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.

You are right that 416Q was for the X.

If you read across the line for the new phones, either 516TQ or 416TQ is fine. Sprint usually sells 516TQ but Apple uses 416TQ.
ahh..i see..got it...

but i am confused...you say there is 1 disadvantage of fully unlocked version,,,yet u recommend i get it..

btw...i am getting the xs..and dont worry about coin...is costing me ~$160 only....
finally i am with S last 20 + years..i am not planning on going anyway...unless S & TM merge, etc
Below is the link to read over in terms of what I was referencing. Long story short, the missing band is not something that will hurt your service to want to own an iPhone. Separate but related, I agree that the XR is a great value... I happened to buy the XS because I was impatient.

That doesn't apply to iphone XS. There is no difference in the unlocked or sprint XS LTE bands, they are same model number. The XS maybe better than XR since XS supports 4X4 mimo. I just wouldn't trust sprint to unlock correctly since they have an esim and removable sim to unlock. Although I have not heard of any issues.

There are some unique problem Sprint has in Florida because of band conflicts at the international border.

While I was activating my sim, csr pushed me to buy the sprint drive. After spending 15 minutes, I agreed to it. Honestly I have no use for it. Later logged into my account and found that sprint drive order was waiting for my esign. I simply canceled it. Saved $7.5 in form of sales tax.

Most of the inventory is wiped out in many of the corporate stores. If you can find for iPhone 6s then I guess the deal is still good for you

2. Most here suggest getting the sim locally. and calling to activate.
3. Sure but you can just use your own SSN if you want unless it is already in use on Sprint. You do not have to get off TMobile completely.
Thank you so much for the response!

Probably he meant 416TQ.

Correct, the sim for the new iPhones is 416TQ or 516TQ.

BTW, the X is back in full production, not sure why. The XS is fine if your getting a screaming deal. I had the X but the XR and the XS Max or great with the bigger screens.

Made the switch from AT&T Prepaid today. So far so good in the NYC area, data fetching has been better, AT&T always seem to experience lag when loading content. Wi-Fi Calling became active on my S8 so this is the first time ever I have access to it (AT&T Prepaid did not support it). Kinda wish I still have Visual Voicemail. Apparently the Sprint app isn't available for unlocked S8 phones.

I'm curious how some people got the 50GB holiday hotspot. No option to add it in services though some people claim it is available even for the BYOD free year plan.

Overall the experience so far feels better than my Virgin Mobile days. Maybe the phone has something to do with it,
