While on chat for porting in BYOD Amazon deal, just after midnight, the BYOD page changed to include the $300 BYOD bunus.

Only terms so far posted: "Requires port and online registration; Prepaid Mastercard ships after 90 days."

Further terms: https://www.sprintpromotionshub.com/?clickref=1101l7NgWhxI&ECID=AFFStick Out TongueH:slickdeals1&utm_source=PH&utm_medium=affiliate&dclid=CKmAjprylugCFY-_wAod968JfA#/promodisplay [sprintpromotionshub.com]

Limit 5 per new account.

"You can register at www.sprint.com/offers, enter Promo Code 300BYOD313." Per Chat agent, when I inquired. . .

https://www.sprint.com/en/landing...:Shop:BYOD


No Credit Check Option: https://www.sprint.com/en/landing...check.html

This deal is also an option as a MM for most current Sprint customers, as you can have both a Credit Check (conventional) account AND a no credit check account. And you get new customer status an perks when you open the 2nd account. Just need a few extra numbers to port in and extra IMEI's to match them to. . .
If you purchase something through a post on our site, Slickdeals may get a small share of the sale.

How to cash in your rebate cards:

Quote from hpham_53 :
I can buy a money order up to $1000 and pay 88 cents for fee at my local Dillons. .... It's a no brainer.
Quote from swammer :
If you can use them at Staples or CVS for a VGC, you get 5% back, so there is no cost! You even earn some $!
Quote from Genghis_Khan :
Prepaid cards can be used to buy the equivalent Walmart gift cards to use for merchandise, groceries or gas. People also buy Amazon gift cards and put the money on their Amazon accounts. If you do a lot of online purchase it is easy to liquidate this without losing money. We can use the cards also to pay for our Sprint bill. We can do it in the my Sprint app and you can choose the amount you want to pay. Great if we have money leftover after we use the card to purchase other items.
Quote from hpham_53 :
For people who frequently buy items on Ebay, the Sprint GCs can be used to buy Ebay GCs. The advantage is that you can use up to 4 Ebay GCs for a big purchase, but you cannot use multiple Sprint GCs for a big purchase.

oh my...last minute drive , and there will be lots of questions from newbies.
4/9 is last day ti sign up (rumors are it MAY get extended)
5/10 is last day to have all information entered for cash back

LG History Checker post 6855

Quote :
for sprint phones (android only)

from dial pad
dial

# # 7 8 6 #

(no spaces)

hit view.
u can see the history of phone
date activated, min used etc
so this is a high level summary. keep reading entire wiki for detailed questions .

here is what i know (if anyone want to add or fill in where i have not given information?):
note i have hidden some information as it is not allowed on SD rules, and i dont want to break sd rules, but u should be able to figure it out.)

-2. best practice: do all in edge browsewr, not chrome or mozilla. if not edge , try chrome in cognito mode

-1. port in is required for all lines. no contract, but u will need to stay on for 4 months to get gift card of $300

0. best practice: sign up as new user that hasn't been with sprint for ~45 days to be safe.
use spouse name/ etc.

1. pre sign up bonus: there is one (cant tell u how here)

2. decide if u gonna do 1 line or maximize cash back money maker with 5 lines.
a. if 1 line , then kick starer
b. if 5 lines then 5 for 100 plus
c. if 5 lines , then best practice is that they be done once

4. if u need numbers to port in, then ebay sellers have att numbers for $5 each. they are usually quick and will respond with 10 minutes, with account number, pin , telephoen numbers

5. u can byod or buy phone
a. byod , need correct sim for your phones
b. buy phone, people are buying phone from sprint as they sign up.
the best is refurbished lg from sprint for $50.
u can get this phone practically free..if use certain cbsite u will $125 back per line (cant tell u whcih one here)
c. u cannot mix/match byod + buy phone. its either 5 byod or 5 buy phones

6. post sign up bonuses...there are few, but i dont details.....AA miles back, love my CU,
Walgreens...edit: i am not sure which ones will and will not work

7. there is also the option of no credit check:
a. the details are: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
_________________________________________________________________________




Sprint Perks is highly likely stackable with the $300 rebate, see last post from page pg413.
Warning: Plan ahead on your final plan(s) objective. Sign up for whatever plan you're going to keep from the start. Going from Kickstart to the unlimited plans with the BYOD discounts took me nearly 2 hours, 4 reps, a manager and a lot of whining to get and I still wasn't able to get Unlimited Plus for $100 for 5 lines and had to settle with Unlimited Basic for $100. see posts 3641 & 3645, 3653


**Select Sprint Unlimited Plus plan if you have 5 lines to port ... total will still be 5 for $100**
**1st line $60, 2nd line $40, 3rd line Unlimited Basic $0, 4th line Unlimited Basic $0, 5th line Unlimited Basic $0**



to get $300 rebate:


1. Requires port and online registration; Prepaid Mastercard ships after 90 days. - Direct URL - https://www.sprintpromotionshub.com/#/300BYOD313

2. it is pretty well understood throughout this thread that one must be a new customer, defined as one who has been away from Sprint for > 45 days.

