Can anyone confirm if a Sprint iPhone 7 Plus works with this plan?
Sure it will but if it has been on an MVNO you will get a "You owe Sprint" error until you contact LiterallyUnlimited on reddit. Search his posts on this thread for more info.

Also you may have to try a couple of times to get it past Sales staff, or worst case swap it on.

The list in the wiki says "verizon only" by iPhone 7 plus. What does that mean?

It means no TMO or AT&T iPhone7's because they would not work (wrong chip).
The list, as it notes, is only partial.
All Sprint phones can be activated with a little effort in some cases but are not marketing targets for this promo and so are not mentioned explicitly.

If you have the phone, try the IMEI in several Sprint checkers to get further insight.

"update: reports are, that as of ~7/15/18. the 10 gb hot spot feature has been removed for new sign ups"

What about added free lines to same account where the one line already had hot spot included?

Perfect and I agree- those are the two that are widely being activated on this plan.

I think that low-cost Sprint phones like these are vastly preferable for many because they both have Wifi Calling (confirmed) which is CRUCIAL in many areas for good reception indoors.

So many people opt for the unbranded Moto models and I think they are wrong.

Plus Sprint will unlock these phones after 50 days.
Someone in the Boost thread just activated an E4

I just got mine and will try in the next day or so. I need to get my TMobile number first. Unless I get generous and decide to activate the G6 for my son instead rather than selling it. I almost feel bad giving him "ONLY" the E4 when I have a g6 sitting in another box right beside it.

Thanks!

Well it may be fairly wide open then I guess assuming the report is true. ​

Sprint may be willing to steal customers from its own prepaid division as much as it can get away with, prior to being forced by regulators to divest itself of Boost, which is a likely anticipated condition for approval of the TMO merger. Quite likely Sprint is preparing an offer to give up Boost in private discussions.

Dunno

I just went to their website and entered the MEID (DEC) and some random phone number and it said this phone is not eligible. Maybe I need some other number

You may need to convert it to IMEI?

https://swappa.com/esn will calculate it but has a Captcha.

You could try all 10 possible check digits or maybe http://www.imei.info/calc
will do it.

Your added line will be on whatever plan and features you got with your first line and will have the same expiration date.
