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

question:
I got an email
but my service month renews on the 27th of the month
so when's my actual deadline to get this ported out before being charged $60?
7/31 ? or 8/26 ?
Based on a chat I had the Sprint, it'll be $60 prorated from 8/1-27

I've done 3 hucas with TMobile so far. They keep insisting no way to port without a plan.

What TMobile number/department are you guys calling?

Choose a plan but just don't add money. Choose lowest plan...

I'm assuming your reffering to Sprint, the answer is yes, they don't really care about the Sim card as much as the IMEI being it's officially CDMA, you can never just move the sim, it always requires activation on a different IMEI which is a simple process on the website.

I've done 3 hucas with TMobile so far. They keep insisting no way to port without a plan.

With the pay as you go there's no need to add a plan .. you can say after the port is successful you'll deal with adding airtime.. (it may be a different Sim card, the "digital" one sold on eBay works for perfectly for this)


Does anyone know if and what the charges are for domestic roaming? The only thing I found was that global roaming is included but no details on cost etc or any info about domestic...

I'm on the phone now with Sprint trying to close my account/cancel plan. Apparently they can't close the account on the same day. It only closes at the end of the billing cycle, per the rep.

Is this true?

You shouldn't have to call Sprint to cancel. The point is to port over to T-Mobile. That'll automatically cancel your Sprint plan.

True but it's anyways too late for me to port out by tonight afaik. (Are there any services that port out  a number in a few hours?) I was just trying to avoid fees, not get another year of service.

 I just find it very surprising that it can't be closed right away.

Seems like tethering is no longer included :(
Is there a known hack/workaround to get USB/wireless tethering to work even without it officially being on the plan?

FYI there is no mobile hotspot on the plan this time around
Last year I had a free hotspot

If I can get my hot spot to work, is there a charge for it?

The plan does dot include hotspot. Meaning it won’t work.
Let’s say you make it work with pdanet or similar then they won’t know and they won’t charge you because they don’t know ...., because it does not work ...
