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.

I recommend you wait a few days. The few data points show that is will change to final processing in a few days.

I have a 3rd acct that was submitted 3/20 and I will wait a few days before contacting Sprint.
Thanks for the swift response !!!

Thanks again. Repped. I fired up my hotspot and disabled VPN. I was able to go through some of the steps.

So it seems like you just order this sim with $15 plan on it. Once you get it, you go through the activation process and during that process I guess it will ask you for number transfer or new number assignment. So this process seems more like MINT than Visible. Does it require you to setup acct or it is not needed? Thanks.
Sorry, I dont know. I just looked at what the plan offers, too basic for me.

What does the 15 plan include? Do you have more info on the process questions I asked?
See attachment for what the $15 plan includes. I bought two of these deals (SIM Kit + $15 Plan) using the $15 off code in March this year. Back then, the $15 plan came as a separate time card which you could apply to any phone on Tracfone. Now the days and units are preloaded to the SIM.
If possible, select an AT&T SIM instead of Verizon. To activate a TF/Verizon BYOD SIM, you have to provide the IMEI of a phone that's on Verizon's "whitelist" (not stolen, not for non-US market, not still on Verizon contract, etc). You can't use the same IMEI for more than one SIM, so you would need multiple phones (or IMEIs) for multiple SIMs. With AT&T SIM, no IMEI is required, so you can activate a bunch of SIMs for use with one single phone.
Make a separate order for each deal (SIM + $15 plan). Once the order was accepted, clear the browser's cache or use another browser for the next order.

If you create an (optional) account, you can put all the SIMs into that account and pick a PIN for the account which applies to all SIMs/phones in the account. Makes it easier to port out from Tracfone later if you want.
I'm a long-time TF user and help people in the Tracfone section of Howard Forums. I'll be happy to answer questions.

Wow, so I can buy multiples?

This might work for me then. when does the clock start ticking?

What should I select for Sprint phones? I have an iPhone that was bought in Apple store and a few that were Sprint bought that I can unlock.

Try contacting [email protected]
I was contacted by [email protected] and told they cant approve due to referrals. I replied back saying....

2. at a minimum get the difference of the rebate and the referral credits.

I have exchanged a few email with [email protected] (after I sent an inquiry to [email protected]) about my wife's reward cards as a referrer which she didn't get.

Did you get a reply from them after stating your points?

Asking to get a difference between the $300 GC and the referral cards received won't work for me, because I got 9 x $50 referral cards for my line1.

Yes they said they will approve it as a 1 time courtesy.

I was brave to ask for difference because this account only had 3 referrals. So I would be happy with another $150.

My status hasnt change to rejected though so I dont really know if contacting them would have made a difference at least for my 2nd KS account.



Yours is a different than mine though.

Yes, you can use the "one-time" code to buy multiple SIM + $15 plan if you clear the cache after each order, or use the incognito mode of your browser.
The 30 days starts when you activate the SIM.
Most Sprint phones have at least the 3G/UMTS freqs to use with AT&T. Most DON'T have the freqs to use with Verizon.

Is the promo still available?

So how do you get 5 SIMs (0.99c each) to port out 5 lines? You create 5 accts with 5 diff emails like Visible? Name, Address, Payment can be the same, but 5 diff emails? Do you provide the port-in info during acct signup? Once you activate the sim, the number is ported just like Visible does? I wipe my browser completely clean at the exit. I use VPN so I can get diff ip address if required. I would appreciate the process. Any suggestion on which network to select? ATT or VzW and not T-Mobile since lines are being ported out from Sprint/T-Mobile? Thanks
You only need to register for one account. All SIMs that you activate will be in that one account with same PIN to port out. You will be asked to provide port-in info for each SIM that you activate.
RetailMeNot shows that promo good till Feb, 2022.

Sprint will make you pay (in time and stress) for every single cent they owe you.

I feel specially sorry for those with 25+ trackings.

You'll get your money at the end but not easily.

Good luck to all!
