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.

Try it first with a test phone. You can read the Wiki for ideas on how to do so.

According to DelightfulDeer153 the upc 760492044707 is actually the 4 in 1 sim kit. But i'm not sure if they are the same upc and sprint is just replacing the 3in1 with the newer 4in1. Or maybe a website error. Order online and find out which one you receive. Or maybe edog11 has some insight. He's an electronic pooch and can sniff these things out.
I'm looking at the "Bring Your Own Phone 4-in-1 Sim Kit" right now and that is indeed the UPC. I bought it a corporate store for $2.99. I'd call first because other stores didn't have it in stock. However, another store I went to initially did give me a free sim to try on my phone.

For anyone curious, I did the 12.1.1 update to my iPhone 10S last night, which gives Sprint users VoLTE. Call quality is EXCELLENT and data during my calls is a blessing. For less than $4 a month, this is a great deal.

Universal 4-in-1 kit at any Sprint Corporate Owned Store $2.99
OR individual SIM...506TQ or SIM...406TQ also $2.99
OR Boost 3 in one sim pack at Best Buy $9.99

but please try to support those who put a lot of effort into the Wiki by looking there first in general.

Thanks. Will update the Wiki.

Followed Wiki and went to closest apple store to get a free SIM and apparently, S9 SIM isn't compatible with any Iphone models or the store employee was giving me the bs. I was going to order online but thought would post in the forum.

Good - you did look at the Wiki - that is excellent.

You are right re non-overlap in this case with Apple!

Help Please!! (Thank you in advance).

I have two brand new, never used, unlocked Moto G6 phones that I'd like to register for this promotion. I plan on porting them over using Google Voice phone numbers. I apparently need an account number and a pin number. Does this mean I need to open an account with a prepaid plan (like Simple mobile) before I can start the One Year Free promotion with Sprint? Thank you!! Any and all help greatly appreciated!!!

On phone now. They try hard to keep you. My free service is good through January but I dont want to forget to cancel and get billed a month at full price as I dont use my Sprint sim anymore. The service in S Florida is terrible. They offered me a magic box and some thing you put in you car.

Did you also update the carrier settings after activating the IPhone XS on Sprint ? . I have already update iOS. But yet to update carrier settings, worried if the carrier settings would lock the phone to sprint ?

start with first checking if the phones are eligible.
to do that , dont open the phones. but locate the imei # on box.
then use a friends cell phone number that u know is not on sprint family of carriers

go to eligibility checker and input this inf
all u r doing is checking if the phone is ok

if that gives u congratulations notice

then we can work on step 2


note: the GV # are used so u dont have to create a in stead of a prepaid plan (like Simple mobile)

I called Sprint earlier, they checked the imei number and said they were eligible. I also checked online (per your suggestion) and it also said I am eligible.

I'm ready for step 2.

Thank you for helping me. I know it takes a lot of time. I appreciate it a great deal.
