I have an s8.. how do I know if it's"special"?
easy way is go to swappa or google and enter the model number.

ex: I enter my s8+ model number SM-G955U1 and got this:

Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus (Unlocked) [SM-G955U1]

*special means factory unlocked

Doing the port roundtrip porting out to tmobile through the digital sim and coming back to spring: Do you have to pay anything when you're porting into tmobile? the online website says you have to pay $3/month pay as you go to activate it. But how does it work when you're talking with the representative? Will they do the port without any money up front? I'm currently on a 2 hour wait with tmobile

on the phone you dont have to load any money. But I rather pay $3 then wait 2 hours.

I started the port out from Sprint to Tmo prepaid using a digital ICCID at 8.50am PST. at around 9.20am PST I could not make any calls and didnt get any internet.

at around 9.45am PST I called Sprint phone number in the wiki. I used my old sprint sim and confirmed on sprint website that my imei/phone number were eligible for another year. the agent then went ahead and started the port.I completed the call with sprint at around 10.30am PST

it is now 11am PST and my sprint account shows the correct device/phone number information.

But i do not get any internet/service. when I try to make a call, it says your account cannot be validated.

On my sprint account, under my device, it asks me to provide a phone number, and when I enter the ported in number, it says, device is not active or cancelled.

can someone help, what is going on here?

All US S8 models are now eligible. So all carrier branded and unbranded/unlocked(special) models are eligible.

Yes on old sprint phone. Boost mobile g6 play and e5 play both work, but you have to call in to sprint and just tell them it's a Motorola phone. If you say it's a boost phone they won't put you on a sprint line. Some people had the misfortune of requesting to be put on a BYOD free year plan and sprint signed them up for a $60 unlimited plan. I did the whole process online through the link and had no issues however.
So a brand new boost Moto g6 play can be swapped onto the Sprint 1 year free plan? I am on the plan now but dropped my phone and broke it. Thanks.

Dial
*#*#72786#*#*

or try
##72786#

A message will pop up then hit yes -- it'll re-provision the phone to Sprint's network
