I'm pretty happy with the LTE here. No issue watching youtube. I'm unlimited data but have not tested the 23 gig secret cap.

Asking because I was told that MVNO flag can not be reset for PREPAID phones. Can you give me name of Sprint rep who helped flip flag.
2) You were able to SPEAK with FP? They say you have to pay $5 for phone support. Can you give me FP support phone No.
Weeks after porting out my FP number, the device should be 'inactive'. When I try to swap that into Sprint it shows 'active' somewhere; so they can not add to database. It was on R+ before FP. FP insists that it is 'not active' but it does still show in my FP account. I need to have them release the device do I can have it added to Sprint database.
Thanks
1) Had used my nexus 6 previously on ringplus, so it did not pass the eligibility test. The MVNO flag had to be reset.
2) 06/23 Went to sprint community and sent PM to Sprint representative who had helped someone with similar kind of problem. I shared my IMEI and he created a 'click it ticket'
3) In the meanwhile called freedompop support and got the account and PIN number to be used during port
4) 06/26 afternoon checked the eligibility of the phone and it passed. Ordered the SIM, didnt face any issue with credit check.
5) 06/27 afternoon got the SIM and activated it. The activation went smooth, got the confirmation email which says the phone should be active in the next 10 mins.
6) Waited till 6 pm and saw that the port was not complete. As suggested by SDers here contacted the number in the wiki for porting.
7) The sprint rep was friendly, he asked whether the number was a GV or FreedomPop one, i promptly said it was FP. He said the port is in progress and will take 2 more days and he can push it right away if i want. I said yes, and the port was done within a minute and he said to check after 10 mins
8) Phone activated, get around 10 Mbps down
Thanks for your help SDers

I'd considered something like that but I would like to keep my current mobile # after going to Sprint. I have no idea how I'd go about that if I port and activate a different number while my main number stays behind on Verizon.
Porting directly from Verizon would terminate the line and incur an ETF unless I managed to somehow change the number after the port request but before porting completes. If that were somehow successful the Verizon line would still be dead weight since my main # would be with Sprint (and you can't AOL a Verizon line to someone else within 30 days of changing your number).
Or I'd have to port a different number to Sprint from something like Google Voice while continuing to use my main mobile # on Verizon - in that case it would be a major headache (or perhaps impossible?) to get my main # to my Sprint line after my VZ contract expires. Hypothetically I'd have to do something like this:
1) move current GV # to a secondary Google account
2) create a new temp GV # for main Google account
3) sign up for Sprint promo, port temp GV # in
4) keep using Verizon with main mobile # until contract expires
5) make sure I use newly activated Sprint phone enough to avoid line being closed
6) after Verizon contract expires in mid-Oct, port my main mobile # to GV on main Google account
7) then somehow port mobile # from GV to my active Sprint line (is this even possible??)
8) move old GV # back to main Google account
That seems way too complicated and I'm probably overlooking or unaware of a number of issues.
If there isn't any way to avoid my Verizon ETF or somehow get it covered by an intermediate carrier/MVNO, then my only hope is probably to port my main # to GV then to Sprint while changing my Verizon number, convert the line to a cheap loyalty plan, then AOL the line to someone after 30 days (required waiting time after changing a number).
I thought Sprint phones are eligible for this promo, unless it was used for sprint mvno (and need to register with sprint database). I am getting conflicted info here....

This deal may be open to Sept. 30 but of course they could close it out earlier if they wanted to.
I doubt anybody is going to pay off your ETF except with a long term contract. Who knows, you can try.
Google Voice could work but I do not think you want to change your number after taking up this offer. That might cancel the plan. If anyone wants knows otherwise, please post.
Thank you! I thought so too and so I ordered postpaid sprint version of lg v20. It is coming tomorrrow and hopefully it will be smooth transfer.
