit was the issue then I don't know why it didn't kick out on the activation page when when I entered the order March order number.

Did not activate right away because ATT kept assuring me that no wifi calling was only because my phone needed 3 weeks time wasting of ATT trouble shooting then a new ATT sim card.
No Sprint service here so was counting on being able to use Sprint wi-fi calling. Might as well go back to copper landline. Thirty years of cell bills with no or crappy service. It's never the carrier's fault. Always the subscriber's phone. No worry just "get new 'free phone with two year contact" but first lest trouble shoot for 90 hours, we're sure you've got nothing better to do.

Call or chat with Sprint CS tomorrow and have them refund cost of SIM cards as credit to your account. CS reps are empowered to apply <$5 credit adjustments, at their own discretion

To qualify for $300 offer, complete order by Apr 9 ("order confirmation date"). Unrelated to offer qualification, Sprint standard practice is that you have 10 days to activate, although some say it may be as long as 30 days.

TLDR, just stay away from AT&T—the A in their name stands for aggravation.

That's only the beginning. Oh, and we've also reduced carrier competition to just three players. Corporate socialism, just like they had in the Soviet Union.

Your situation is complicated. You said you placed two orders for sim.
For your 1st order, did you get to pick a service plan with the sim by providing IMEI to sprint Or paid $2.99 for sim only buying from sprint as accessory
For your 2nd order, same question asked
If a service plan is chosen along with sim order, you have sign up for a sprint account. If no service plan is picked when ordered, you didn't even sign up for service...
Input your info here https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/br...ivate:BYOD if you can activate your sim from 1st order.

Does your order page looks similar to the first link? If yes to both orders, sorry you didn't sign up for sprint service
