Orbic wonder uses 506TQ or 406TQ.
No IPhones use that sim so don't think they would have them. Sure it wasn't for a different phone.
I believe Apple only carries 436C for iPhone 5S-7 and 416Q for iPhone 8,X.
You may have lost your mind today for believing the Sprint manager saying plan would end yesterday.
I have to check my notes.
It was several months ago.

Yes I'm still recovering from those 1000 lashes

$4.77 after $19.17 bill credit. If leave early(before 24 months) lose remaining bill credits. Plan is $25 a month if have sprint phone line but $75 without. So bill $25 month for first 12 months(free phone plan) then $85(or$75 without phone line)a month for month 13-24.
So I have also a paid account that I've had that for 18 years. Can I get this offer on that account. Is there a data requirement. To be added to the iPad.

Is the iPad added as a line. Any link to this offer

Isn't there a unlimited tablet data plan required for this offer. That's an additional 25 a month. Or am I missing something.

Why do people keep saying you can get free SIM at Apple Store? I went to the one in Queens Center in Rego Park and the one in Grand Central Terminal and both said they don't give out SIMs nor do they have them lying around. All the carrier models have SIM already installed in the phone and the unlocked model isn't sold with SIM.

People keep saying that the Apple Stores give you free Sims because they do. Sure there may be one or two or ten Apple stores that don't. You got one or two that don't. But most in the country do. That's why people keep saying they do. Maybe only a matter of time before.

I would like to take advantage of this promotion but also want to get a new iPhone later this month. A couple questions about the terms:
  1. Are you able to 'lose' your phone prior to 4 months to attach a different phone to your plan and keep the 1 year free? Are there any repercussions for doing this to get around their 120 day limitation?
  2. Also, can they actually tell if you have a phone loan with Apple on the phone you add? Or do you definitely have to have full ownership over the device?
  3. Is there any way to search comments on SD?

Would anyone know if I buy a Boost Mobile Moto E5 Plus [boostmobile.com], will it work on GSM networks (TMO or At&T for example) with a GSM SIM, after the 1 YR free with Sprint.


The idea is to put it on this Sprint Free 1 YR plan, have Sprint unlock it after 50 days, and then after 1 year, move to a GSM network (because Sprint service is unreliable in general and not worth paying for)

Yes if you root the phone you can do it.

Run WifiTetherRouter from the Play Store (however that app. will be invisible on the Play Store on Sprint until you buy it).

Or, even without root, you can run PDANet Plus for Tethered access and WifiDirect use. That app will also be hidden in PlayStore on Sprint.

Several people have tested Boost Moto G6 Play after unlock on other carriers and it worked fine. I think there are other threads in SD on the model you mention.

Maybe someone will reply here too hopefully on Boost Mobile Moto E5 Plus specifically. Otherwise it should be the same.

I do not agree re Sprint quality but let's not import that battle into every other post.

Most of them don't . Waste time and gas. Your lucky if they give you one.
