Does anyone know if the LG Stylo 4 from Metropcs will work on the deal if I get it unlocked?
Why not use the link in OP, enter the imei, and check for yourself. Sprint has to whitelist the device so if Sprint says it will work than you should be good.

u noticed the same thing ? awesome.

u did update the wiki with that information..right?

anyone can update the wiki.
even u can do it.

but do keep in mind, the wiki cannot have all the information in the world about a deal.
just the salient points.

if u think is a convoluted mess...then by all means..update it..clean it up..go ahead..i will wait...

edit: I just noticed. all u did was complain about the wiki and did actually nothing about it
Actually, what I did was help and answer their question directly instead of simply saying go visit the wiki hug

BTW, I edited the wiki on your behalf and added the link to that scrambled wall of text Peace

Probably wrong plan. Looks like 2 $25 kickstart plans plus taxes by the amount. What does plan details(dashboard manage plan, details) say?
Sprint bills in advance so that is charges on 9/5/18 for service 9/6 thru 10/5.

I can't seem to find this answer, but it's there any reason I can't just just the activated sim card into a different phone after activating? I plan on activating a Nexus 6, but will be upgrading my current Pixel XL to either a Note 9 or Pixel 3XL soon. Will I be able to put the sim from the Nexus 6 into my Pixel XL with no issues?

Nope. Sprint activates by the phone's IMEI, not by the sim.

Just get the appropriate sim for new phone (varies by model) , put it it in the new phone, and do an IMEI swap on your Dashboard and/or with tech support chart.

By the way Samsung Notes have better Sprint support for all features, but check in the eligibility checker that the IMEI of the particular brand Note 9 qualifies if it is a branded model. They may or may not all qualify now, but I am not 100% sure. Of course the Sprint or unbranded Note 9 models all qualify (but the unbranded model is not as complete on Sprint features - no built in VisualVoiceMail except as an added app).
