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 svsfan :
Get a google voice number and unlock for $3. Set voicemail pin in legacy view on desktop site to use as account pin.

If the sprint iPhone is not active on sprint line it should work.

Enter sprint iPhone imei and GV number or any other non sprint mvno number into eligibility checker to verify that it works.

It it doesn't work then the phone possibly has mvno flag attached to it.
Thank you so much. That worked beautifully. I now have a Sprint iPhone SE activated for the year. Much appreciated.

1) Thanks. I assume 'couldn't use' ... for SWAP? THAT is useful information.

2) Thanks. https://sickw.com/ says: "Service: SPRINT USA CLEAN/STOLEN ⇒ Price: 0.05$
Checks the ESN/IMEI/MEID status for Phones purchased from SPRINT USA." Min recharge is $20.

did you choose the free one near the bottom? It says $0.05 but it's really free

just put imei in the box and click on the pink box and it will tell you if its clean or not

my boost iPhone SE says UNPAID BILLS

my sprint unlocked one says CLEAN&ACTIVE

Umm, checked w/ https://sickw.com/, the result of my old phone is "CLEAN & ACTIVE".

However, Sprint phone check is still giving a message:
"Sorry, but this device can't be activated with Sprint service. Try another device, or Shop for a new device."


Yes, it's must be the MVNO flag. And, yes...Sprint want me to buy their new phone. Frown

For me, https://sickw.com insists on charging 0.05$ for "FREE-SPRINT USA LOST?STOLEN CHECK" Confused Did you have to pay? What am I doing wrong? Tried FF and IE.

Just go to the 7th line (from the bottom), you 'll see: FREE - SPRINT USA CLEAN/STOLEN. And, punch in your IMEI. It says $0.05, but I didn't pay...!!!

I and a couple of other people are asking if these 'Prepaids' are eligible for swap after the free line is set up.
Not unless they were on Sprint prepaid/boost/vm for sufficient time to clear the FED or if you paid an unlocker to clear the FED.

Both the FED must be cleared and the ownership flag must be set to SPCS.

Thank you both svsfan and Cheapieee.
I figured it out with your help. When I put the MEID in decimal format it thinks that is a 'SN' and wants to charge $0.05. I converted it to MEID (Hex) and that worked.

For both Sprint prepaids Moto E2 and LG Tribute Duo it says: CLEAN&ACTIVE. Ting and Swappa checked out OK.
Does that mean I ashould be able to swap these into existing 1YFBYOD? Do I have to change its status to 'inactive'? Not sure how. These were on R+ which is no more.

Thank you.There is a discussion going on about how do you check if it has cleared FED?
Does passing sickw. with 'CLEAN&ACTIVE' + Ting OK, + swappa OK > mean it has passed FED?
What else can you do to verify it has passed FED? These phone were grandfathered in R+ 'pre-FED' if that matters.

As I noted earlier, even LiterallyUnlimited worship can not change flag for Sprint prepaids.

It probably needs mvno flag flipped. Contact literally unlimited on Reddit for help.

Sorry guess you've tried.
