Sorry i provided incorrect info. I have a GV # that is ready to be ported. My sprint account is already set up when rep placed the order for me. SIM card will arrive tomorrow.
So when i call to activate the phone, that's when i provide the sim # and GV # correct? Once that's done. Then i can swap the SIM cards between the device ?
Swap Sprint SIM from iPhone 6 to iPhone 6s? CDMA doesn't work like that, you need to do device swap online and some people lost their promo when they did device swap before 120 days of activation of free year plan. https://www.howardforums.com/show...st16877634

Hey don't laugh but I bought 5$ Moto E2 from FreedomPop and it's geekbench is not far away from Moto E4

Moto E2 - https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/8617203 499/1261
Moto E4 Plus - https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/8612216 535/1532

Moto E2 has 900 MB RAM, and Moto E4 Plus has like 2.9 GB RAM.

Am I reading it incorrectly or something ... or is (CPU) performance wise Moto E2 comparable to E4 Plus (or does that 2 GB Extra RAM really make it much more fluid and swift)?

Thanks
Have a nice day :-)

Well looks like my landline phone number might not bee able to be transferred to Google Voice. Anyone with experience with this. It's with Spectrum right now.
From Google Website
"Corporate, landline, Internet-based (VoIP), and some other numbers can't be transferred.

Does this exact process work for current Virgin Mobile users who wish to get a Sprint plan?
These steps are for those who are already on sprint BYOD and want to get another free year.

Can someone please comment on the steps for porting out to T-Mobile Prepaid (using eBay virtual SIM) and completing the port out 100% online? It is here in the thread somewhere, I am surprised it is not included in the Wiki. I would rather not talk to someone from T-Mobile if possible.

I currently have 5 lines on BYOD, expiring next month. Using the trick pointed out in the Kickstarter thread, I plan to port out the Wife's line to T-Mo prepay, then add the line to my existing BYOD Sprint account as a Kickstarter line, opting for the Note 8 flex lease for $20 per month. I will then port the other 4 lines out and start a new BYOD plan with a different SSN.

Right, but there was a guy (or gal) in this thread that did what was in the second link with the exception of calling Tmo to complete the port out. It was all done online. I'll call them if I have to, but I would prefer not to.

I get it guys... I read the wiki. It speaks about >> calling << Tmo to port out the number from Sprint. My comment was referring to someone mentioning they >> did not have to call << Tmo. I believe it may have been iceberg11:

1. Get tmobile digital sim number from ebay. paid $3
2. Get sprint account and pin
3. Get phone imei
4. https://prepaid.t-mobile.com/prep...own-device
5. Port using your information
6. Remember pin and print out the order confirmation page that includes your account #
7. Check your eligibility on the Sprint promo page using your original sim and imei number
8. Call Sprint to port once the page indicate you are eligible

I had to dig quite a few pages back to find it, and I am not sure this is the exact comment I read days ago.

You need an activation code along with the iccid to be able to do online. I don't think eBay ones included an activation code. The amazon sim starter kits included activation code.

Real world vs a very simplistic benchmark isn't a good idea.

The E2 will barely be usable

The E4 is an ok phone, but I would look at the G6 play if Sprint hasn't closed that loophole yet (I haven't been following this thread lately)

hello! i am thinking of trying out this free service with my pixel 2 xl. i am currently on project fi service (bought the device via google store, not thro project fi). Already bought the sim card (SIMGLW416Q) online that's adviced for pixel users.

my question is, do i need to de-register my phone first from project fi before signing up? any help would be appreciated!
