Do we know when the sim free version will be released?
Thanks
The iPhone X from Best Buy is SIM free (always check the part number MQAxxLL/A printed on the box to verify, depending on color and storage size; also, there is no ICCID printed on the box for SIM free) but subjects to the US Reseller Flex Policy. Just use a postpaid Verizon SIM (inactive is fine) to activate it with the Apple server (this is device activation, not the same as service activation) so that it's permanently SIM unlocked because Verizon does not lock its postpaid 4G LTE device. I believe the same applies for iPhone X from Target and Walmart.

I will go out on a limb and say that, there is no need for a Sim Free version; Here's why:
4. Went to my Sprint account, went through the initial steps of switching device for one of my lines; entering iPhone X IMEI; Looked like it would go through; I didn't complete it though (because I want to retain my current device on that number).
I am waiting for someone to successfully swap and use iphone X on BYOD plan.

Have a question about upgrades and leasing. I'll be good on 12/1 to do so. Was looking at the Iphone 8. I want to leave after the free year is up. I understand you have to pay the rest of the lease payments and device purchase to keep it. Do you still get the discounted lease payments if you leave early or does it go away. I wanted to get a deal on a new phone but not be stuck with sprit after the free year is up.

Others can chime in, but I think you're much better off to buy your Iphone from Apple (full price, financed, or upgrade program), and enjoy your free year without obligation.

Well there offering $350 off with a trade in. Was going to trade in a IPhone 6. If I can still get the full discount when I leave that only comes out to about $400 which is much cheaper then the full $699 retail price.

Quote from macrokelvin :
You have to ask Sprint (preferably their tech support team, who are more knowledgeable) to add the ESN/IMEI to their device management database (DMD). May take several attempts/calls. Tell Sprint it's an open market or special edition S8+ (another term for universal unlocked phones in their book). Don't mention AT&T to them. Ask them not to run the ESN/IMEI checker to check for eligibility. The DMD will take any ESN/IMEI (manually enter) even if it has AT&T identifier on it because the DMD does not have carrier identifier filter. Not everyone at Sprint has the login credential to access the DMD, so they might have to create a ClickIT ticket for someone with the login credential to enter the ESN/IMEI. Then you have to flash the firmware to XAA. You can also mix and match the firmware files such as XAA/XAA/SPR, XAA/SPR/SPR, etc. You may have to do manual programming to activate if hands-free OTA activation does not work, depending on the firmware files you used.
Does your phone work 100% o sprint? Your phone seems to be missing bands 38 and 41, or at least have those bands turned off. Did your firmware turn these bands on?? I like the idea of putting one of my Galaxy's on Sprint, but without high speed LTE its a waste.


Quote from edog11 :
You have better luck than me. I tried click it ticket, 2 different tech support reps(in Oklahoma city), and 2 different corporate stores and all didnt add my 935V(verizon s7edge). When they bring up imei it somehow tells them verizon model.
This wasnt for free plan but sprint sero back in april.
Same question for you as well. Unless you have some of the LTE bands turned back on (if possible on carrier branded phones), otherwise you will be stuck in 3G or slowest 4G speed, no??

Would love to know, as I have 2 VZW S6 edges that I wanted to switch, but because of antenna "incompatibility" bought my wife an S8 from samsung epp (great deal, I just don't like the curved screen again, and the lack of a proper case for such curves, not to mention extra deductibles for screens). I've resorted for a discounted moto G5 plus from walmart until a BF deal comes along, just so I could get off of VZW now. . .

You don't get $350 right off. It will be credited over 18 months. So if you want a full $350 value, you have to stay with sprint for 18 months. Then if you want to keep the phone, you pay $250.

You don't need to wait for an upgrade because I don't see anything different than without upgrade option. You are still paying full price for the phone.

What happens if you leave after 9 months? I know you have to pay the rest of the payments off but do you lose the discount?
