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

        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.

        Line 1: $60/mo.

I just wrote my experience.
They told me that in the agreement it stated that I can't switch device before 120 days
Thats not true, it says you can switch to another qualifying phone (under Q what if my phone breaks?)

2 family members of mine had that literally a couple hours after switching and had no problem switching to a different phone (one of which was not a qualifing phone) a third family member has an issue (somehow the activated Sim got lost) and is having issues switching to a new sim card the reps said they have to go to a Sprint store to activate.

So you switched to a non qualifying phone and the plan stayed?

From Sprints website (https://www.sprint.com/legal/unlocking_policy.html) it seems you can unlolck a sprint phone to use on Verizon after just 50 days of use on Sprint. I'm considering getting a replacement phone for my free service plan, and noticed that the "Sprint" iPhones are considerably cheaper that the Verizon ones. Plus I'm guessing they might work even better on Sprint...I just want to be able to switch back to Verizon if I'm not happy after the year...?

I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

i know that it didn't let me go thru because my browser cookies had a sprint account previously logged in, so I needed to do it with incognito

I was unable to open another account using the same social.

I'm on the free plan, and I have the Samsung Galaxy S8. Sprint doesn't allow talk and data use at the same time. They did however just release a feature called Sprint Calling Plus for S8 which allows Voice and data to work simultaneously. The problem is that it's part of an SW upgrade for Sprint branded phones, and since I have a non branded unlocked phone I don't have that SW version. Any idea how I can make it work. CS is totally clueless. This is a real deal breaker for me not being able to use data and voice simultaneously which is available from every other carrier for the last 5 years or more.

A relative got service with this deal in Lakewood using an iPhone 5S. They have been complaining that the data is terrible. Is it their phone or is service in Lakewood REALLY bad?

Can you find out the exact model of his iPhone 5s, starts with A1...

It's maybe missing Sprint's newer B41 band.

Strange, but I'm not sure any 5s has band 41. At least according to willmyphonework.net

Prob just the phone I've got a Moto g5 and it's terrific service in Lakewood (compared to TMobile , even without the comparison it's works very nicely)
