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.

On Monday, I've ported the Sprint number to TMO. I've followed the instructions in the wiki. After a few hours I've called Sprint to unlock the phone and ask if my account shows, Cancelled. They unlocked my phone, but said that it may take 72 hours to get updated in the system. As of today, the phone still shows, Ineligible, this phone does not qualify for this offer. What do I have to do to have it, eligible?
a system is not always correct if you call the number they can probably make it work

i had same problem sprint-tombile-sprint

iPhone x not valid or compatible

when i call the 888 no problem activated instantly

so i would call the 888 and see what they say

Quote from garymeter48 :
I'm curious to know if Sprint is still allowing activation of the Boost G6. I activated three of them, but that was a few weeks ago.
We bought two of the Boost Moto E5 Play phones from Walmart ($60 each) and their IMEI showed up on the Sprint Verification website as "eligible" and they came with a Sprint (not Boost) Sim card pre-installed. We called the Activation ph# instead of doing it online since we already had SIM cards.

The rep was definitely from the Philippines but was very helpful, knowledgeable and verified our phone IMEIs were eligible before running our credit check. He stated that they don't verify the SIM card since it's an actual Sprint SIM and came pre-installed in the phone, so he never asked for the SIM card numbers only the phone IMEI (HEX). He said both phones were eligible, set up our account, ran our credit, told us to turn off our phones for 10-15 minutes so the port over from Verizon could complete. Then when we powered them up and both activated no problem with LTE, voice and text working from our two ported numbers from Verizon. If you get a knowledgeable rep it makes it so quick and easy.

PS. We live in a very mountainous city and previously could only get reception in our home and work with Verizon. So far with Sprint we get the same reception in our home and better reception at work (inside a large corporate building). We are very happy with the service so far!

Prepaid phone does not come with a number. Reading the post it says they ported over from verizon.

This is great. We now can verify both the E5 play and the G6 play from Boost will work on this deal.

Purchased them last night. They never have enough people working phones/electronics so we had to ask a guy who was walking by to help us. He rang us up for the two phones no problem. On the box it says you can activate them in store OR online at the Boost website so I'm not sure what the Walmart policy is with that being printed on the box.

Read that the $15/month unlimited plan is ending today... is the free unlimited plan still ending next month? Just making sure they haven't stealthily decided to end both promos today! Planning to signup a phone as soon as I've got a sim card ordered.

all outlined there

procede with caution, but u should be fine..as long as u have a different ss # to use
2 Questions:
Do you need 1 Tmo virtual SIM per line?
When this plan first came out I tried to get it on my spouse's line but they had some problem that required instore verification and the store was actually quite unhelpful. So we abandoned that plan and applied in my name. Now I want to extend for a year, will this be a problem?