3. Best practice if the numbers ported-in have not previously been on Sprint ever.
i. Sprint lines from 1yr free BYOD will most likely NOT work, not even with a POPI (port out, port in).

see screen shot below on wording that "previously activated number may be ineligible for the offer"

still that hasn't stopped folks from trying. so use your best judgement.


4. there are other items that will make this deal even sweeter. cannot list here, but u need to refer to the posts spread around in this thread.

If you porting in multiple lines to a single account, make sure you do it in one Order otherwise only the first line will qualify as new customer and the rest will be counted as for existing customer



4-in-1 sim kit (says 3 but is 4) is $3 from Sprint with free overnight shipping:
https://www.sprint.com/mysprint/s...ndent=true
Sim A = 506C
Sim B = 416Q
Sim C = 506TQ
Sim D = 516TQ

Sim part number needed for your phone:

To finish porting, call: Call: 866-437-1818 or 877-503-3269

The easiest method to complete your number port is to DIY on the website.
  1. Get your order number and passcode (from your order confirmation when you placed your order)
  2. Activate your SIM cards at this link [sprint.com] using your confirmation number and zip
  3. Your SIMs are activated but they won't work because your old carrier still has the number
  4. To get account number, look on the packing slip if you got the sims through Sprint. Or, open a conversation with online chat support. May wait up to 30 mins.
  5. Ask them for your account number so you can setup your online account. You may be asked for your confirmation number and passcode.
  6. Setup your online account.
  7. In your dashboard, you may get an alert stating that your number transfer failed and to click on the link to resolve. Use that link. If you don't have an alert, you can manually find the link under the transfer option.
  8. The transfer page lists all your activated SIMs and their number transfers. They should all be failed. If you don't see a number, then you haven't activated that SIM or you need to wait a bit longer for Sprints system to refresh.
  9. Open each transfer and enter the correct verification information for your old carrier. The form fields may already have values prepopulated, I recommend deleting old values and entering in the correct values. Important form fields are account number, pin, and zip.
  10. Wait 5 minutes, reopen or refresh the transfer page and each number should say "Ready for Transfer". If it tells you to call the Sprint support line, you need to wait longer for Sprint's system to update. Just wait another 5 mins and refresh. If it says failed, then you entered some incorrect information and you need to get the correct information from your old carrier. For example, some carriers expect you to put in leading 0's (i.e. 00012345) for account numbers.
  11. Whenever you want Sprint to start porting, click on each number on the transfer page and tell Sprint to port. There are 2 confirmations. The ports will take around 10 mins.
  12. Wait 10 mins and your phones should work. If not just wait longer for the port or you have a different issue.
  13. Once your numbers have been ported, you can register for the promotion.

Please see page 367 post 5495 for detailed instructions after order placement..

Pixel 3XL Users: How to confirm your phone is completely unlocked and request assistance
Go to post 8910

Your comment cannot be blank.

Featured Comments

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.

You will still be able to sign into that old S account for several months (I guess for billing/payment purposes). When you sign in, try adding a phone or line to account, and it should then throw up the "account closed" screen. . .then you know.

Hi, sorry to ask you for help via the old thread, could you let me know how to load the visa gc, then transfer to bank account? Do I have to load to my Venmo, then send to my friend, in order to transfer the money to bank account ? or just load the gc to my own Venmo account, then transfer to my bank account? I have loaded some gc to my Venmo account, but the balance on Venmo always shows " zero", when I try to transfer to my bank account, it always tells me that I don't have enough balance to transfer, although I have enough balance on the loaded gc?

Sorry for bother you, Thanks for let me know the process.

I am planning to transfer my sprint line to Mint. I already purchased the SIM and plan from Best Buy.
(1) If I request the transfer on Mint.com, how long does it take to transfer the number over to Mint?
(2) Also my current cycle on Sprint ends on 10/17, is it too risky to do it on 10/16 or 10/17?

Thanks a lot.

Sprint default pin is 6 to 10 digits.

You can change your account PIN at any time by signing in to sprint.com and clicking My Account then select Profile & Settings.

So my Sprint ordeal is finally over! I ended up getting executive CS to give me a $160 credit because of the BeFrug scam. I was not sure if I would get a check mailed if I canceled so I kept service for another 2 months. Even though I really did not need service because Sprint sucks by me and I have Verizon line. I decided to port that number to Visible for the $100 BYOD, $50 MM before I kill the line. So I took a risk on whether or not Id get the check for half the credit. Today I got my $80 check. So moral of the story is credits on Sprint accounts get refunded even if its not from overpayment and it is a manual CSR credit.

How long did it take for you to get the check after you ported your # out?

No one agreed. Back when many people got paid by BF I complained threatening to go to state AG on BeFrug, to Sprint. They gave me credit to use on my account, not actual money. I used half of it on Sprint. The other half came as a refund check about a month after I ported out my final number, I would have ported out earlier but I wasn't sure if thebalance would be refunded since it was a courtesy credit

I feel that "Todd" who I believe owns BeScamFrugal purposely screwed a few people to keep money for himself even though Sprint approved

Good to know you got the refund check. I agreed Sprint made it difficult for us to get the BF cashback. I am just curious if you had to call them and ask them to send you the refund check after you ported out the # or if the refund check showed up in your mailbox automatically.

Thanks.
