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.

Swappa and from the IMEI checkers, IMEI is financed but IMEI2 is read to activate. I cannot find a clear answer to which IMEI is the SIM card
IMEI2 is digital/virtual. You cannot use it for now.

Where did you get the phone from ?

I am seeing some of the same phones on the eligible list as the not longer eligible list! I want to use a Pixel XL. Can someone confirm if this phone is eligible-- it is on both list.

Man, this is WAY easier than it was a few months ago when I got my first two lines. Got a CS rep in the US (that was my first surprise -- definitely not the case last spring) and he got me ported over and set up in about 20 minutes -- with no pressure to get a protection plan or anything silly.

The biggest hassle was getting ported out of Tello into TM prepaid. I got a virtual SIM from eBay (these are down to under $3 now), but the stupid TM prepaid site is just glitchy as he!!. Finally got it to go through on my 3rd browser and much use of the back button. Oh, TM account numbers are def NOT 1+PhoneNumber anymore. They're assigning 9 digit, random numbers that you'll see on the confirmation page and in your "Welcome" email.

Oh, I should also mention I didn't need to have the "flag" flipped even though the phone was coming from Tello. I thought that was odd...but as soon as I ported to TM both the device and # showed as eligible on the BYOD site.

This free plan is actually a lower tier from Unlimited Basic. The free plan omits the hotspot feature and free Hulu. You can upgrade to higher levels of service, but you'll then pay full price.
are those the only differences?

Swappa so I am covered but it looks like the seller use IMEI2 (eSIM) to get pass Swappa's IMEI checker. He is selling another identical phone so I guess he jumped on the 2-year EIP = free phone deal and is getting rid of the phones he got

You can port from any non-Sprint based carrier

You can run your phone number + phone IMEI on promo website to check compatibility

Probably because it's still locked to Total Wireless. They lock them down tight for 12 months.

My year is ending this month. Going to port to Mint for 3 months and try to port back to sprint for another free year. Service isn't great, but free is nice. Speeds and connection are average in my city, but as soon as you start to leave town it goes to shit.

the point i am making is that ur question and many many like that have been asked 1000s of times.

so much that some kind helpful folks here have posted the answer is in wiki

is the ~5th line

so if u truly have read the wiki and read it twice and still did not see it then perhaps u need to read a 3rd time..or simply pass on this deal,..

Quote from Rolanda_Shaniqua :
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.
Will this work with a used Boost Mobile G6 Play that was previously activated on Boost network?
