My daughter has an old iPhone 5s that has failing battery. Can I buy an unlocked iPhone 7 from Apple store and swap one of my phones and still keep the free plan? Thanks
yes, it won't be a problem.

Don't do anything in store with this account, even upgrade. It seems like the only safe upgrade paths once you're eligible are Sprint telesales, Sprint online, or through Apple. At least, those are the only successes that have been reported so far, AFAIK.
I chatted with a rep, she stated that if we purchased from sprint, then we "can't" keep the free plan. Only if we buy from apple, then we can keep the free plan. Can anyone confirm this?

I have an iphone 6 that is unlocked (previously on ATT) that I am currnetly using with T-mobile. When I entered my phone number and IMEI of phone, sprint tells me that my phone is not eligible. Did someone face similar problem? Is there a way out?

Also, I got the sprint sim form apple store but when I tried to activate it, the sprint rep told me that it is not compatible with iphone 6s that I want to use it with. Do I have to get specific sim card for iphone 6s? Can I get that from apple store? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,

I didn't buy the X through Sprint. I bought it through Apple. I just did a device swap on one of my new free lines (just opened last week). No issues after the swap, still on the free plan.

I wanted to upgrade my 2nd line to an X through Sprint and use the trade-in deal, since my account shows both lines as upgrade eligible. But since the account is only 7 days old, I'm worried that I'll lose the free plan.

look like the phone has been used on a sprint prepaid network before, so that could be the reason.

Don't do it. Upgrade Eligible in that case means eligible as long as it changes to a Paid Plan.

Specific SIM needed listed 2 posts above. . Apple store likely has it, but you have to ask for and verify the specific SIM part # (they often bring out the wrong one even after you specify).

My situation was a little convoluted. I had a paid Sprint account when I ordered. I activated on that line, and then I ported out and back into a free account the next day. I initially had issues activating the X on the free account but those issues resolved themselves within 24 hours (and I think were just general activation issues with Sprint).
