Oh I didnt see v20 listed I would prefer to keep my v30 with metro for true unlimited data and move my v20 to sprint if this is indeed possible.
I am using v20 now on sprint. But it is a sprint version.

My free year of BYOD is up. My new job gives me a free phone line but I cannot port my number to it., However, I want to keep my current phone number that I have been using on Sprint "stored" somewhere for future use. Where can I port out my number from Sprint to do this for free or inexpensively?

Here are the V20 models:

https://www.techwalls.com/lg-v20-...fferences/

You are dreaming in technicolor if you think a GSM model is going to work on Sprint.

Unless it shows CDMA you would not even be able to make a voice call.
And even if it does show CDMA you need Sprint specific CDMA including voice band BC10. You also need LTE bands 25,26 and 41..

People are just wasting their time looking into whether xxx GSM model will work on Sprint. The answer is NO unless it is on the list at https://community.sprint.com/t5/P...-p/1020211

I believe there has never been a single instance in which a GSM-only phone has been allowed on Sprint, or for that matter a generic CDMA phone lacking Sprint's unique bands.

In the other hand, the SPRINT model of any phone (including V20) is fine of course, but these are usually not listed because they do not need to be and because Sprint is looking to attract customers of other carriers.

Anyone port in a Freedompop # and still have problems with certain apps like Uber? I was never able to use Uber or some other apps with FP but if that # is now in the Sprint DB, will it no longer come up as VoIP?

Because you signed up online (contrary to the advice in the Wiki).

It is an activation fee.

It's all outlined in the Wiki and on the Sprint page.

You should get a credit for the $30 in 2 billing cycles or you can chat or call and get the credit sooner.

Then you can use up the credit over time.

Correct - it will come up as a regular number now (no longer VOIP) and your problems are gone!

For a one-time $20 fee, port your Sprint number to Google Voice & forward that line (manage via your Gmail account) to any phone.

Another GV cool feature-
if you purchase a Obi200 interface, you can use your number for a free home phone also.

Thanks but I don't need actual cellular service as I now get it free from my employer. I am just looking to park my number since I have had it for years. Looks like GV is the best option for $20. I was hoping there was a free option but I guess not.

What is your question?

Couple questions if anyone knows the answers.

Is there a length of time, that the number being ported in, has to have been active? Basically, I have a Verizon account I could add a line to, so if I were to add a new line, could I then port that new # to Sprint a day later? Or if I activated a prepaid service for 1 month, could I port that # over immediately?
Also, anyone used an LG V20 to signup for this plan? My friend has a V20 Sprint phone he doesn't use and will give to me if it will work on this plan. The Sprint community page where the updated list is won't load for me, so figured i'd ask here.
You can port in a 5 minute old number as long as you have the account number and pin number.

I regret I have not done it earlier. Every time I experience bad connection, I remember that my bill is only $20 for 5 lines and my old ATT was $300 and I had problems with ATT too.
