Bring your eligible phone to Sprint and get FREE Unlimited data, talk and text for one year. There’s no annual contract and you can keep your phone, number, accessories, photos, apps and music. It’s really that simple.

You’ll get Sprint’s fully-featured Unlimited including:

    Unlimited data, talk and text
    HD streaming:
        Video at speeds up to 1080p
        Music at up to 1.5mbps
        Gaming streams at up to 8mbps
        Unlimited 4G LTE data for most everything else. Data deprioritization applies during congestion.
    10GB of high-speed data per line to use toward mobile hotspot, VPN and Peer-2-Peer usage. Once your 10GB is used up:
        Continue at up to 2G speeds (32 Kbps) on our network for no additional cost, or
        Purchase more on-network high-speed data for $15/1GB to tide you over for the rest of your bill cycle

This introductory pricing:

    Free service for 1 year for new customers who switch to Sprint and sign up on sprint.com/1yearfree between 6/9/17 and 6/30/17. Save until 7/31/18.
        You'll save more than $900 (compared to Verizon’s one-line unlimited rate plan) in the first year
        Switch your whole family and save even more!
        A standard $1.99 admin fee, $0.40 regulatory fee and other taxes and fees apply
        Your $30 activation fee is waived as part of this promotion. The fee will appear on your first bill and a credit will appear within 2 bills.
    Requires a Sprint SIM card, eBill and Sprint AutoPay ($5/mo./line discount applied within two invoices)
        If AutoPay is cancelled, you’ll pay $5/mo./line
        If AutoPay and eBill are removed, a $7.99/mo. charge will apply for Account Spending Limit customers
            Your Spending Limit is the monthly maximum amount of spending per phone on your account based on your credit decision
            For accounts with multiple phones, the total spending limit is calculated as the number of phones on the account multiplied by the spending limit per phone
    Must be a Verizon customer bringing new lines to Sprint. You must own the phone(s) you're bringing to Sprint.
    After 7/31/18, pay:
        Line 1: $60/mo.
        Line 2: $40/mo.
        Lines 3-5: $30/mo/line
        Pricing shown with AutoPay. Add $5/mo./line without AutoPay

Guys be careful with sprint. They put on $25 equipment protection plan on my line.  I just finished removing it from my account. And make sure that you have autopay setup. Otherwise you pay $5 extra

Was anybody able to add Sprint premium experience for free calls and roaming to Canada?  It doesn't stick to my account. I get the confirmation that it was added when I do it online, but it does not stick. CS told me Ion my first days that it's not available for the free accounts.

Upthread they said the T&C say if it is lost or stolen it is ok....    CSR told me the same.

If I order a SIM before deadline but activate afterwards will I still get promo?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Woohoo!  Promo extended until August 31, 2017.  They are also adding some new phones to their eligibility list.  Even if your phone is not on the list, double check with the promo department to see if it is eligible anyway (some are).  If so, you can escalate to use that phone to open the account.

I have gotten different reports as to how long you have to wait before replacing the original, eligible phone with a different phone that works on the Sprint network (from immediate to months!)

Where do you see that the promo was extended another month?

Inserted an active VZW postpaid SIM card into my prepaid iPhone, activated no problem, then went and inserted my Sprint SIM card and it activated no problem as well, so here we go.
Out of pocket:
$199.99 + tax ($13.75) for the phone
$15.05 for the SIM
$3.00 for unlocking a Google Voice number
Total paid $231.79 for 12 months of service that's less than $20 per month
If you used a Verizon postpaid SIM, why did you need a google voice number?

That vzw sim is just to unlock that specific iPhone. Doesn't even need to be an active sim

What is inside info?  Someone has knowledge of information that is not yet public.  I tried to verify the info through public means to no avail.   :-\   I tried calling other reps to no avail.  The person who gave me the info actually gave me more detailed info that I did not write.  Is he correct?   ???   I suppose most people who get inside info that should not be leaked in the stock market don't rely on it....but some do.

As confident as this person was, and as much as I wanted a HT, I suppose the for sure thing would be to think July 31 until we can corroborate the info.  :(

Thanks. I only have a friends "active" SIM. All I need to do is slip it in, wait a min, and slip it out? No need to call Verizon? (I plan on porting a Page Plus number, so will insert PP SIM once unlocked.)

Is this a brand new iPhone? It has to go thru the activation process which takes 2 minutes. No need to call vzw.
