You should have done one at a time if you do not have a third phone.
Best borrow a phone and check with the TMO port center 1-877-789-3106 to be sure the port completed if you want to try to use it on TMO (which is not necessary).
Are the phones compatible with TMobile? If not they will not work on TMobile which is not a problem.
Is the TMO sim in the phone?
I followed the ebay T-Mobile "digital" Sim Card process, so the Sim card on my phones right now are still the one I use for sprint.

Well they will not work again then until you port them back into Sprint.

Just borrow a phone to do that or use a computer voip service to call using a headset.

My free year is nearing its end as well. Anyone suggest another provider/plan to go with? I need at least 4 lines, unlimited, and I've gotta get as far away from Sprint as I can. I like them but their LTE in a 5 mile radius of my house is absolute shit. It took me forever to discover that I can just turn off LTE and use 3g in the area, which actually isn't that bad, but I'd still like to move on.

I just swapped in the $80 Boost Moto G6 Play from walmart. First I called the local Sprint Corporate Store and had them add the imei to the dna2 database. I just said it was an unlocked moto phone. You can find a Sprint corporate store near you on this link: https://storelocator.sprint.com/m...nity:store. The corporate stores are listed as full service stores. Then I used the sprint online support chat to swap the line with my previous line. I also checked to see if the bootloader of the Boost moto G6 play was unlockable and found it was. Since the Imei wasn't listed on the box I added one number to the meid hex and then checked it with http://www.imei.info/ until I had a valid imei. Now the only thing left to do is to sim unlock the phone.
Are you saying that AFter Sprint Corporate Store added the imei to the dna2 database. The bootloader is unlocked?

No, I'm just saying that I checked the bootloader via motorola's unlock page https://motorola-global-portal.cu...r-device-a and it reported it was eligible to be unlocked. The bootloader unlocking is completely unrelated to the adding the phone to dna2.

It would take too long because ordering online forces you to wait for sims to be shipped.

You do not need new sims in the first place.

I posted that bit on the bootloader being unlockable because before I bought the phone I wondered if the bootloader was unlockable.

That's what I read, I do not need a new Sprint Sim card but now figuring out a solution if someone out there who has the same problem when porting out to T-mobile.

So can I do it online then?

There is no other solution but sure, wait as long as you want.
You should have ported over one line at a time.

well, you don't need to call Sprint Corporate Store for the Boost Moto G6 Play.
You can call the Sprint Free 1 year phone number on here. They will add the phone imei for you.

Good to know, I just know that Sprint corporate stores usually know how to add imei to the dna2 database so I called them first.

Can I buy Ebay T-mobile Sim card(Digital), Transfer Sprint Phone 1 to Tmobile and then back to Sprint.

Then transfer Sprint Phone 2 to T-mobile using the above T-mobile Sim card then back to Sprint.

Basically, I want to port out/Port-in 2 phones using the same digital SIM card. Can this be done?

Also, can you use existing Sprint SIM cards when you port back?

Somebody says that I could do it and now I have 2 not working phones. So I just need to call from another phone to port them back in? Would they figure it out why I'm using another number instead of the 2 phones?

They did not intend that you interpret it the way you did. You always lose use of a phone when you port out its number, until you next activate it.

It is no problem at all to use a third phone. It is perfectly normal. In general it is better not to use a phone that is involved (as your experience confirms).

Of course you will have to go through account and credit approval for the new account under the different SSN.
