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.

Imei = dec meid + checksum digit(calculated using luhn algorithm). Boost sim, the G4 sim won't work with G6 play.
Some people said they used hex meid though when activating.
Went online to my account managet devices used meid hex check code saying " not recognized number on there database"

I don't know what you were trying to tell me here
""Imei = dec meid + checksum digit(calculated using luhn algorithm). ""

Basically, if you have 1 number(imei,dec meid, or hex meid) you can calculate other 2 numbers.
I didn't activate G6 play so maybe someone else will chime in.

I would like to get one number and go to sprint store and port it to this plan using unlocked g5 plus.
DO NOT go to a sprint store to get this plan. Please see the first few lines in the wiki.

omg, not sure if it's worth my time anymore just to sign up for this promo.
i called the credit dept, rep said the reason why order wouldn't go thru is they need to verify my identity in person at the store. Asked me to bring 2 proof of ID in the store, and then the rep can clear it with the credit dept. screw that. Told her I want to order it online or over the phone. She wouldn't put in override or budge.

Ended up sending Elise & Marci an email and twitter message. Hope they respond
Lots of people have had to show ID at the store. It is up to you of course but I personally would just do it. The reason they ask is they doubt it is you, because of some discrepency or other conflicting credit activity, so it is not any reflection on you at all and I am not too sure that they would back down on that. They are actually protecting you in the face of a risk they detect that somebody may be impersonating you in some cases and I would not want that waived myself - in fact I have notes on my credit report to require additional identication.

If you go the store, go to a corporate store. The procedure is they open an empty ACCOUNT only, not yet the PLAN, because stores cannot access the free plan and often mess it up if they do as noted by another poster.

Then that takes care of creating the account and you go home and call in and set up the plan. As noted by the other poster, do not have the store set up the plan, just the account.

You cannot do swaps through TeleSales. They only do paid upgrades. Somtimes things get really messed up when people try to do IMEI swaps thropugh TeleSales because TeleSales tries to do a paid upgrade instead.

For IMEI swaps you do it though your DashBoard (and/or chat).

Great info! The credit dept said she can take down my personal info to begin the application process. Then drop by the Sprint store to verify my ID. Then the store rep will call the credit dept to confirm ID has been verified.

Then what ? Call and have the rep set up the plan ?

An off topic question . Why do sprint initiate the call counter before even the call gets connected ? I mean the moment it starts ringing , the counter starts which is real strange 🤔

I used MEID (Hex) and used the SIM which came with the Boost G6 device (provided the ICCID which was printed on the box).

If model A1863 it works on Sprint.
If model A1905(no CDMA) doesn't work with Sprint.
Both models work on ATT.
Settings/general/about tap model.
Also you can enter IMEI in sprint checker.

What an incredible experience this has been. I still learn new points every time I catch up in this thread.(Which I promptly forget probably).
There are a few posters here who have made this the absolute, hands down best money saver cell phone deal EVER.
Imagine how many hundreds of thousands of dollars have been saved by the helpful attentive work done here.
I'm going to be sad to see it end! Now what?
Thanks again Slickdealers. You know who you are.
At the risk of sounding corny, I am compelled once again to name comintel. Outstanding work friend. We all Thank you

For sure, I was pretty hesitant to try this a year ago when I first saw it, mostly due to not having a phone to use on sprint. Lots of recent information pushed me to try, and really glad I did it. I could not have done it without all the information in this thread!

Why do you need to call telesales bro?
If u have an online account.., u can log in and the option to swap devices is in the dashboard.. I think it's under Support- devices option..
Also if you wait fr a little time while in mysprint.com a chat window would pop up.. they should also able to verify the device IMEI and SIM Iccid and let u know if swap possible.. please make sure ur sim is supported in the new phone...
