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.

I put the sim in called and added the Xfinity Note 8 with no problems. Auto updated to all the Sprint stuff and seems to be working fine. 👍
Perfect - that's what I thought might happen.

Is there a list of recommended phones that have all sprint bands.
Check the wiki. Popular inexpensive models are Moto e4, G4, g5 plus.
All Nexus/ Google phones.
Any previously pospaid Sprint phones.

EBay has LG v20 sprint phones for 150. Is that a good choice for a phone with all the sprint bands?

Sorry but I'm asking cause it's not on the list?

Just noticed that the rep that added my other line today added the $13 insurance inspite of my emphatically telling her no several times.

No that won't work for an Iphone 6. It is kinda off sneaky because says 3 in1 but it is just one sim that is cut for 3 different sizes.
You can get free sprint sim(simglw436c) for iphone 6 at apple store.
Best buy sells a byod kit with 3 sim cards in it(simolw506c,simolw416Q,simolw506TQ) for $9.99. This kit actually includes the one you linked but also includes 2 other sim cards.
This sim card kit has cards for most recent sprint devices so if you switch to a different phone you won't need to purchase another sim.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/boos...Id=5887020
Twigby also has sprint sim cards for $2.99.
If you want to go ebay route or other sources for iphone 6 sim you need to look for sim models simglw436c, simolw506c, or simolw416c.

Some seem to be adding it to all lines routinely and sometimes forgetting to change that when the customer asks otherwise.

I had one, the other day, volunteer, unprompted, right at the very end, "Oops I added the Insurance but I just remembered you said you did not want it. I promise we will get it taken it off right away." .

I took no chances and took it off myself right after anyway.

Yeah they really push it. I used to recommend telling them you have Squaretrade but seems like they add it anyway.

No good reason (although they fo have stupid lies and rationalizations that I prefer not to repeat). They want to insure your phone even if it is is BYOD to make big commissions on the windfall profits! Everyone needs to check their Dashboard and remove it online or by billing chat if it is there.

Does anyone know if the Amazon version of the Moto phones would work with this promotion? Do phones not on the list work? Could I buy a used sprint branded LG V20 with a clean ESN on ebay and get it to work?

Edit:
I think I found my answer searching the thread so I am going to give this a try.

Theoretically yes re the Amazon Moto, provided it says in the Amazon listing that it works on all U.S. carriers, and many people got them to work. However for 2 or 3 people recently buying an unlocked Moto E on Amazon, the IMEI's were rejected by Sprint, which said they were international versions. Those were not Amazon branded though. I think the Amazon branded ones have still been ok.

Sprint LG V30 should be ok if it is originally from Sprint postpaid (not Boost etc). If it has been on a Sprint mvno you may have to get it pushed back to postpaid by LiterallyUnlimited. Also in full disclosure one person could not recently get some other Sprint model accepted although I have got 3 unlisted Sprint models accepted including a Dura XT flip phone. It may depend on the rep. Swapping on may work if the rep. will not do it.
