Guess they are finally valuing their service quality at zero dollars!! Having unfortunate experience of being a sprint customer, I wholeheartedly concur with the valuation of their service.
Can I cancel after the first year?
Hi! I have ten specific questions that only pertain to my individual circumstances. I epitomize laziness and my sense of entitlement is impervious to reason. Therefore it is the responsibility of anyone and everyone who reads this to find the answers to my questions.

Which sim? There are 3 in that pack. You have to use the right one.

It is beside the point anyway. A zillion people have used that kit. It is sold in Sprint stores as well. The problem was not the kit. It is not worth the trouble trying to figure out who goofed up where.

You need to use SIMOLW506C from that kit. It is a tri cut size so you need to break off on Nano size.You can also enter Imei and iccid(sim) on tello to verify(green check mark) Obviously don't sign up on tello.

Any phone (under $150) suggestions on eBay that will work with BYOD offer.
How old of a phone can you tolerate? Moto X Pure and iPhone 6/SE can work with this and should be sub-$100

First person told me it was incompatible, so I went on the website to verify but the site said it was compatible. I called back and talked to a 2nd person who informed me it would work, but when they tried to add the ICC ID from the SIM card they hit and snag and said their system rejected all 3 #s.

I just bought the SIM cards new from my local Sprint store.

Am I doing something wrong or is the phone really incompatible? It's been used with AT&T for the last few years.

Quote from JaTaN :

Double check the SIM card part number you got -- make sure its compatible with iPhone 6s
Double check your phone to make sure you actually have a CDMA iPhone 6s -- if its a GSM iPhone 6s (ATT/TMo) then it won't work on SprintI
The Phone was a Boost phone unlocked for AT&T so it seems like it should work?

The SIM card kit I purchased from the sprint store worked with my iPhone SE, so does that mean that another card from the same kit should work with a 6s too?

Last week, I recall some people had problems porting their telephone numbers back to Sprint after they ported to T-Mobile. Is this still the case? I ported my 5 lines of service to T-Mobile over the weekend. I'd like to port them back to Sprint for this BYOD One Year Free. Any updates from the ones who had experienced porting issues?
I just ported 2 lines to T-Mobile, waited about 2 hours, then back to sprint under a different account. No issues.

Pardon me, I got the "Boost Mobile Triple SIM Pack" - same SIM card from the link in the Wiki. It contained a SIM card that said Sprint on it and fit my iPhone 6S Plus no problem. Gave the Sprint rep the ICCID# and he said it was incompatible.

https://slickdeals.net/?adobeRef=d7fe48d4c02a11e89e9e728b6ce44b6a0001&sdtid=10235008&sdfpid=294964&s...
That pack comes with 3 SIM cards. All three are Sprint SIM cards and all 3 will work on compatible phones. Your phone should be compatible with 1 of the 3 SIMs and you have to follow the wiki and link to Ting to figure out which SIM is the compatible 1. Put that SIM into your phone and call Sprint and give them the SIM and your phone's number to start the service.

Well, there was a weird issue. For one of lines that I ported back to sprint for 2nd year, I was trying to use a new SIM card and gave telesales the new sim information. The sprint telesales keep saying the number is ported, but my phone always shows no signal.

Somehow, I put back the old sim that was on the plan before. Viola! I got lte signal and my number back.

Not really. Boost phones are generally ineligible for use on Sprint postpaid.
"Unlocked for AT&T" probably means hacked to unlock GSM only..

That has nothing to do with it being a Boost sim card. There is no such thing as a Boost sim card. There are only Sprint-Boost-Virgin sim cards. You just got the WRONG sim card. ItYou would need the model number of your phone and we can tell you the correct sim card or better yet you can look it up yourself.

If you mean the Boost-Sprint 3 in one universal sim card kit, it has sims for all phones up to the recent iPhones. For the new iPhones, you need the new 4-in-one Boost/Sprint kit.
What's the new SIM card that works for iPhone Xs? I bought the iPhone X SIM from Twigby assuming it will work with Xs

It won't.

You need SIMGLW416TQ (see edog11's posts for more detail).

Hopefully Twigby will have it soon.

Yes there are exceptions.
Brand new unactivated Boost Moto phones are often going on ok.
Also some iPhones SE's fell in that category earlier but I believe that loophole was closed.
Or if they serve out 12 months on Boost.

But not normal Boost phones sold on EBay usually, would you agree?

But this poster may be only having a sim problem in his case, I do not know....

You need sim ending in 416TQ or 516TQ. The 516TQ is available in the new sprint 4 in 1 BYOD kit.

it doesn't need to be last gen. iPhone 6/SE would be fine.
Which iPhone 6/SE models are compatible with Sprint?

I agree
I understand the f*king Sprint FED thing... I don't know why this user has SIM issue...the Boost phone has compatible SIM in already, it might get blacklisted the SIM....but it is rare the phone not on the blacklist, but SIM...
