I have the ugdp from vzw so I thought I would try Sprint. I asked the store rep if there is anything I would not get with Sprint that I get with Verizon. I brought in my vzw note 8 and my intl note 9 and they said they'll both work on the network. I happily ordered their best plan with the $12 ins. The fantasy was quickly over. YOU CANT USE APS THAT REQUIRE DATA WHILE ON THE PHONE. I cancelled my service, thank God I didn't port

As not to confuse others the international note 9(or any international phone) are not approved/whitelisted by Sprint.
Many know sprints limitations on data and voice at same time. It is always good to research when switching carriers, especially if you won't be able to get your old plan back.
Sprint store/online reps just want to sell and give wrong information many times.

According to
https://s4gru.com/forums/topic/78...ity-chart/
you need 516TQ or 416TQ
(same as the new Apples)
so you would need one of those or the new 4 in 1 universal sim packs from any corporate-only Sprint store
(not the old 3 in 1 sim pack from Beat Buy).

and lots of good info on this phone on Sprint.

Apparently it DOES support Wifi Calling and HPUE which should make it a great phone for Sprint.

How can I get this deal without an SSN?
I'm an international student and will be here for the next 3 years, but not yet eligible for the number.

You convince someone with an SSN to get this awesome deal, then put you on their line and pay them each month lol. My cousin just came here from Vietnam and got an SSN but no credit...they of course couldn't find any credit history and said there's nothing they can do. So without a credit score, there is nothing they will do.

You can use an ITIN instead but I think they will want to see some credit history showing up on on it.

Get an ITIN and open a cash-funded credit card with it immediately using it and start using the credit card to buy things to build a credit history and maybe a few month of that will be enough say three months from now if this offer is still going (which it may be)..

I don't currently have either ITIN or SSN, planning to open an investment account to be qualified for ITIN but it would go with the next tax season which is next year (correct me if I'm wrong), but I do have credit history with my Experian score in the excellent range. I have a letter from Amex to proof the claim if needed. For the credit side, it is possible to look up credit history from just name, address and date of birth is enough for a search, so I wonder if it is possible to get the package without the number.

Call the Sprint credit department directly at 800-639-6116 and ask. They can approve the new account if they want to.

If you cannot get an answer we know other contacts.

But file for the ITIN NOW! You need one to even open a bank account, never mind an investment account! You can have one in a few weeks. Look at some articles on the Internet on how to get it quickly. You need it BEFORE you open the bank or investment account - not after.

That's good and that's what I said isn't it?

"516TQ or 416TQ"

But sure that was a good way to tell them how they would think of them by their most common use category.
