After you swap out the phone from Tello, open a chat with Tello and have them change the flag from PLBL to SPCS.
Except they won't do it by all reports.

I just activated a new unlocked moto g5 plus and ported out of republic wireless. Everything is working good. Is it possible for me to move my current sim to another unlocked device and use without calling sprint ?
No.
Activation on Sprint is by IMEI only, not by sim.​

Can anyone, please answer this? I have same exact question. Also, if I call them, will it be possible to get a new sim card and insert into my existing samsung sprint unlocked s6 phone?

No, you need the exact correct SPRINT sim card for your model.

You do not need a new card for a Sprint phone unless you have lost the original. You can use the one that is already in it. Sprint sims never expire.

If you have lost it, you can get a replacement locally. Make sure you get the exact correct sim for your model. Or $2.99 from Twigby. Then call in to activate.

However if your Sprint S6 was ever on a Sprint mvno, you will first have to flip the ownnership flag to SPCS to go back onto Sprint postpaid. Until you do so, you will not be able to activate.

Thanks for the quick response. I am on t-mobile mvno mintsim now. Is there any way to find the current ownership flag of it? Also, can I use the same sim card from Motorola g5 plus phone that is working with sprint?

For those of you that did Sprint referral with this plan early on, before Sprint issued that statement that said this plan didn't qualify, has anyone gotten any credit by chance? I was one of the early birds, and I see 3 referrals with a tag that says, "approved." The rest were denied. Just wondering if this means I'll be getting the referral credit.

Yes just test the IMEI in the Sprint offer eligibility checker. Sprint does not know it is active on Mintsim so that does not interfere with the result in this case.

Moto G5 sim would likely be different from S6 sim because they are very dissimilar but you can check the lists on Ting to get the sim needed for each. Sprint has about 30 different sim parts and they are generally not interchangeable - you have to have the right one for your model.

The IPhone 6s+ wasn't unlocked - contract will end two days later, but I also tried one unlocked AT&T IPhone 5s, it still couldn't plus eligibility check. Does this only good for Verizon phones/users? Thanks.

For the iPhone 5S, only the Verizon or Sprint model has the needed bands.
For.the unlocked 6S, all carrier models can work.

Got it. Thanks for your response. So if I unlock my IPhone 6+, I will be able to pass the eligibility test? Thanks will try a few days later and revert back.

Received $250 for referrals for own 5 lines, opened account at end of June. It should take 31 days to approve and less than two weeks to receive gc. Didn't try to refer others. When were your lines approved? Were these for referring others or for your own lines?

Really. Did you do it with the BYOD plan? I referred others. I also opened my line at the end of June. How do I know when they were approved? I just see when my referral was sent, and there is something that says "Valid until 2017-09-02" and other dates for the rest. Also, I thought it was $100 per referral back then?

Also, when you log into your referral account, does it show reward earned for each approved referral? What does it say? Mine says 0.

Yes I referred my wife for the free plan and received $250. The $100 referral per line expired sometime in May.

You should get an email from sprint when someone uses your referral and another one exactly 31 days from when the referrer open their account. The status updates on the website is not very good.
