Guess they are finally valuing their service quality at zero dollars!! Having unfortunate experience of being a sprint customer, I wholeheartedly concur with the valuation of their service.

Hi! I have ten specific questions that only pertain to my individual circumstances. I epitomize laziness and my sense of entitlement is impervious to reason. Therefore it is the responsibility of anyone and everyone who reads this to find the answers to my questions.

Thanks. My current sim ending 436C, according to WIKI, it's no good for G5. Now I have the phone, but have to look for sim.
The Boost kit has SIMOLW416Q + SIMOLW506C + SIMOLW506TQ SIM cards inside.​

Essential phone Sprint users. New OTA update NMK24B. All current security patches and LTE fix for those with the band 41 issue.
I knew they would come through. Works great!
What is the LTE problem that needs to be fixed?

Well first, the issue was not fixed. I thought it was.
It's a problem with Band 41 LTE towers where no upload occurs. As a result if your area is effected you must use CDMA 3G only.

The T-Mobile SIM from eBay doesn't include an activation code; isn't that needed, even for the Pay As You Go plan?
Call Tmobile and they can activate it for u

Two questions:

I have an old iphone 6s sitting here with no current service. Whats the cheapest/easiest way to get it activated on a new # so i can port it over?

I want a new ipad, our kids ipad is so old it only works on verizon (i think? Ipad 2.) I imagine i just buy an unlocked ipad, but again, whats the cheapest/easiest way to get it a new "#" (its not technically a phone) so i can port it over?

Different people want the TMobile account/number/sim for different purposes and I have lost track of exactly what people are looking for in the current dialogue, but for those just looking for a number to port in, searching on "tmobile number for porting: in Ebay can get you just a number (no sim needed) for $3.95

Few sellers on eBay giving new TMo numbers for porting -- search eBay for "t-mobile number port"

iPad doesn't work on free plan -- need to pay for a tablet plan

No tablets can be added to this plan (except for $20 a month or whatever it is). They screen on imei and there is no workaround. The Wiki is out of date on that.

For the iPhone, you can just search on "tmobile number for porting" on eBay.

Oh sorry JaTaN already covered this.

Is it true that you can stick your unlimited data sim in this and use the unlimited data for home wifi without it counting as hotspot? Not much info on the web about it but from what I have read it works with sprint because sprint sees it as a phone and not a hotspot?

Sprint activates and recognizes devices by IMEI not by sim ICCID so I doubt it. Sprint wants to see the registered IMEI or it will not accept it. And the IMEI must be pre-listed on your DashBoard and it will not allow you to change that on the DashBoard to anything except the IMEI of a compatible and approved device.

Adding to what @Comintel said... even if you could do that, I think Sprint may cancel the line for inadequate use. I'm not sure how they judge this, but you won't be able to use minutes nor texts on this, so.....that would seem as inadequate use to me.

Here I am reading the wiki, telling me that its fine to use an ipad...but anyways, for $20 a month I can get unlimited data for a new ipad? How do I go about doing this - I have to buy an ipad, connect it to some other service, then "port" it over? What service would I connect it to?

And If I don't want to port a used random T-Mobile number from ebay, but want to get a new one in my area code, what is the cheapest/easiest way to do so?
