linguistmama Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Our contract with Sprint is finally ending and we would like to have a cheaper plan. Boost, Straightalk and Virgine Mobile all tell me I can't bring my iphone 5 to them. Any suggestions besides buying a new phone through one of those prepaid carriers?

Nemom Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Is Ting available in your area? They use Sprint towers and you can bring your iPhone 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatechip Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I second the suggestion for Ting. I have a 4S and it works great with Ting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguistmama Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 THANK YOU! We do have their coverage in our area and it should be much cheaper for the same network. Their website was fabulous too. I spent 15 minutes getting everything switched over for 2 phones. We had Virgin Mobile several years ago and we could never activate, pay etc on the website.

Hypatia. Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 We switched our Sprint iPhones to Ting, we've been very happy with it. I wish we had done it as soon as our contract ran out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilliums Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 How do you switch? Do you purchase their sim card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguistmama Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 You set up an account on their website and put in all the relevant info; phone number, Sprint account number etc. It is under the activation tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguistmama Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 DH and I installed the Viber app on our phones to make free calls and texts to each other. That will make the bulk of our texting and calling free since we won't have to pay for those minutes/texts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linguistmama Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 Our bill is HALF what it used to be with Sprint! :hurray: DH's was more because he can't use the wifi at work so he used more cellular data, but my bill was only $16.
