you can not use Boost moto E4.
I removed Equipment protection online (2 days after signup). I am wondering whether I would still be charged for 1 month of service ($13) for my first bill?

call them and tell them and have them take the protection and caller id off your lines. you should not be charged anything, if you are charged, call and have them credit the charge.
We have had no service issues since switching over and the switch over took about 25 minutes.
For instance - activated two Moto G5 Pluses, brought two lines over, activated super fast - great job, Sprint.
My G5 Plus seemed to have a defective earpiece, so I looked to use an unlocked iPhone that had previously been active on Virgin Mobile. For ANY OTHER CARRIER, the process goes like this:
Remove SIM from current phone and place in iPhone.
For Sprint, it started in the online portal. Then went to a chat (10 minutes). Then to a phone call (15 minutes). Then I was told they couldn't activate my unlocked, full priced iPhone because it was on some Sprint prepaid list. They would never be able to activate, no matter what, on Sprint postpaid. What?!?
So, because the earpiece was still broken, I purchased a used LG V20 from eBay for about the same price as the G5. Again, tried to activate in the online portal and got a different error message. This went to a chat (5 minutes) where problem was solved.
I also didn't realize I'd be unable to change the phone number on my line. Rather, you can change the number, but you are unable to transfer a number from another service onto the line. It's OK, just something to consider.
This is all to say it is a free/low cost service, but if things go wrong know Sprint's CS really is bad. If the hope is for all of us to continue being Sprint customers when the year is up they've got some work to do. Also - service is a lot spottier than ATT/Cricket and a lot slower than T-Mobile. Nothing new to report. Maybe things will improve this year. It's saving me about $800 for my two lines this year, so I'm appreciative of that.
Editing to add:
Roaming is fairly useless. I use Google Voice for my main number and I can't even send/receive texts when roaming.
Hotspot works great! Thanks Sprint.
Call quality is generally quite good, but not having data while on a call feels very old school.
The V20 is a beast and a great buy at current prices.

Get a free upgraded SIM and new line today.
I'm guessing it's my old CDMA sim and I don't know where that is. I also have the GSM but both data networks were 3G and unsuitable for voice last I checked. Life in the MVNO lane is never boring.
