Guess they are finally valuing their service quality at zero dollars!! Having unfortunate experience of being a sprint customer, I wholeheartedly concur with the valuation of their service.
Can I cancel after the first year?
Hi! I have ten specific questions that only pertain to my individual circumstances. I epitomize laziness and my sense of entitlement is impervious to reason. Therefore it is the responsibility of anyone and everyone who reads this to find the answers to my questions.

Quote from ArtVanderlay :
So if it's a boost phone that passes FED, which my tribute hd does since it previously was on ringplus and now on tello, then it CAN be swtiched over to SPCS?
Yes, if it still passes FED. There are three separate issues here: FED, MVNO flag, and Boost unlocking policy. You have to satisfy the first two (FED and MVNO flag). If you need domestic SIM unlock for use on other carriers such as the iPhones, you have to satisfy all three (FED, MVNO flag, and Boost unlocking policy).

So in theory LiterallyUnlimited should be able to switch the flag on boost phones too as long as they pass FED.

BTW, OT but did anyone ever figure out how to unlock and root the tribute hd?

Wasn't crazy about this phone at first but it's really grown on me. Love how thin and light it is, heckuva deal for $20.

I have two Motorola E 2nd Gens on Ting. I want to buy two Motorola E4's from Amazon for this deal. How do I go about porting the numbers over for this deal and use the new E4's?

How can you verify you are on the right plan? All I see is "unlimited -brop" and no details
I think brop is a typo for byop (bring your own phone), maybe? You can also check your plan using the My Sprint app as pointed out by hodaddy.

I don't know. You may have to ask him. He probably has limited access to Sprint tools, depending on his position with Ting and Ting's contract with Sprint because he says he doesn't have access to DNA2 either, which is used to add Apple IMEI.

Is there suppose to be an activation fee? From the looks of the OP and several, there doesn't seem to be it but I got hit with a $30 activation fee in my first bill.

LG Tribute (LS676) works. Just ask Sprint to change the PLBL flag to SPCS. It's already in the database.
.
Thanks for your responses. I tried opening an account and adding 4 lines - and none of my IMEIs worked. They are Sprint compatable phones that I had previously used in Sprint MVNO. Tried 4 different person, but Sprint tech keep saying phone is locked/incompatible etc. and best they can do is submit a ticket to their team, I don't think its going anywhere. I activated one line with a buddy's AT&T iPhone thinking it might allow to switch IMEI later but still, noone isable to switch PLBL flag to SPCS. PM'd LiterallyUnlimited this morning, but looks like he is in vacation. No luck at all Frown

Just did a chat and they said it will be credited in 2 bills. I just checked and it said exactly that in their terms. I guess some reps just credit immediately instead of the wait. No big deal. So my actual monthly bill is slightly around $9 in fees and taxes. Not bad.

What phones are you swapping? Some phones require specific SIM cards or do you have the universal one in the BOYD sim kit?
