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.

When one year is up, the sprint most likely not exist any more and become part of T-Mobile or dead
You better hope they don't merge with Tmo. Or no more deals for you

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.
May I be the first to offer you a Merry Christmas

I just wanted to verify for those who said that the "loophole" for using a Boost Motorola G6 Play on this free plan had closed. It HAS NOT. I just now swapped out my current phone with the Boost Moto G6 Play. I called the telesales number 866 782 8777 and told them I needed to swap devices. I gave them the DEC version of the MEID and the ICCID of the sim that came with the G6 Play and made sure not to mention that it was a Boost or prepaid phone. Total time from start to finish was about 30 minutes. Everything is working including wifi calling and visual voicemail.

Didn't want to bother porting out since I don't care about the number, so I called in to cancel via CS. Hopefully they will actually do so.

It would be more helpful to tell us where you got your Boost Play 6 and when you got it to get a data point. My theory is that the G6 play devices from Boost Mobile directly no longer work. The one I tested from Walmart still was clear.

Just got my moto g6 play phone in the mail direct from boost mobile. I'm currently on the phone with the rep. They kept asking me where I purchased my phone as it was showing up as prepaid on their end. I just told them I purchased from an authorized retailer and bought it outright. Previously tried going the ebay route to unlock but all the sellers stated that the boost mobile g6 has a region lock and would not work in USA after unlocking.

TBD whether or not the rep can help me as I'm on hold with them waiting to talk to tech support. At least I got a nice one. 15 min and counting....

Get my Xs Max that's supposedly a paid-off Sprint model but I am not sure. Any of you guys with Xs/Max can tell me which IMEI you used to register with Sprint? Thanks

IMEI shows:
Swappa: financed
Sprint: Sprint service already activated - This phone has already been activated for Sprint service
Ting: Sorry, this phone can't be activated right now. This device has not reached financial eligibility
Tello: Oops! Your IMEI might not be correct or your phone is not Tello compatible

IMEI2 shows:
Swappa: ready to be activated
Sprint: <website don't give a response>
Ting: Great news! Your phone is compatible with Ting!
Tello: Awesome! Your phone wants to join Tello!

Just an update, the two SIMGLW416TQ SIMs I got from the Sprint store did not work and was giving the Telesales people an error saying invalid when trying to activate my XS Max but I agreed to have them send me a "compatible" SIM overnight shipped for $3 and waived shipping did successfully go through on their end. The one they sent me was the SIMOLW516TQ that has the mini, micro, and nano all in one kit.

Now I'm waiting on the port from FreedomPop to hurry up since it's been over 5 hours. For some reason I feel like it's gonna error out because Murphey's Law.

"supposedly paid-off Sprint" ?
From Where did you get this Xs Max ?

I'm willing to have a little more patience. Especially since I have five free lines for a year.
