Stop spreading lies and FUD. TMobile Virtual sim method works well and has had many successes if you bothered to read. In the end it was due to Sprints crappy port system overload that was the issue. Probably because surge in a last minute port in due to the possible 6/30 deadline. Nothing to do with T-Mobile virtual sim issues
Wah wah wah..... how do you call it a lie if it's true he's having problems with this. Troll

Sprint ports T-Mobile numbers prepaid or postpaid in a matter of minutes unless you're giving them wrong info
Incorrect. They don't if their system isn't working properly.

Quick update for those who are familiar with my situation. Wife called yesterday and they wouldn't let her get the 1 year because of the 45 day rule. I think at this point I am going to port my numbers off the Tmo virtual SIMs into Cricket 5 lines for $125 and wait out the 45 days and hope the offer is still around. Thanks for all your help!

Glad that worked, was phone on h2o before sprint by chance? I always check SD for solutions as many members are so helpful.




Yes, it was, I had checked in past on SD but I was looking for a solution from the angle of manufacturing issues/defects with phone or SIM (incorrect type), rather than just an existing old profile left on the phone till I read your post, and a bell went off in my head! :-)

What ticks me off is that all along, I knew about that profile (from past experience dealing with H2O wireless) but neither any of the techs/support folks nor I thought about checking for that. Now, in hindsight, it looks like an elementary oversight than anything else

Activated my service yesterday. The LTE data is working perfectly, but voice and message don't work. Reseted network settings, updated profile by dialing ##873283#, but problem still exists. Anyone has any suggestions? Thanks a lot.

What phone? Voice and text use CDMA so some kind of issue with CDMA provisioning or signal.

Because everyone wants their old number back and I thought you can't Port into Metro from Tmo Prepay. I can't even port the old numbers into Google Voice because Google requires you to enter a verification code sent to the phone attached to the old number, which is not possible with the virtual sim.

Boost Mobile g6 is not unlocked. It however will activate on Sprint until they fix their systems to block all future boost phone activations
