Sprint’s limited time online offer for a $15/month unlimited plan will end tomorrow night. You can add up to 4 phones on the same plan for just $15/phone. The only catch is that you need to bring your own phone or buy a new phone and pay for it upfront.
There is no published time limit for how long you can keep the $15 plan, but Sprint (Or T-Mobile if the merger is approved) can decide in the future to end the plan.
One nice benefit is that Sprint will gain access to T-Mobile’s towers regardless of whether the merger is approved, so that should help with Sprint service.
It’s worth noting that Sprint is still offering a free year of service if you bring your own device from another carrier. The end date of that promotion is unknown, but it can end at any time. The free plan also includes 10GB of mobile hotspot data, which the $15/month plan does not. However after a year the price of service will go from $0/month to $60/month.
Both plans include free Global roaming.
If Sprint allows people to stay on the $15 plan for more than a year, then that will be the better option in the long-term. I’d assume that Sprint won’t jeopardize losing those customers by kicking them off the plan that quickly, but it’s impossible to guess what will happen. However the free plan explicitly states what the pricing will change to after a year, while the $15/month plan doesn’t say that prices will go up.
Will you signup for either of these dirt cheap Sprint plans?

I would like to to the free service option, but I need more Hotspot….
Any recommendations for Hotspot service?
I now pay $60 for unlimited with T-mobile
If I have sprint is there anyway I can take advantage of this deal? I’m paying a lot a month
leave and come back they usually will offer something like $100-300 to come back if you play your cards right
Of I can get the correct sim for Moto 4g play for free plan for daughter.
P.S. how does the global free global roaming work?
$15 gets you unlimted?
Yes.
But from what I read, people on the $15 plan will get their data slowed down during high traffic times. This deal is not a no-strings-attached offer.
Will t mobile phones work on this Sprint plan?
Depends which one.
From which carriers can I can over my own device and it should be compatible with Sprint?
Depends on the phone.
No I need phone service.
*After 6/30/19, pay $30 per month per line for lines 3-5
Look where the asterisk goes to.
the question for us is how does sprint compare service wise to Verizon? I left sprint years go for Verizon in lakewood because Sprint was terrible.
Sprint still sucks in a lot of spots in Lakewood, nothing to compare to VZW
sprint is far worse in Lakewood than (boro park) Brooklyn.
in certain areas of lakewood verizon barely works (eg sixth street between forest and lakewood ave. BMG area)
Any advice for those of us that have the free year plan that’s about to expire?
Signup for competing service under a spouse’s name and then switch to Sprint?
Make sure not to signup with a post paid plan so you don’t waste a pull for nothing
Hi, I’m on the Free year Sprint Plan – It should be ending very soon – any idea’s how i can hop onto this $15/month plan? Do you think if i switch today to another company(e.g. simple mobile) I can switch back to Sprint by tomorrow? Is this for new sprint customer’s only? Thanks!
Might be worth it to open a new account under the free plan via another family member/significant other if available. Port out to T-mobile, and port back in once you see the # shows up as available on their IMEI checker. Can be done same day, already done it myself last month.
At least for the free plan, they say you can’t have a previous account for something like 45 or 60 days, not sure if the same for the $15 plan….
Thank you!
Where do you read the 45 / 60 days wait? I was trying to find if there is a restriction? I’m planning to switch out from the free Sprint, 10 months, and switch back to Sprint in few days.
I have the same question, Dan, any input?
Dan, you should note that the 15 plan does not include Hotspot and only has sd streaming of video/games/music.
I did note the hotspot.
SD streaming doesn’t really matter on a phone IMHO.
Do you know if this applies to tablet plans as well? I tried to add it, but the price was $20/mo. Still a decent price, but not as awesome as $15 🙂
Are you sure the 15/month plan includes international roaming data? I didn’t see it clearly in the terms and I chatted with Sprint and they said it does not include it.
on the website it says global roaming included, not sure what that means, though
not the same as global warming, i presume
Sounds just like the global warming hoax. First rep said any calls data text anywhere in 120 countries is free even including Calls in Nepal Israel. India . 2nd Rep says roaming is free in few counties but there is charge for calls and text and super slow data. I like T-Mobile cos they offer true roaming and decent data too. Plus T-Mobile phones are quad and gsm works in many countries with their sim. Spint is not gsm
they always give 2g data roaming free
Would I be able to m,ake calls to/from- Israel? Canada?
