not sure why people would prefer sprint max to magenta max
This deal is the best you can get for legacy "cheap/free" sprint plan, no need to change plan.
If you go to Apple you will need to change your plan,
This deal only came live today, as I tried all the road possible (Best Buy,T-Mobile,Apple ) for my case (kickstart) and couldn't find anything, than today I tried again and saw this offer on my Sprint account.

Is the iPhone locked to sprint for a certain period of time?

What if I don't activate the phone? Does it mean I won't get the monthly credit?

It didn't change anything to my plan, I'm on Kickstart V2 + free line.
That's why we (kickstart v1) don't have this deal 🥺

I don't know if I'd trust this to not screw up my kickstart v1 and free line. In my cart I see the message "We're sorry, but your device won't work with your current plan. Click here to change plan now or you can change during activation."

Never had iPhone pre activated , most of the time they come shrink wrapped and sim card in the box.
- I highly doubt they come activated what happens if it get lost during delivery ?
- iPhone set up activation take a few step they will not waste time on it

You should try to get T-Mobile TNX , you will keep same plan but using T-Mobile sim, than you may get some love from Sprint/T-Mobile

Yea, I'd expect the same. I'd try to activate it anyway, worst case I'd use this phone for 40 days and get it unlocked afterwards

Are you sure ? cause my iPhone 7 was on Sprint/T-Mobile TNX.
Don't you get the nagging pop asking you to migrate to T-Mobile every time you log into your sprint account?

TLDR: This deal worked for me on a legacy Sprint SERO plan. TU and repped OP!

Went down the Sprint rabbit hole for the first time in a few years as I have happily owned an iPhone X since launch. Figured I'd post my findings and results here in case it helps anyone else…

I have an iPhone X and may be one of the few left on a "SERO 500" plan.

Upgrade offers weren't loading inside my account properly so I called the 888-876-8381 customer service number. Spoke to one rep who said I was eligible to upgrade and keep my plan with an $800 discount for trading in iPhone X.

She had to transfer me to someone in sales and the deal was called "tech up".

The person was able to process my swap and keep my SERO plan. Got an iphone 13 pro 256 for $10 per month for 30 months vs $36.66 per month for 30 months (I.E. $800 promo)

Pretty surprised it all worked and will likely do the same for my wife's phone tomorrow as she is on same SERO plan and also has iPhone X.

Going to get new phone activated on current plan and return old phone but came across SERO to SWAC conversion link I may also submit when this is all said and done.

This deal definitely works, I just got confirmation from another person that it worked on the original cheap legacy,
Maybe target to sprint customer who never took advantage of other tech deals.
Or people confuse this deal with the trade in offer on the front page of sprint that one is different.
