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.

Can someone answer my question? I just signed up service using an iphone se ported from tmobile. My account now says i can add more lines to this accnt without credit check. My question is can i bring my note4 thats been on tello over to sprint? The phone is a sprint only phone, meaning it does cdma only. I friend said maybe porting my google number with the note 4 (deactivate from tello) might work.
At the very least it would require flipping off the mvno flag which is complicated . Search on LiterallyUnlimited in this thread for more info.

We sometimes go through long exchanges explaining all the steps needed and then the person says it is not worth the trouble. So I am not sure it is worth our trouble either.

You cannot activate an iPad on the free plan - that was an old old error that got corrected immediately.
I just put in the IMEI number of the iPad and it was accepted....is that good news?

You can activate or add it but it will not be free.
Call TeleSales 866-782-8777 to verify or for details if you want.

Their system knows the model from the IMEI and will display it for them with the appropriate pricing to quote to you.

Not one single person has ever reported getting an iPad on this plan for free.

Sprint note 4 is not CDMA only. It has sprint LTE bands 25,26,41. You would have to deactivate from tello and.get PLBL flag changed to SPCS.

So, I couldn't make any of my existing phones to work (eligibility) and had to bite the bullet in buying a new one from them directly to get BYOD plan. I thought this was safest route in making sure it was compatible. I ended up paying little over 100$ for LG Tribute Dynasty - which was the cheapest phone they had available. Not sure if it's a decent phone for 100 bucks, any feedback?

Also, after activation, can I easily change to IPhone 6 I have and possibly return LG in the store? Not sure if it's just SIM card change from one phone to the other or more complicated process.

If your iPhone 6 isnt eligible now, why would it work later ?

My IPhone 6 is a sprint phone (on post paid network currently) out of contract and unlocked device which is why I was thinking I can switch to it after I cancel that plan.

You could do worse - at least it will support all Sprint features.

If you let the store touch your plan by activating your phone, check that you still have the free plan.

Did you do it separately on each phone?
