All my lines were BOYD if that makes any difference. Credit check account had 1 GV number and no credit check account had 3 GV numbers.
I think /hope missing channel code is standard for all submissions at this time. What's bad is if you'll have invalid channel code on the Sprint tracker.

I wish I would have tried reopening recently closed account instead of all the BS you mentioned. Ironically after all the denials etc. because of glitches, being flagged, fraud protection, etc. etc. I finally had to resort to starting an account over the phone. . .under my wife. . .she wasn't even there for the call. . .and they were perfectly fine with it. No logic. . .
When you called in, did you use your scary sweet female voice need..?

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.
Thats resonable. The line for which you had sim was activated right away.

For the other lines once you get the sim cards you need to activate online by entering your order number and then it will activate.

Once once a line activates does it show up online.

I think this is what we know at the moment:

Missing Is Delinquent <--- ---- Bill hasn't been paid
Missing Account Sub Type <-- No-Credit-Check account gets this
Invalid Mobile Number Type <-- Unknown reason
Invalid Activation Date <--------- Unknown reason
Missing Account Type <-------- No-Credit-Check account gets this
Missing Channel Code <------ All claims have this, appears to be no cause for alarm

Does that mean it will also request to port in the numbers I listed on that page

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
Why should folks have to escalate to 'higher-ups' in the first place? That's scheming right there. Most folks don't have the time to waste and the telecom execs know it.

Definition of "best higher up exec": the one who racks up the most profit for the company by whatever means necessary.

Why would a early adopter cellular subscriber like me who was also a Voicestream subscriber when TMO took them over decades ago need to read anything on reddit? The issues have worsened every year.

My advice to all is to exit quickly as soon as any warning signals surface like no clear confirmation of getting the promised promotion or porting in that should take 15 minutes online but suddenly requires a phone call then two then ten then twenty phone calls. Decide in advance on how many hours of your life you are willing to sacrifice for a lick and a promise.

No need to fret over missing this deal many more are on the way.

The economic and social indicators are in. Pre-Wu life is to be handed down as legend. Post-Wu will see drastically lower demand for non-essentials including mobile with desperate offers to retain a diminishing pool of subscribers.

What dire warnings did the U.S. Postal Service issue today? Who but Wall Street believes that printing 500 trillion dollars backed by nothing will save anything?

Ha, no. I was not "her" I was me. Just went on and on how 3 of us, with several addresses, had spent hours over weeks trying to setup an no credit check account only to get denied over and over. . .and over. . .guess I bored the Rep into submission. . .it's just funny that I was going to set it up in her name and the rep never even said why not you, or is she available to verify, etc etc.

Ironically one of the lines needed porting department to complete the port. . .and then they needed her present. . .well I must have bored her into submission as well, cause I wasn't waking up the wife who had a 6am shift coming. . .

that would be me. I tried no credit & credit on both my addresses, and it said I need to call.

the only one that might go through it my existing 1yr FP account.

do you think it will work? I still see the add, but when I add to cart, the $300 isn't there.
sprint rep says it should be good. I only have 2 lines left on my 1yr FP, and I can only add 4 for the new Unlimited Plus. Oh, and the price isn't $100, so I'll probably go with Unlimited Basic.
What do you mean by you still have 2 lines left on your 1 yr FP?
Meaning you had more and you potted out and ported back in to sprint for this $300 GC deal ?
Is it supposed to work that way ?

my 1yr FP originally had 5 lines, but I've ported out 3 lines.

I didn't use those for this deal. I used GV for all my accounts.
