During the process of porting out and porting back in, what should we do with the phone...? Should we power the phone off during this entire process and don't do anything such as texting or making calls...? Thx for your help...
Just leave it off and turn it back on after the port is done.

Reps to Garymeter48 for sharing this find here a few days ago
Thanks, HunterOne. I agree with you, it is a low cost and simple method of starting a Sprint account. The G6 Play is definitely nicer than the G5 play and it's only $20 more, if you can find one. Using Brickseek it appears the Wal-Mart stores around me only received two G6's initially.

You must use the right sim part (out of many available part numbers) for your phone model (which you did not mention). Only one or two sim parts match any given model. This is discussed in the wiki.

Assuming I don't have another ss# to sign up with, how long do I have to wait after porting out to port back in (assuming this promo would still be running at that point)?

Yikes trying to activate a Moto G6 Play and they are saying it's a Prepaid Device and it won't activate. Help anyone have this happen today?

Geez then was on hold with them and got disconnected. We are experiencing system difficulties --please try your call later.

UPDATE I called right back and talked to someone else and the phone went through without any challenges. Now did the first person get it released or what happened? I will never know but should have service in about 10 minutes.

Phone number ported from T Mobile without a hitch. Thanks HunterOne for the link---look at his posts for the link.

Boost model comes with sim card(most likely 406TQ). Simolw506TQ(BYOD kit) or simolw406TQ, simglw406TQ will work on G6 play(unlocked/unbranded) when released.

I am thinking of porting to MetroPCS, get the rebate for 2 months free (rebate in form of prepaid visa/mastercard) and port back in to Sprint. Sprint page says it got extended till 7/31/2019 if you sign up now, sure it not indicative of anything, but I think they might extend this offer for 2 more months. If they don't I will just buy Red Pocket for 1 year for 60$ from eBay with 100 Min, 100 Texts, 500MB LTE as I hardly ever exceed that much.

Try to call early in the day, maybe around 9am. Try to avoid calling close to closing time.
Always, give them a tel. # to call you back if disconnected at the beginning of the call.

But even then, it depends on the rep, some will call back others no. Also some reps are more greedy, and they just want to go to the next prospect.
I was once hung up twice and no call backs but the 3rd rep was excellent and did the job properly. I was calling back after the store ID check, so some of these reps probably thought that there wasn't much for them to handle the job and they went for more prospective customers, perhaps first time callers.

But that's life, you've got to overcome such obstacles, take it to the finish, and get the job done.
