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.

We have seen that with some very old phones.

Just out of curiosity, was yours in that category?

Presumably the checker was never updated for some of them after Sprint modified it to take IMEIs..

They may be potentially compatible according to
https://forums.androidcentral.com...rizon.html

but I did not see anyone who had succeeded in activating a Verizon Note 5 on Sprint.

It probably would not work even if you could get someone to whitelist it because Sprint needs a custom Sprint activation package to be on the phone..

I had digital T-mob SIM activated and had a number assigned. I ported out that number to Sprint.

I have seen several posts where people have reused this digital T-mob SIM.

I need to reuse this SIM to port out Sprint line. When I call T-mob again, do I tell them to activate this SIM again? I am assuming the SIM was deactivated when the number was ported out?

Just want to make sure what to say when I call into T-mob prepaid number.

Please let me know.

Thx

I don't see h20 SIM for 1c on Amazon. They all charge $1.99 shipping. Amazon has it as an addon. Target has it for $1.99.

Question, I have four lines in this plan. Can I only port out one of the lines? Will it cause trouble for this FREE plan for the rest of three lines?

You don't have to talk to anybody. You can use their online portal which is linked in the wiki. See FAQ #1

Thx. So it seems there is no way to get around $3+tax funding to port in the number.

The other question still stands. Is the previously used digital SIM now considered deactivated and needs to be reactivated for the new acct and to port the number in?

Thx

The customer care call to purchase the sim was answered by a call center lady in Philippines. She was so hell bent on selling me a 'Sprint drive' device and subscy, I literally had to tell 'pls stop the discussion and just order me a sim'
