New Line of Service No Contract

[plane.love]

I spent a while taking care of sprint issues today
Basically my question is now the follows. I have an overdrive that has no service. I want a mobile broadband plan for it. If I add it as a new line is there any way not to have a two-year contract. It sounded like even tho I am providing my own equipment I must commit to a two year contract...

Best way is to buy from At&t or T-Mobile, get a penny smart phone & ebay it to cover the contract termination fees. This works best with those carriers since you can just move the SIM card, but perhaps you can do this with sprint too

AFAIK with Sprint you must have a 2yr with a new line, even if you BYOD.

Did you even understand the OPs question? Also, Sprint uses CDMA, so no sim card.

Well I think so. I just suggested he can go to another carrier, & maybe you can swap the device on the line with sprint too, in whihch case that will effectively be a contract free plan