I signed up for the free ok few months ago and have been very happy. The service has been even better than I thought it would be. My monthly bill has been $4 a month. Not getting too many points even with the 5x points on the Chase Ink card lol but I like only paying $4. My phone is one that’s unlocked and compatible with all the major US (and most overseas) carriers. I will only buy phones that have this going forward. I like being to able to jump on whichever promo is best at the time. I do live in a major metro area so I’m sure in more rural areas Spring isn’t as good service but for me it’s been great.
Which unlocked phone do you have that is compatible with all major US carriers?
Does Sprint do a credit check?
Does this mean you can buy any sprint phone on ebay and get free service for a year, and then cancel?
It seems you need to buy a SIM btw.
Sprint does a credit check
Sprint phones are not eligible. It has to be a compatible BYOD phone.
There is a list of eligible phones on their website
Yes, Experian in NY
Global Roaming is not completely free. 2G internet and texting is free while calling is 20 cents a minute both incoming and outgoing. Up to 4G speeds are $5/day.
How is this any different from Mint Mobile $15 prepaid plan?
Unlimited High Speed Data
It says unlimited, but I suspect Sprint is going to throttle you after 2gb. If you check under the terms and condition is says, “Video streams up to 480p, music up to 500 Kbps, gaming streams up to 2 Mbps.”
sprint told me you can receive calls from canada, cannot call to canada
could i use a basic phone or only a smart phone ?
For the free offer only a smartphone, there is a list on their website of phones that will be approved for the promotion
As long as it’s a Sprint compatible phone with a clean imei then it will work. The list of accepted phones are off phones that work on any service, but any Sprint phone shall work
So if I bring a flip-phone from verizon will I be able to use it in Israel if I live in the US on the free plan?
I have an at&t Locked iPhone is there anyway I could use it for sprint?
I signed up for 1 year free by sprint last year, now it will end, is there a way to switch to the $15 while i am by sprint? if not what’s the alternative?
Does anyone know which is the cheapest unlocked phone that would work for the free for year sprint promotion that I can buy and activate?
How much is taxes and fees on the free plan?
anybody knows how much exactly after taxes in ny
we dont have sprint or tmobile in alaska.. our google fi doesnt work either
Were you able to make it work as a former Google fi customer? Thank you 🙂
Dan, will the hard pull for signing up count towards 5/24?
No, only consumer credit cards do.
can i buy a prepaid AT&T phone and bring that number over to sprint to get this deal?
yes, that’s what I did last year.
The are plans for about the same price range available thru third party companies like Tello, etc. I currently pay $15 a month for unlimited talk and text with sprint service purchaced thru Tello and I’m very satisfied.
I’m late to the discussion, but I’m for this merger. Reason being – right now there are 2 wireless carriers that actually provide usable service, and with the merger there will be 3. This is one of the mergers that will actually be pro-consumer. Both T-Mobile and sprint are barely wireless carriers. I’ve used both, and the service is terrible, if usable at all. IMO, that’s the ONLY reason Verizon and ATT have been able to charge extortionary prices, because anyone that actually needs a phone that works reliably will sign up for their service no matter the price.

Cheapest way to do it is to get a google voice number and pay $3 to google to allow you to port the number. Then add a line to your sprint account and use the GV number. Buy a cheap phone from sprint or byod. Took me one day to do the above. I’m up and running. $15 a month 🙂
Unlimited data on Sprint is like getting an all you can eat buffet that serves only croutons. Wouldn’t go back to their network if they were paying me $15/mo to use it.
Any of you had a google fi account? How can you make it work when you are a google fi customer? Thanks!
