Can you check with Sprint 1 year free checker? I checked my Verizon of Iphone X, which is eligible for 1 year free. BTW, when you received your Verizon, did you activate your phone with a Verizon SIM (even a SIM without service)? If you accidentally used different carrier, it will lock your Iphone X to that particular carrier.

No they do not (up to the maximum number of lines for which you were originally approved, which is usually 5).

It's really weird. I've had my account less than a month, and all of my phones show eligible for an upgrade in my Sprint.

The agreement says you can upgrade after 120 days which is the same thing.

Mine were like that too originally but it is just a display error in my opinion.

This poster wasn't clear, they could have bought the sprint version. I purchased the verizon version (which is the same) but they are saying its locked to verizon which is BS.
Is Verizon is still automatically unlocking all fully-paid-for phones? I am not sure, just asking. I thought I heard they may have been some changes in that policy....but I could be mixing up something else.....

thank you. If we upgrade, no problem with free plan . If adding a line, additional line has to be on paid plan, right?

If a new line is already fully paid for and you own the phone outright, it is still free to add it.

But if you want to take advantage of a Sprint phone pricing offer, yes you are right.

Wtf, can't activate iPhone 10 on Sprint from Verizon even though I paid in full. They are saying it locked which is not true (paid in full + verizon doesn't lock their phones). Spoke to another rep who said it's because i'm on the one year free plan which doesn't support the iPhone X yet...
You can get an Apple GSX report on Ebay for $1 which will show if the phone is locked or not. It may also show somewhere in device settings.

I'm sure Verizon is not locked. I confirmed. But I can't understand why sprint can't activate my Verizon issued iPhone X.
