for a verizon iphone 7 which sim is required i bought the BYOD from best buy but does not seem to work
Sim cards ending in 436C(available at Apple store), 416C, 446C, or 506C(3 in 1 size)
You probably bought the one with upc760492041652 which has 3 sims in it but won't work on iphone 7.
Edit maybe the sim kit you bought will work. It supposedly has a 506C card.

I gather this can happen if your autopay falls through. So that is one thing you might want to check.

Currently I have 3 lines under this BYOD plan, If I port out to Verizon, can I signup again in few days with sprint under this promotion? Does Sprint consider me as a new account in this case?
Yes, you can have two more lines under this account for free. You can port them in at different times.

My wife is currently on ATT with a iphone 5s - looks according to the wiki to not be an eligible phone. Can I go buy an iphone 6 or 7 off ebay, swap it on ATT side then do the promotion? Does it need to be unlocked? certain IMEI? etc?

Thanks.

Any unlocked 6 or 7 that does not carry an obligation (previously unpaid device bill) will work.

I am trying to do what others have done with little success.

I bought an LG G6 at BB, canceled within first week by porting to TMobile, now trying to port back to Sprint under free plan but they say they can't because I have an existing account within last 45 days. One issue is they said that my balance must clear and they said it will clear in next cycle on Dec 23.

I was thinking of trying to activate it on a new account using a family member's ss# though I am sure my family member will not be thrilled. And if I do, won't that be an issue since my first name and my family's first name are different, when trying to port back from TMobile ?

Only iPhone 7 model A1660 will work on Sprint and all US carriers. The iPhone 7 model 1778 usually sold by att and tmobile corporate store(no CDMA) will not.

For iPhone 6 A1549 will work on Sprint but no band 41.
iPhone 6 A1586(sprint) has band 41.

For iPhone 6s both A1633 and A1688 will both work the same on Sprint. I think only difference is A1633 has band 30 which will help for Att.
Also iPhone 8 and X are like iPhone 7 with an all carrier model and a no CDMA model.

You also want unlocked unless you want to limit to sprint and no financial obligation
The phone you sign up with does not need to be active with phone number you're porting in.

Not true about iPhone 7. Also sprint lte band differences on iPhone 6.

Trying to buy this will remind you why you don't want to use Sprint even if it is free.
