how do i go about activating after receiving the sim card from Sprint?

I assume it's this link to activate:
https://www.sprint.com/en/shop/br...ation.html

but when i enter my order number and zip code it says invalid. Confused

FYI i'm trying to port my number from mintsim to this free plan.

answered:
I was using the wrong activation link, this is the right one:
sprint.com/activatenow

There is no "no IMEI/MEID swap" rule.

There is a "no Sprint upgrade" rule which refers to people looking to take advantage of Sprint marketing upgrade offers on special terms.

Just swap it on your Dashboard which will usually invoke help from tech. support chat. All / many of us do them all the time. Make sure you have a sim in the new phone that matches the part number it needs.

This assumes that Sprint was in no way involved with the phone you bought including a Sprint sponsored program at a retailer offering financing.

i'm referring to this page:
https://www.sprint.com/content/sp...nsfer.html

entered my details, checked the "terms read" box and now page is stuck on transferring (yellow bars are moving), not timing out or anything.

It's often seconds if porting in from a major carrier and up to days from VOIP numbers but you do not use that form. You give them your port-in info when signing up. If you want to add another line you have to call 866-782-8777 on this offer. Or are you trying to port in on top of your original ported-in number?

If you just duplicated the info you gave them before that's fine and should not be a problem.

Call in to expedite the port-in. They will check status and work on calling the other carrier if they are open.

The wiki states that for the moto E4 I should order the SIMOLW416Q SIM. Would I order the same SIM for the E4 plus?

$2.99 at twigby.com which is a better deal anyway. (Just order by phone name at Twigby and they look up the sim and send it).

Just want to say that everything went smoothly! Perfect timing too as I was in need of a new service line after Sprint eliminated their Google Voice integration which left me no choice but to port my phone number and close a SERO account in the process. Thanks again for Comintel for the help!

I ended up going to the local Sprint store, and they sold me a three-pack for $3. That definitely beat buying one from their telesales and having to wait until it arrived to complete the account making process.

Good deal.
Stores are highly variable though as to price and a few will not sell them at all.

At first I was concerned because twigby had a different part number for the moto e4+ then the wiki (SIMGLW416Q vs SIMOLW416Q) but the link that you provided stated that
SIMGLW416Q is the primary Part # and as the SIMOLW416Q as a Secondary Part #. So, I guess they are equivalent and everything is ok.

You continue to amaze me with all the help you have provided -- Thanks
