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.

Have you ported your number to sprint??? Need to port to sprint....see pg367 for porting process.
fyi...@swammer @CalmMaid495 means nothing.
it will not alert this users.
replying to their post (like i just did) will alert them.
u can even reply to multiple users at same time so both will get alerted.

We need someone who has not yet submit the rebates to report his status details once he receives a tracking number. Before he is able to find his tracking number record on sprint and before email confirmation for rebate.....@swammer @CalmMaid495

you maybe right, got my 1st bill 45.19 for the 35$ plan, crazy. can't wait to bail out after 90 days.

They have to pay Uncle Sam and the state . But taxes and fees > 25% . Have to make sure no insurance charges.

realistically you have to pay for 4 months , right because I think canceling right at 90 days to be eligible for offer would be tough pushing you into the 4th month, so if you are doing this for the purpose of the MM deal, not counting other cash back 4 months = $180 on kickstart , net $120

Welp, now 4 of 5 lines have:

Invalid Mobile Number Type
Invalid Activation Date

So the best path now is to resubmit?

I know. Desktop and mobile is same page by default settings. Being too lazy since I'm using app (can't see post # or reply to multi-user is not available) and hoping they will see it if they are active on this thread.

So the rumor that this might be extended to 4/30 is false or is it too early to call ?

FYI, T-Mobile run a same program starting 4/8/20 for $200 per line up to 4 per new account. No cb, no referee bonus. They may run it again when the T-Mobile one ends. T-Mobile didn't state end date for that promo. I am worried that no more cb for sprint when it shifts to become T-Mobile since T-Mobile don't offer cb.

Usual telecom scam. From day one of this thread others sent out the alert. Sprint has multiple techniques in place to rip back and invalidate this com-on offer. Some may get the offer but many will be disappointed.

The one they pulled on me:

1. complied with the offer on March 15

2. Sprint sent 4-1 sim kit which I paid for as part of the initial online BYOD offer confirmed by email.

3. Opened BYOD link prior to end of offer, proceeded with activation using the --Activation Code-- provided in the original order confirmation email which curiously did not appear in the instruction letter included with 4 in one sim kit.

Information recognized at BYOD activation page link including the phone IMEI.

4. A message displayed in red after entering the sim iccid indicating that the process could not continue: ["Invalid SerialNo and iccid"]

No onscreen instructions given on how to proceed. Per the letter with the kit used the option to call 866-437-1818 to "compete the port-in process on the phone"

5. What followed over two days of time wasting insanity: 17 calls, dropped calls, cold transfers, extensive hold times ( 2 hours 46 minutes on one call alone).

Then this!:
[ "No worry sir I'm going to redo your activation an port-in over the phone and you'll be good to go"]

I was wise enough to know that creating a new order on the phone on the 10th will wipe out the $300 offer causing me to ask.

["No worry sir I'll make sure you get the best promotion available today"] !!!!!!!

One problem encountered was agents telling me: "Can't access your account with your pin number" They should have asked for Activation Code instead which does grant them access to account but apparently they are trained trained to insist on the "pin".

6. Agent sends a pin re-set link that can't work because (i) don't have a user name or password and (ii) can't work because you have not ever created a user account and can not create one until after activation.

Too many numbers: two order numbers, one each for the service and one for the sim kit order, plus two confirmation numbers, plus enterprise order number, plus delivery order number, plus billing system order number, plus account number.

Good luck trying to get an agent to even open your account ( Must tell them to enter Activation Code to grant access but 9/10 times they just argue insisting on pin.)

Please ask yourself: "Is my time and sanity worth the remote chance of getting a gift card if this remote chance of 'reward' requires multiple days out of life plus double dose of blood pressure medicine?

T-mobile now owns Sprint. TMO has the worst reputation of all for lying, puling scams, over-selling available slots on cell towers for a particular community, time-wasting trouble shoot your phone as first requirement, lying, over-billing and not pushing through promised credits, lousy time-wasting deceitful customer service and practices in general. Not to mention poor call quality, sketchy coverage.

Granted, a tiny number of Sprint-TMO CSR's are well trained knowledgeable and genuinely interested in providing the best service however there is little they can do about carefully calculated fraud at the top.
I really don't know what your talking about. T-Mobile has one of the best higher up executives ive seen. If you spend one day on the reddit tmobile subreddit. You will see that the higher ups actually respond to peoples claims

I have a question. For those that did BYOD, Did your lines activate right away or at least by the next day.

For some reason the imei which i didn't order the sim card got activated. While the other ones have not.
Even though i didn't enter the ICCID number, do you think thats why im not seeing them on my account or even the phone numbers I listed I was going to port over.

I think so. Need to call porting dept to modify number for this particular line. They didn't state in terms that must port in the original line entered during order for rebate. They just want to take you from competitors.

Lol I don't think so. But what are these "missing or invalid channel codes"?
