I picked up a sim card kit by Boost Mobile at BB (instead of buying from Sprint and having to wait for them to ship it.)

How do you activate the SIM before porting your number in? Will Sprint CS do it for me? The Sprint "Activate Now" site won't work for SIMs bought elsewhere.

No need to activate the number.. call up the number and they will ask details along with Sim iccid plus your phone imei.. they will activate it and also port in

Quote from guen0ri :
the boost iphone 6 i got for $70 from someone on facebook marketplace, said he didn't have it for long but switched to metro for coverage reasons. i bought the $3 sim number from ebay the seller sends you sim number via message and i activated by calling tmobile and asking to use it on the pay as you go for free (they give you phone number, pin number and account number is same as phone number but with a 1 in front). I gave that tmobile info to sprint rep with boost iphone imei. I had an old sprint sim card laying around i used for iccid. I did the same for the boost moto g6 but i bought that brand new at walmart a few days ago. Didn't turn on the phone till after 20 min after transferring from tmobile to sprint (used iccid that came in the phone).
thanks. did the imei on the sprint website pass eligibility? if so i can check this in the store before i buy.

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.
Port the number to a mobile carrier first (like T-Mobile). You can then port the number to GV.

got it.

here is my 2c.
i just did these exact same steps yesterday.
went v well w/o any problems.
i only did 1 line
i dont mind calling TM to port a number from sprint,
since TM is gaining u as a customer, they are more likely to help


anyways...good luck..
do be sure and update wiki if successful..
I'm in the process of trying a work around (haven't ported to Sprint yet because I can't find a cheap phone), but I've apparently activated a phone with TM on a prepaid data only plan (0$ a month). I received a phone number 100% online. Again, I haven't ported out yet but I will do so and post back as soon as I get a phone sometime this week.

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 :-)
E4 plus is nice cheap phone

Thanks that's what I was thinking or other alternative is to add another line to my Sprint BOYD if they will accept the Moto G6 play. I was hoping another phone would become avail but not looking like it. I have a Moto G6 play and a Moto G5+ on the service right now

I've purchased and activated three Boost G6 Play's. I was able to get the first one unlocked. A few days later I submitted for the other two unlocks. After three days I received an email telling me they need to be activated for 50 days before they can be unlocked. The one G6 that I was able to get unlocked works on both AT&T and Verizon.
How do you usually request unlock code from sprint after 50 days of service with them(for G6 play in my case). Do we call the customer care or is there a portal like ATT unlock requests?

My wife and I want to switch from Verizon post paid. Is this deal still good for a full year if we sign up today?

Neither of our phones are compatible (Moto Droid Razr M and Galaxy S7 Verizon locked). Any suggestions for inexpensive phones we can buy new?

Also, what should we expect as far as activation fees, taxes etc?
