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.

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.

Quote from Iolaire :
This time the Sprint website actually worked for activation! I just started the phone switching process and plugged in the new phone's number and the old sprint SIM's numbers and it activated the new phone! In a few minutes I got the service update complete prompt and the phone worked! Sprint didn't even require me to verify the online account via text message like normal. It was nice to have the self-service website actually working, especially since tons of people are activating new iPhone models and I assume the hold times are bad for everyone.
I did an IMEI swap by chat this morning, and it was also very easy. It seemed like the responses were all automated, instead of a real person typing them. Oddly, they did not ask for the sim number, but I was using the same one so maybe that was why.

MOTO PLAY ALERT

FYI, anything now purchased directly from Boost shows this on Swappa:

Blacklisted Not Indicated
This device does not appear to be globally blacklisted.

FinancedFinancial Eligibility
Device is not eligible for resale (financed).

These cannot be used on Sprint

credit goes to aviseqdas for a heads up
My Boost Moto phone is getting delivered tomorrow. Will find out if it works. If not, I will have to return it.

I successfully added my xs max to the plan, the sprint checker won't work with new release phone, i think. Go to apple store and ask for a sprint sim card. Then, you can swap to your new iphone via chat or add new line by calling sprint promo number.
Did you swap the old phone with the XS max or did you call and port in a new line ?

had a freedompop number, and a galaxy s9+ - thought i'd give this a try. I have excellent credit, so was odd that the system said that they could not figure out my credit (yes, i read the wiki about others having this issue) - call the number they had when it failed... got some telesales person, who said that my freedom pop number is not eligible as it's a prepaid, not a post-paid.

Before i waste my time calling in again - can i use a freedompop number? according to the wiki i can - but has anyone else done this?

thanks.

Just to confirm, you called the promo number, port in a new line using IMEI of the XS MAX even though it says ineligible and they still allow that ? Did they say anything?

I'm in. I have an iphone 7plus. I had to call, and they even waved the $10 shipping fee for the sim card. I only had to pay $3.23 for the sim card.
I did ask about a contract, and there is no contract, no minimum time to stay with Sprint. I can cancel after the free year. I just hope the service is good, I've been with Verizon for the last 15 years.

not sure i understand th question:

but the port to TM is phone number only.
u dont need to have a phone capable of being used with TM

once the phone number is ported over to TM, that will "release" the ip7 from any account on S

now, assuming the ip7 was good to port in 1 year ago, it should be eligible to port in now as well (after u have moved the line to TM)

u have read the wiki, i suggest u re read it again on the part u r interested so as to avoid any pitfalls along the way

Have 2 free lines ending this month -- ported out one line to TMo prepaid yesterday (will do 2nd line later)

Was going to call in to signup for free year again under family member but decided to risk it and order online for chance at $100 cash back -- ordered service using BeFru cash back portal (clicked the cash back link a few times before ordering)

2.99 SIM + 0.31 tax + 10.00 ship = 13.30 total

Cash back was pending 15 mins later -- 3 month wait to see if they actually pay out

Date: 26-Sep-2018
Store: Sprint
Order Total: $2.99
Cash Back: $100.00
The retailer has verified your Cash Back purchase. The estimated payable date is 25-Dec-2018.

Nice move. Spend $13 and possibly getting $100 is a nice bet.

Wiki It says iPhone 7 (Verizon) as if only if you were just with Verizon? I would be porting it from T-Mobile.
That is on the list of usable phones.
