Yeah iPhone SE from TMobile does not support Sprint's high-speed band unfortunately:

"iPhone SE (Doesn't support 2.5Ghz LTE Band)"
I contacted them through chat and they refreshed something and after that I got 30 mbps. I was happy but after 5mins again I'm getting around 5mbps Frown

Unfortunately there is nothing they can do to add the missing high-speed band.

Thanks. I don't have h20 service so I don't have an acct. I am assuming that is the case for many folks here who are just porting the number away.

It gives an error and I click ok on the error pop up window...and sim number is still there in its box...should i just go ahead and submit the transfer request?

I hope some other folks who have gone through this can chime in so that I can avoid known headaches.

Thank you.
Yes just click it. But most of us have made an H20 account. We chose pay as you go so we don't need to fund it.

Thx. Let me go thru the steps and make sure I have it right.

For account, just click Sign Up on the main page, begin secure registration and hit register button at the bottom of the page.

Once you register, it will ask you which plan to select? Or were referring to select pay as you go plan on the transfer request form?

Once I register, I fill out the transfer request form (ignore the please enter valid sim number error) and hit submit button?

Anything else?

Thanks

No, only completely new accounts signing up today will get Jan. 2020.
Searched the thread, but missing - do the people who recently signed also seen "Save until 9/30/19" at the web-page? If yes, did the CSR over the phone confirmed 1/2020?
I've checked the BYOD page a few days ago and saw "31/1/2020", so a bit worried seeing 9/2019...
Thanks

Btw, if going with digital T-mobile ICCID from eBay, should we just call from any phone (Hangouts, Sprint)?
Looking to move non-eligible number to byodf over T-mobile

(1) Yes
(2) Usually yes. But they are ill-informed and are just about sales, not information. What they say has no effect on anything. They are only finally beginning to understand how the dates work on this plan.

To see your actual end date, sign on your account on the web and go to Manage Plan / See Details or open the MySprint app on the phone.

It will show your actual end of savings date, which is 1/31/2020.

Are you saying I can port my Google voice number? If so I'm game for a free line for a year.

Edit, 1mbps? That's pitiful.
Considering ATT Unlimited Plans going for 70-80 bucks a month with a speed cap of 3mpbs, I think sprint 1 mbps for free is a bargain.

I guess I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around that. I just ran a speedtest on my S9+ with T-Mobile and got 124mbps down and 40mbps up.

Anybody dying for hotspot service, I can recommend using PdaNET+. Tried it myself and it actually works. You have to download it to both the phone and the computer(s) you want to hotspot but the process is pretty straight-forward. You also likely won't find it in the Play Store as Sprint blocks it from showing up but you can apk it from their website.

http://pdanet.co/install/

Another thing is that this only works for Android phones. Don't think they have an iOS version. There's some limitations like the hotspot gets turned off after a certain amount of idle time and the hotspot name changes every time you use it on certain phones. Feels bootleg but something is better than nothing.

Not sure I understood your question. It was a new line so it came with sim inside the phone. I have verified that the phone isn't carrier locked
All Pixel phones can use nano SIM cards. Pixel 3 phones can also use eSIM with Telekom.de or Project Fi. ... If you buy a Pixel 3 or Pixel 2 phone on the Google Store: In the U.S., you can pick no SIM card or a pre-inserted Verizon SIM card.

Only if you got the AT&T iPhone X via BestBuy or another retailer than supplies the universal model for all carriers including AT&T. If you got it directly from AT&T, it will be the Intel chip model that did not support Sprint's bands.

Quoting https://community.sprint.com/t5/P...-p/1020211 :

"iPhone X (T-Mobile/ATT Models not supported)"

You can check the model number on your phone or test the IMEI in the Sprint checker..

Just in case you or someone else does not know, you can press the WPS icon on the phone connected to Sprint that is serving as "hotspot". Then select "connect to PDANet hotspot" on the other Android phone or Windows laptop that you want to connect to the hotspot. (This second phone/laptop needs to also have PDANet+ installed). That way you do not have to bother with hotspot name or password.

It will time out after half an hour if you have not paid for it.
