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.

What would be the correct next steps for the swap ?
Obtain the correct Sprint SIM at Apple Store.
Then you just Login and swap to your 6s via Chat.

I have a line currently on iPhone 5s, and I would like to swap to an ATT iPhone 6s (inactive). I put the IMEI of iPhone 6s and a dummy phone number to the checker and it shows the phone is eligible, but if I put in my current sprint phone number (instead of dummy number) hen it says the phone is not eligible. What would be the correct next steps for the swap? Thanks in advance for your help.
You can just login to your on-line acct and attempt Activate/swap device from the menu. It'll ask for your iPh6 IMEI and you should be able to use existing SIM. You might get lucky and It'll all complete right their. Worst case, it'll fail and you can then use the Chat feature to have a rep do it for you. I have literally done tens of these over the past year and across 2 accounts. Once you're on the plan, then it is totally fine to use Customer Care. I'm pretty sure even the wiki says this

From the Wiki:

Device Upgrades (you can still "swap" a device that you buy separately)

When can I upgrade to a new phone on this promotion?
Upgrades for lines activated on the FREE Unlimited plan will be allowed after 120 days of service. Any upgrades prior to the 120 days will require a plan change to the Unlimited data, talk and text plan. Unfortunately, you'll lose the remaining free months in your year of free service.


So, people mention the Moto Z2 Force which could have been had for $120 as an upgrade through Sprint; or additionally through a 3rd party for $120 with immediate activation, or $160 with activation later. As a new subscriber to this plan (less than 120 days), could someone please clarify what I could do without losing my Free Plan Status if these offers were to magically reappear today.

Thanks.

OK, Thanks. So my only option in the above scenario would be to buy the phone for $160 through the 3rd party for activation later.

Has anyone tried switching iPhone 7 Plus from AT&T. ?

In listing it says only iPhone 7+ from Verizon can be transported. So I need confirmation before I pay off AT&T and move to Sprint.

Thanks!

agree. u r wrong. LOL.

my math is based on actual numbers. the note 9 is $999.99 (+tax).

in any event. best of luck.
I agree with you. It seems he thinks he is going to own the phone after he makes 12 lease payments then the additional 6 lease payments will buy out the lease and he'll own it.

To fully own a leased phone will cost 18 lease payments PLUS the buyout option, not 12 plus 6. If it's an 18 (or even 16) month lease, that number of payments only satisfies the full lease terms and like everything else, you don't own it at the end of the lease unless you pay extra for the buyout.
