Some people are still on the free Sprint Unlimited plan. It looks like people that still had active accounts as of late March have been extended until 6/30. It should show up in your online account, but if it doesn’t people are also having success calling/chatting to get the extension.

Doesn't look like this is getting another extension... so far anyway. Still shows a 6/30/20 end date. I was hoping they would put it off until the official name change to T-mobile and then offer us a decent price on a plan before the frugal people like me jump ship. I am going to miss $8/mo cell bills for two lines. Unlimited data is way overkill for my fam... we use like a couple of GB a month total, maybe 3 or 4 each if we are on vacay.
Unfortunately I saw this after I began porting my number to GenMobile (referral link: [removed]) which is a cheap provider. They work on Sprint's towers so no need for a SIM card purchase. I bought the $15/mo. plan that has 1gig of data sonce I use WIFI for most of my internet needs. So far they have been good but this Sprint Unlimited plan was incredible. I signed up for it last year and travelled for 10 months in Europe and S. America, never charged any additional fees while visiting about 20 different countries. I had good service the entire time and my monthly bill never exceeded $5/mo. Jump on this plan if it's available to you.
no referral link bruh
@will
Well this came a little too late. I just ported mine and P2's numbers over to a new service on 4/1. Oh well, the service was truly awful, but free is free.
Where do you see how long do we have this plan?
See my explanation....
Thanks
For those (like me) trying to figure out if you have been extended on the Sprint Unlimited Free plan;
- Login to the desktop site. (probably available on app too)
- Click My Account in upper right, & click change plan.
It will show:
$5/line/mo up to 5 lines. (up to $60/line value free with AutoPay until 6/30/20)
Requires $5 per line/per month AutoPay discount.
Savings until 6/30/20; then $60/mo. for line 1, $40/mo. for line 2 and $20/mo./line for lines 3-5 with AutoPay
- Close out of the webpage and rejoice you're getting reasonably OK cell service for 2 additional months for less than $5/mo/line.
Thanks for the heads up @will. I chatted with them last month to verify the end date of the promotion because I couldn't find it on my account. Based on that chat, I was expecting to pick a new service at the end of April.
Also, for those looking for the best deals in wireless, I ran across this website for comparison shopping the budget providers: https://bestmvno.com/
I am leaning toward Total Wireless or maybe Mint Mobile if the deal is right, but now will decide in June. My P1 & P2 are low phone data users, but if we are going to pay full price, it better work well when we do use it. And, I don't want to porting our numbers a few times a year...
Great find! Yep, my plan was set to expire 4/30. Now extended to 6/30 automatically. Plus the 20GB hotspot is a nice bonus again this month!
Thanks Gadget. Your information helps a lot.
I'm also a low phone data user and I use Freedompop prepaid plan which can be bought from Target. Some don't like the company on Slickdeals, but it works fine for me.
Looks like I'll have to return my Mint Mobile SIM card that I ordered from Best Buy to replace my Sprint FREE plan.
buying it from bestbuy was already a mistake! Topcashback pays 20$ for sign up
It was a special deal for 1/2 price or $30 off 3 months
Checked and found mine got extended automatically.
I can confirm this week a simple call extended our plan
I'm on their half price plan, considering to port my number to a minimal plan for emergency, because who wants the data anymore?
I don't need the data myself so I've been looking at switching from my free plan, luckily now don't have to worry until next month. There is a T-Mobile plan for this like $20/mo. It has to be done in store though so can't really do it now until it reopens, hopefully next month.
Extended after a phone call. Very nice of them.
