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 LiterallyUnlimited :
For the iPhone SE, as long as it's unlocked, it should work on Sprint. All of them. The Verizon one, the AT&T one, the T-Mobile one...

If it's been active on Sprint before and just needs the MVNO flag flipped, contact me on Reddit.

If it's never been active on Sprint AND it's SIM unlocked (GSX report can confirm this), you need to contact a corporate store and ask them if they have DNA access to add unlocked iPhones to the database. You'll find one eventually. Corporate Service and Repair centers are way more likely to have them, but this is not a guarantee.

The non-Sprint SE does not support Band 41, but otherwise works fine. I activated my 16 GB Verizon iPhone SE on Ting CDMA just a few days ago. You NEED the right SIM card.
For me it did not go through the phone check on the SPRINT offer page. Before SPRINT I used this phone on ATT networks only.

I see here others are able to add it directly, but for me not sure why it gave that error my phone was not eligible. I remember in the earlier threads ( previous month ) it was mentioned due to the lack of band 41 , SPRINT does not qualify this phone as eligible.

Anyone got the error 'phone not eligible..' when they checked the IMEI ( iPhone SE A1662 ) on SPRINT offer page ?

this thread is filled with iphone SE questions. So confusing for SE users. Confused
Quote from Verniculous :
Sprint won't whitelist the Verizon iPhone SE.

"You need to give up. There is nothing a rep can do for you. The Verizon, TMobile and AT&T iPhone SEs cannot be whitelisted for use on Sprint. This is because they are a different model from the Sprint iPhone SE. The Sprint DMD does not have a way to allow the Verizon, TMobile and AT&T iPhone SEs onto the network."

"No rep can change that fact. You need to get a different phone if you want to be on Sprint. There is no way around this."
Seems like many here have proven you wrong.

It's either that the flag is flipped wrong, it hasn't been added, it's been flagged lost/stolen or it has an unpaid balance associated with an account. It should otherwise be eligible unless there's an issue with their BYOD checker page.

Thanks. Looking at the iPhone 5S or 5C, it looks like I would want to get a Verizon branded one? Or if I went for the 6 or 7 it would be Sprint? Do you know if the Sprint iPhone 5 would work? I don't see why only the Verizon version would.
I would get a Sprint phone for use on Sprint.

You probably need to have Sprint add the Imei to their database.

Apparently you don't or won't read this thread. Several people just in the last few pages have proven you wrong. I suggest you start at page 1. You'll find many many others

Do I have to buy the Sprint Sim cards, or can I use free ones like from the Apple store? Also, if I am on Ting, how would I go about getting on this deal?
If you are on Ting-Sprint then you have to port out to another carrier and then port into Sprint.

The iphone 6 a1549 lacks band 41 and is allowed on Sprint not sure why the iphone SE would not be allowed.

So I bought the iPhone SE with Verizon prepaid card in another thread, I have already made the jump to Sprint for 4 lines. It is still sealed in the box and I will likely return it after hearing it is missing Band 41. Is not having Band 41 a real deal breaker? What is the max speed one could expect without that band?

I must say I was impressed when I did a speed test on a few of my phones and had 120mbps here with Sprint in Columbus, Ohio. Best Tmo speed test I have had here is around 60mbps.

All of the amazing speed tests you see posted at /r/Sprint and on Sprint's own forums are very likely Band 41. It's not a deal breaker if you're not obsessed with speed. Any tower with decent backhaul is going to be able to deliver content to you very fast on Band 25 and Band 26, which the Verizon SE definitely has.

Was able to port in from T-Mobile prepaid to Sprint in less than 30 minutes. From the initial credit check to phone activation. I did purchase a BYOD sim card kit from my local Sprint store for 9.99. I used a Verizon Prepaid iPhone SE that was turned on for the first time with a Verizon postpaid sim, making it an unlocked phone to use on any carrier.
Where did you buy the Verizon postpaid sim?

I know you're quite definitive on this, but it seems strange that Sprint would list the iPhone SE on the list of eligible devices to port in with (with no qualifications beside it). Are they assuming people coming from competitors all have the Sprint version of the SE? That would make no sense.

Either you're wrong or the website is wrong.
