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.

Quote from edog11 :
The text issue make sure iMessage is on.You can try that #3 as LTE is controlled by apn and sim card. Also the 5s doesn't have band 41 but has band 25,26 so should still get LTE.One time I had to shutoff and reseat sim then it started working,
I guess last resort would be to reset the phone.
I tried step 3 but my iPhone 5s does not have the "Profile" menu... what should I do?

Also, yes the iMessage is on. It's weird that when I iMessage from iPhone 6s+, it is 'green' (on the screen of iPhone 6s+). But I just tried to iMessage from another phone (iPhone 6s), and it is 'blue' as how normally it's show when iMessage between iPhones. I can't figure why...

Both the landing page and BYOD checker page have been update to reflect the new 7/31/19 date. Doesn't mean you should dilly dally, but at least now you should have some time to pick up a used device from ebay.

Exactly.
The crucial thing now to remember is that THIS OFFER MAY END AT ANY TIME.

But all those who subscribe today or after today should get a NEW UNTIL date, 7/31/19!

Again:
Those new subscribers who get on this free BYOD plan today or after today check for a Sprint welcome email that should state the new UNTIL date, AND the offer END date just like the email in this post and let us all here know what dates it states:

Most likely you'll get the NEW July END date but please check your welcome email to see what it states. You should get this email today or tomorrow.

Trying to port an factory-unlocked Moto X Pure and the device shows up is uneligible. Called the phone number and they say only eligible devices are from post-paid services.

When I try to port the phone number from TPO I receive this error message: "Ineligible, this phone does not qualify for this offer". When I try porting Google Voice phone number I receive this error message: "Sorry, but our records show you still owe Sprint for this device. Sign in to find this device on your account."

Anyone know if the Nokia 6.1 will work on the Sprint network? B&H lists it as working but it doesn't appear on Sprint's BYOD elgible device list.

If the device is a device that has been previously used with Sprint and it has the Sprint Sim card, that card is good forever with Sprint for that SPECIFIC device.

If NOT, then a new Sprint Sim card is needed SPECIFIC to the device model.

No.
The Nokia 6.1 will not work with CDMA carriers like Sprint, Verizon Wireless, Boost Mobile, Virgin Mobile or any other CDMA network.


From this article:
"As a GSM device, this will work on AT&T, T-Mobile, and a ton of MVNOs, but Sprint and Verizon still rely on CDMA and aren't compatible."

Another checker:

AFTER you flip the flag and the phone becomes eligible, you should CALL the BYOD dedicated toll free # to get this offer. Do NOT try to do it online.

Thank you. Is this a Sprint thing or all providers..if you know. I noticed in the wiki, to get TMobile, it states you need a new unused SIM.

This is a Sprint thing. With GSM providers, like T-Mo and AT&T the sim may be used in any GSM compatible phone.
Yes, you need a new unused T-Mo SIM.
