The deal details can only be updated by OP and is incorrect. Wiki says iPad pro can't be activated but should be all iPads and all other tablets.
Being on mobile is no excuse. Just switch to full site on bottom of page.
You clearly don't use the app. You could also be helpful without having an attitude, by the way.

I am on mobile so I don't know what thread box you are talking about. And that doesn't answer my question as to why their are nine different iPad models listed in this deal details/wiki page.
As edog11 notes, we have tried to get the erroneous post corrected to remove iPads but so far SlickDeals will not allow us to change the original post with a correction.

I or we will discuss to see if can make some renewed efforts to get it corrected. I can also try to help contact the original poster if it helps those who were originally working on this effort to get it fixed.

You can IMEI swap the phone at any time starting on your dashboard.
Changing the number later is somewhat harder.

Thank you. That is very helpful information. iPads were not originally listed on this post when it was initially posted last year. I thought that maybe there was a new loophole since nine different iPad models are now listed.

For S6, it probably does not have the Sprint bands so it could never work and is ineligible by all definitions of that word (which can vary). Their system knows that and will never allow it on even via swap.

They mean the unbranded versions sold by Samsung as "Unlocked" versions.
Besides unbranded/ "special edition" versions, Sprint branded versions work too.

Yes but you have to port in a number with it from elsewhere in that case. (e.g. "number for port" sold on EBay).

It does not matter that the number has no relationship with the phone.

I just ended my first year of free - service is pretty solid, I'm moving to T Mobile because Spring doesn't have VOLTE which means nav and non-SMS messages (iMessage) won't come in if you're talking on the phone (yes I still do that). I'll have to see if T Mobile is worth the extra $792/year ($70 TM all in price X 12 - $4 Sprint Taxes X 12)
