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.

No international(dual sim or single sim) phones work on Sprint only US models. The Iphone Xs with e-sim(currently disabled) and Pixel 2/Xl (e-sim only on Fi) have dual sim capability(e-sim+removable sim) would work for Sprint.
Thanks, what about unlocked Galaxy S9 international?

Question, even if a Boost Moto G5 Play (purchased at Walmart and never activated during checkout) shows as ineligible on the IMEI checker is it worth calling to see if it can be activated. I'm not sure how reliable the checker is?

The checker is the Bible for the new phone.
(used phone is different situation, wrongly flagged etc.).
use the checker to validate before checkout and after checkout

that is false. Sprint might not white-list them.....
my LeEco MAX2 (dual SIM) works 3G/LTE on Sprint...
I can post the screen capture when I back to home

Our original Boost Mobile phones we bought at Walmart worked fine even though they showed as ineligible but we probably were lucky and got a rep who removed the flag from the phone to activate it. No guarantee that's a surefire method as it seems to depend on who you talk to at Sprint to activate phones.

Just unlocked a family member's iPhone SE (official unlock thru AT&T) and now the Sprint site shows it as compatible for the plan.

Called and spoke to a cute sounding girl in the Philippines but none of the SIM cards I got from the Sprint store were compatible, so I had to order a new set. Luckily, she waived the shipping fee.

Hoping this new kit will work! I'd really like to get the fam up and running.

This what I understand so far from this massive thread. Iphone XS max is not eligible as of now. And if I want to use this phone for this deal, Then

I have to find a compatible/eligible phone with Sprint
Make sure it is eligible on the Sprint website
Buy the sim for that specific phone
Activate it online
Call 8777 number and port the number from t-mobile (my case)
once everything is done smoothly (confirm online accnt details/plan details) onliine in few days
Then order specific SIM for the XS Max
and then call the another toll free number to swap device to new XS max(do this part 1 week after setting up the account.

Is this right, Am I missing anything?

What are quick/cheap options to get a eligible Phone for the first step (before swapping).

If you buy directly from Boost they will either require activation or the phone will be locked to Boost mobile and is not eligible for this Sprint BYOD promo. Buyer beware!
This may be true for the Boost stores, but not if you buy from Boost online or buy from somewhere like Best Buy or Walmart.

You were lucky buying 1 month ago, however, 5 moto g6 play models purchased directly from boost online and recently delivered, were DOA, all with a financial block. Others have confirmed the same financial block. Wally world is still working as of yesterday
