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.

Unlocked Moto E4 is probably the cheapest phone you can get that will work on Sprint

Has anyone not gotten a hard pull on their credit report? I activated this plan months ago and have had no problems...I check my credit score religiously and there was never a record of a hard pull.
How do you check the score for experian?

I think these carriers pulll score from Experian....
Services like credit karma show only TransUnion and Equifax....

So not sure how to check Experian hard pulls.

The Boost Mobile Moto G6 Play is $79 at Walmart and has been successfully activated on this plan by many in this thread. You can use the MEID and ICCID on the bottom of the box to activate a new Sprint line before unsealing the box. If it doesn't work you can return it to WM. https://brickseek.com/walmart-inv...=247042233
Edit: It may or may not be unlockable though.

I think the implication is that they *may* terminate if you use a lot generally. Probably they would not do so just for an isolated month or two.
My area doesn't have Sprint native. I use a couple or hundred MBs almost every month, not many minutes or SMS though. No problems after a year.

There has been a few reports of unlocking from sprint and even tested with ATT sim and service. I was getting a different phone unlocked for travel, I also asked about my G6 Play and they also submitted a unlock request for me. Requested both international and domestic. I can report back in a few days. However unlocking will be up to sprint.

I bought a really cheap iPhone 5C 8GB Verizon Model from eBay, I think like 40$ shipped. 5C is very old and has no support/updates on iOS anymore, it is missing Band 41 so speed will be slow depending on your area, I am in New Orleans and I am pulling 20+ Mbps on Band 25, proof - https://imgur.com/a/BWbct

To the folks who have done this deal twice, my first year is almost over. Do I have to wait until that year is over (July) or can I just port my phones out and start a new account with a different SSN?

I just did this very thing myself. I wouldn't wait, it's not a 12 month plan. Your current one likely expires 7/31/18 and if you did it today your new one will expire 7/31/19 so you aren't really wasting the couple of months you have left. They could end this tomorrow and you're screwed. DO IT

So do you need to unlock it somehow before you can use it on this deal? I just re-upped my year for my 2 kids using a different SSN but used the same phones. I'd like to upgrade the phones to the G6 and will go buy them. Do you just switch phones on the Sprint website by plugging the IMEI info in straight out of the box and they work?

Does anyone know if this plan include unlimited Data roaming? I read somewhere that they cut off the Data roaming after 1GB. That would be a problem if you're streaming while on roaming.

JSDM, good to have confirmation of what I had heard!
So, YesxxxHolic, you are not going to get cut off for going a bit over occasionally, but if you download large amounts while roaming month after month, then you could be because they do not want to pay Verizon its obscenely high roaming charges (it charges other carriers more than it charges its own customers) since you would be more naturally a Verizon customer.

No you can just use the phone on sprint when you buy it, as long as they are still accepting onto sprint since this is a Boost Phone. I was not able to use the website to switch to this phone. I have been successful with Calling in and using the Chat on website to activate the phone. You should be able to activate the phone without even taking it out of the box.

The unlocking is for future use, I want to be ready for options when my 1 year is up.

I just wanted to put clarity on the part of the message about being unlockable.
Since this is a Boost phone, officially the unlock should come from boost, which you will need to contact them for unlock.
Presently the G6 play's registered onto Sprint appear to be ICC locked to sprint, and sprint appears to be able to provide unlock at this time if you qualify.

first time I did this with a prepaid card, what is the process if you buy the SIM digitally on ebay?
