How Do I Switch My Cellphone Provider to Sprint?
If you're new to the T-Mobile marketplace and want to switch to Sprint, you're not completely out of luck. Sprint has merged with T-Mobile, so if you sign up you'll receive the same excellence that new T-Mobile customers receive. You can switch online, call customer service or visit your closest T-Mobile store and you're guaranteed to get the best service.
Originally founded in 1899, Sprint was one of the first telecommunications companies, and it has gone through many changes during its history. The most recent change was a merger with T-Mobile that was completed April 1, 2020 and this change has two ending results. First, any current customers are redirected to T-Mobile's website when they try to visit Sprint's website. Secondly, potential new customers wanting to sign up to Sprint now must do so with the new company. This guide will show you what T-Mobile has to offer and how to sign up.
Some Features and Benefits
First, T-Mobile is considered America's biggest and fastest 5G network and has dedicated itself to employees and customers. Also, there are no hidden fees; the price you pay includes them and any taxes. The website states that this company is dedicated to its communities through disaster relief and renewable energy. It also is dedicated to improving its products and services.
T-Mobile has its share of recognition. You will find nothing but positive words said about this company by the likes of J.D. Power, Newsweek, Glassdoor, Forbes, Fortune and the Human Rights Campaign and that's just to start. J.D. Power has recognized T-Mobile 17 times as the number one provider of wireless full-service, customer-care in the United States.

The Switch to T-Mobile
Like many other wireless communication companies, you have many ways to switch. You can bring your own compatible device, browse the latest Samsung and iPhones or look for the biggest deals the website offers. There's financing for the latest devices for those who qualify and checking if you do won't hurt your credit score. You can even shop at the nearest store if you're more into doing so.
When you are ready to switch, visit T-Mobile's website and click on the Phones and Devices tab, then click on the option that's best for you: cellphones, 5G phones or bring your own. If you buy a new phone you can check to see if you can transfer your number or opt in for a new number. The website will even give you an option to schedule an appointment with the closest store in case you want to receive your purchase sooner. T-Mobile makes it easier, pick your phone then pick a plan to match.
