SORRY. THIS DEAL HAS EXPIRED. Nerd Vittles article with less appealing deal will be out on Monday.
You must have Sprint service in your neck of the woods to take advantage of this offer!!!
With a compatible Sprint or BoostMobile PrePaid Phone, here's what you get:
1,000 U.S. talk minutes every month FREE
1,000 U.S. text messages every month FREE
1 GB of non-roaming data every month FREE
Free SIP connection that uses your bucket of minutes (can be used on softphone, SIP phone, or as an Asterisk SIP trunk)
What does it cost? A $20 deposit with NO RECURRING CHARGES unless...
Your deposit will be used to offset the costs of these additional services
Calls outside the U.S. (e.g. Canada is 3 cents/min.)
MMS messages @ 4 cents each
Overages in calls, messages, or data
WARNING: The following steps MUST be done in order or you will end up not being able to use the phone!!
Obtaining a Phone
Run, don't walk to your nearest Radio Shack or Best Buy or WalMart NOW
Purchase a Sprint or BoostMobile Prepaid Phone (we have tested with $50 LG Tribute and $130 LG Stylo shown above)
BEFORE opening the box, verify the MEID (on bottom of box) at this link: http://nerd.bz/nvringplus
If it flunks, return the phone unopened for a refund
Setting Up Your Account
Sign up for a RingPlus Don Budge account before 3 p.m. EST tomorrow (Saturday, 2/6)
Enter your MEID (DEC) and ICC ID when prompted
Pay your $20 deposit
Log into your account and choose Manage Device
Write down your MSID (it's also your phone number) and MSL
Setting Up Your Phone
Only after you have a phone number showing Active, unbox and turn on your phone
Go through the basic setup by choosing Language and activating a WiFi network connection
A PRL update will be pushed to the phone automatically and phone will reboot
Check in Settings -> General -> About Phone -> Status and see if you have a phone number
If not, open the Phone app and enter: ##72786# and dial. Phone will reboot and you'll get another PRL update
Recheck for phone number and you should be good to go.
