IMPORTANT information about
your phone service



IMPORTANT NOTICE 
 
ABOUT YOUR SERVICE



Dear Members,
 
As many of you know, RingPlus operates on the Sprint network.
 
SPRINT HAS NOTIFIED RINGPLUS THAT IT PLANS TO STOP ALL SERVICES TO RINGPLUS AND ITS SUBSCRIBERS ON FEBRUARY 11, 2017 AT 5:00 PM CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME. 
 
RingPlus has an open line of communication with Sprint regarding this issue. RingPlus has requested that Sprint give us all 30 days before service is turned off to allow you more time to find another wireless provider.
 
If Sprint does not agree, RingPlus will file a motion with the court for an injunction to prevent Sprint from stopping service on February 11, 2017 at 5:00 pm Central Daylight Time. 
 
As many of you know, RingPlus has sued Sprint. The lawsuit is public information. You can access public documents through a variety of online sources such as PACER (https://www.pacer.gov/). While it is not RingPlus’ policy to discuss ongoing litigation, we feel you have a right to know.
 
 
What this means for you:
 
As of the time of this Notice, Sprint plans to turn off all service to you and RingPlus on February 11, 2017 at 5:00 pm Central Daylight Time. (As noted above, RingPlus is trying to get that to be 30 days.) Your phone service will stop. You will not be able to use your RingPlus services including cellular talk, text or data. If you would like to keep your phone number, you would need to move it to another wireless provider before February 11, 2017 at 5:00 pm Central Daylight Time (i.e., port out your number).
 
RingPlus will update you about major developments, and provide you links to other wireless providers that would happy to serve you in future.
 
Best regards,
RingPlus

Other than disputing?

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Same as any other port. You give the new carrier the number and account number

MintSim might also be a viable option.
(It's a T-Mobile MVNO)

I've got an old Sprint iPhone that I use only for data (mostly Waze, occasional email or web access). Since I'm restricted to Sprint MVNOs, it looks like my best bet is Tello (http://tello.com), which has an a la carte system -- you get to choose number of minutes, texts, and data separately. 500 MB will probably be enough for me, so the cost is $8 a month. Not nearly as good as the $0 a month I've been paying to R+. There's one MVNO that's data-only but it's more expensive (http://charge.co).

It's an iPhone 4. Doesn't have a SIM slot, so it can't be used on GSM networks.

The phone has to be activated with that number,  seems tello is the best option for those wanting to keep their number.. but still waiting on the port.

Aha. Have you tried prefunded sim cards on eBay? Some used to allow porting.

Edit: Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/201614214219
