Quote from comintel :
(1) Just do a device IMEI swap online yourself in the Dashboard after verifying that the new phone IMEI shows as eligible in the Sprint tester (or you can try swapping even if it does not). Or get tech. support chat to help. Do not call Telesales (8777 number) for this is they are preoccupied looking for commissionable upgrades - this is not an upgrade but to a hammer (Telesales), everything looks like a nail (an "upgrade") so it is best to deal with tech. support only on IMEI device swaps,

Be sure you have the correct sim for the 6p. Sprint has about 30 different sims for different devices and you have to have the exact correct part number.

(2) The Moto X Pure will automtically be released when you do step (1) above and it can be activated on new account (or the same account anew).. You need to port in a number but the phone does not need to associated with the number prior to use here. The phone can be activated from inactive state directly.
Thanks, I just have a few questions. I have sim card SIMGLW446C for the nexus 6p, would that work? Also when I do the IMEI swap would I take out the sim card from my moto x (SIMOLW506C) and put it in the nexus and then use 446C when I activate the moto x back in or would I just put the 446C in the nexus 6p when IMEI swapping and then use the sim card in the moto x originally to activate it back in.
Thanks again!

No, no, you have to buy a new 506c for your Nexus.

Really, 446c does not work for the nexus 6p? I read on a few sites that 446c works for the nexus, and even for the moto x pure. Oh well, it was free anyway. Thanks

You are correct the 446C and 506C should work for the nexus 6P and moto X pure.

Others have answered re the part numbers.

As to the sims, why swap sims at all? Since both phones will end up in service again, you need two sims total and you can just leave them in the phones they are in once both have sims in them. That is the most normal way on Sprint. Activation is primarily by IMEI on Sprint. Everythinhg is recorded by IMEI. Sim ICCID is secondary, totally unlike other carriers which I think you are more used to. I think you are thinking of other carriers where you can move the sim between phones and have the service follow without updating anything on the carrier's records. You can never do that on Sprint. On the plus side, you do not have to touch the sim when moving from one mvno to postpaid to another mvno etc. on Sprint. All Sprint mvno's sim cards are interchangeable across Sprint MVNOs and they never expire, and you never have to buy a new sim card for an existing phone to move it.

That is the way Sprint normally suggests doing it. But if you really want to swap sims for some reason, you can, but it will not help in any way.

To swap phones online, just enter the new IMEI and the new sim ICCID.

Use the model number and serial number as found under your phone settings. If the correct Samsung drivers are loaded onto your PC, it should automatically detect your phone when connected to the PC. See below for details:

Has anyone tried to use their phones internationally? The signup website says "Sprint Global Roaming" is included but it doesn't show under services on my account. I'm heading overseas in a couple of weeks and would like to try it out if it won't cost me an arm and a leg in roaming charges.

Sprint Global Roaming is included. I have tried it in Russia, Qatar, Mexico, and Canada; but, a few people have reported that they are getting charged, so I would call Sprint to confirm that Global Roaming is properly set up on your account before you travel. I used mostly the free texts and checking emails OTG with the 2G data. The 2G data is a hit and miss for light web browsing, even with data optimization turned on on the browser, depending on whether the website is AMP optimized.
