Quote from mikeofarabia :
Which wiki
The info is either in this deal's wiki or in the thread itself. There seems to be a loophole that is allowing the Boost Motorola G6 Play on to this deal. I'm unsure if you can bring it in while porting a number, but I can tell you that I have successfully swapped a G6 in to a pre-existing line. When doing so, the main thing is not to mention to the Sprint rep that it is a Boost or prepaid device. Also, you can use the existing sim that comes with it. No need to get one from Sprint. Sorry. I just realized that my "details in the wiki" comment was confusing. Details on why the Verizon Moto E4 won't work on Sprint are in the E4 wiki and details about how to swap the Boost G6 Play on to the Sprint deal are either in this thread, this wiki, or both.

Just noticed I have about 6 iPhone a1778 and only 1 A1660. Great. Thought they were all A1660. Guess I won't be doing this deal anytime soon.

did they give you 5 in one visit?
I am finally thinking of switching my account (4 lines) from Tmobile to these free plans.
I have 2 iPhone 7 and 2 x. The 7's are A1660 which are unlocked by Tmobile.

Hopefully I don't need all users from the account in order to get multiple sims.


I am also thinking of switching my dad's account that has 5 lines from Tmobile to this free plan. The only thing is that he is on the old Simple Choice plan but has been complaining of paying a lot. This would drastically cut down his bill but at the expense of slightly worse service.
Yes, they gave me all 5 at one time without even verifying that I had five iPhones or my current Sprint account. The "Genius" was initially confused stating that they don't give SIM cards without a new phone purchase but I was persistent that these should be free. Also, you have to tell them that you just want the SIM cards and you'll take care of porting the service over. She, the "Genius," then proceeded to ask her supervisor, where the supervisor confirmed that the SIM cards are free. Even with the confusion, the overall experience was positive, especially since these SIM cards go for $25 each on T-Mobile's web-site.

First off thanks to the wiki contributors and socially to the person that added the numberbarn solution. I 1st tried to port from google voice and that was a no go. So the 1st line I opened in sprint was to test the service and it is great. I am using an iPhone se from Verizon and it has above average connection. I recently discovered that this model does not have band 41. That's were Sprint bonds two other bands and service is better. I'm waiting for my iPhone X's to arrive to port over my main line over to sprint. Does anyone know the sim part number that will work on a iPhone xs?

The iPhone Xs will use SIMOLW516TQ, SIMGLW416TQ, or SIMOLW416TQ.
The 516TQ is considered the byod sim(tricut) but all 3 should work.
Since these sim card part numbers are new(have not been used in other sprint phones) availability may be limited.
Also the Xs has embedded sim(e-sim) but is not supported yet.

I would like to know if you had success transferring phone number back to Sprint. I'm about to do the same process of what you did. Could you share the story with us? Thank you.

Call 1-866-782-8777 and sign up!

Online activation is NOT advisable and would cost you needlessly by forcing an unnecessary purchase of sims, as per the wiki. This is just another illustration.

They probably just need to clear away any cobwebs left of your old account.

Also please specify the exact phone model you have so that you can get some meaningful feedback on your comment on service.

You can only do it if you have a phone that supports it (high end recent Sprint-branded Androids).

But the list will expand with VoLTE by year end and will include iPhones.

No the flip is made on the Sprint internal devvice database and has absolutely no effect whatsoever other than on the Sprint network.
thanks. It just scared me when he said he'd put it on Ting. Sounded like he was putting her phone on Ting for a minute. Oh well, the guy stopped communicating with me so I just bought my sister 2 new 25.00 Total Wireless plans and I'll keep her on that. Thanks for your help. I really appreciate your responses.
