There is also good survey by zip code.
Some people here put a huge amount of time into maintaining the Wiki and deserve our support and thanks.
Agree...and they have my thanks. Like you. You told me it was in the wiki and approximately where, and sort of answered me. The "IT'S IN THE WIKI, IDIOT!" posts are not helpful and only add, unfortunately, to the extreme length of this deal post. Whatever.

But truly, thanks to all the wiki contributors and the posting of this deal. It's saving a lot of people a lot of money. Reps given to you.

The phone most recommended now is the boost mobile Moto G6 play. Other boost models are also working, like the Moto G5 play and the E4. I have seen various discounts at best buy stores in my area. Since it's getting close to a possible end to this promo, you can try price matching at BB to the Boostmobile.com website. YMMV. Walmart also carries boost phones and their return policy is better. All the sign up info is on the outside of the box, ie IMEI number and ICCID(sim) number(as they do come with sim cards). Then you just need to port in a number from another carrier, which you can buy those for $5 from numberbarn or Ebay. Just be sure not to mention Boost or prepaid when calling the number in the wiki. Just say it's a motorola G6 or whatever. Good luck to you. Because Boost is part of Sprint, their phones will have all of the calling features of their Sprint counterparts.
And BTW, you cannot purchase boost phones from a boost mobile store because they will force you to sign up on Boost.
Also, after 50 days on sprint , you can request an unlock code and then you can take your phone to a different network( with possible limited results)

You can buy a Boost Moto G6 Play ($100) and those have all Sprint features such as Wifi Calling and Visual VoiceMail and come with sim. Also some other Boost Moto models.

Activate by calling the 8777 number only (not online) and do not mention Boost or Prepaid as it is unofficial that you can get away with activating rthee particular prepaid models but everybody is doing it fine. Best read this thread and Wiki for more details.

No wait a while and try again.

If it was on Sprint before, it can probably go back on one way or another.

Probably the rep will let it on if it was on before.

Question: I renewed my BYOD for the second year on 4 lines of service. My wife's phone is the Apple 6 and she needs a larger phone. Is there any method of purchasing her a new/different phone and retain the second free year of service? I know if I purchase from Sprint, that will mess up my one year free service.

Before, I have swapped SIM cards, when I purchased new phones on Verizon, to keep the grandfathered Unlimited plan - we no longer have. Thank you in advance.

You would have to own that new phone free and clear of any contract or lease. Then simply swap it onto her number through the online dashboard.

Any phone that was on Sprint before can be put on this offer.

Just ask the rep to push it through.

I just messed around with the test mode and speed test on my iPhone. My speeds just dramatically increased. Pegged at 150 on a couple. I'd only been getting like 2, an hour ago. That was 3g, which I was using because lte was slower minutes before. Maybe my phone was locked into some setting. Hopefully that was the culprit and this isn't short lived. I'm speculating that maybe it wasn't letting me use 41 until now due being set to pcs band

Sorry for my ignorance but his phone is a tribute 5 so it says on the site it is not elegible. Are you saying that the rep can make that phone elegible?

If I buy a phone it would be a brand new one which hast been on Sprint.
