Hi, all, I would know what is the cheapest way to port out tello number to a non-Sprint carrier and then port out to Sprint one year unlimited free plan?

TIA!
Cheapest and easiest way would be to port your number to T-Mobile and then port to Sprint for the free year deal. Details in the wiki.

The checker says that my iPhone 6 (ATT) is eligible for sprint service but it is 'locked'. What are my options to have it 'unlocked'? Thank you.
You could contact AT&T for the unlock or use a cheap unlocking service through eBay

In addition to the other responses, some phones that have been on a Sprint mvno at any time (if the phone was) will at first be rejected with en error "Money is owed to Sprint."

You should wait until you encounter this, but when you do, search this thread for LlterallyUnlimited, PLBL. SPCS, mvno flag for the solution.

Though i have never dealt with tello, you might also try asking them if they can flip the ownership flag back to sprint postpaid (which is what this plan is). Of course if you bring a new phone such as the moto z2 force or the boost g6 play then you'll be fine. Both phones discussed elsewhere on SD.

They have refused *almost* all such requests but sure, why not try again one more time just in case they have changed.

When pressed, they have said they require a letter from Sprint before they will consider it.

Even then I think they would get Sprint to actually do it if they got cornered. I do not think they have implemented the API. Most lazy MVNO's only get as far as the bare minimum needed to add users and remove users etc.

LiterallyUnlimited was telling people to ask them for a while but gave up after they refused repeatedly.

I think the only MVNOs that will do it are Ting, Google, and Freedom Pop.

Some people have managed to get Sprint to flip the MVNO flag as well.

The few times I've actually done that, I just searched "AT&T iPhone unlock" on eBay. Just make sure you read and understand what is stated in the listing.

I was only in that area for a short while. I did run a second test with similar results. Of course band 41. I was sitting outside the dunkin donuts if you know the area.

That's a new one - rep. actually playing a practical joke on a customer! I guess they are sick of that question.

But the poster may have called the wrong number. The only reps allowed to sell or give details on this offer are at 866-782-8777 and they do not transfer you to other reps (other than possibly as a practical joke in this case).

And the offer cannot be extended, other than as described in detail in the Wiki, involving porting out and opening a new account (see the Wiki).


Okay here is a little background.

I called in to request an unlock code for my device and we submitted the request successfully.

When I was about to hang up the lady informed me about this offer and asked if I'll be interested.

I didn't ask about extending 1 year free line, it was offered to me without asking for it.

Further update - i followed up with another call to see if such offer really exist. After spending 40 mins on the line, i was told yes that is an offer on my account. When we talked about upgrading the phone, i asked for Moto z2 force.
They didn't have that phone, and I don't care much about extending 1 year free. So I concluded the call without accepting other phones which they were pushing me for.
