I attempted to use the deal. They ported my number over, but I never got service! After a week wasted with customer service pretending to be working on my problem, I'm switching back to Tmobile.

Sprint is worthless

Edit: I can't switch back because I don't have the 2FA for my sprint account (since I can't get texts!) so I lost my number for nothing

Hey thegreatkhan, are you my long lost father? Must be something wrong with your device dad.
Oh didn't notice this was a forum thread, first time posting. Your SN made it hard for me to find my post Big Grin I guess I'll update the situation.

They finally figured out the issue. My phone is from Canada, Sprint doesn't work on phones purchased in Canada. Maybe should be included in the clickdeals thread? This caused me a world of pain.

Before doing anything did you check your phone's imei # on Sprint's BYOD checker. Cuz that would be my first step.

So my free plan only has a month left. How do I go about porting it out and coming back for another 12 months? Is there a time limit before I can try again after I've been a customer?

Here is what I was thinking...

(I have fully unlocked Iphone XR)
1. Move Primary ATT service to Esim (internal SIM)
2. Port over some random # i have from FreeUp / H20
3. Try sprint Service (Via real SIM) (disable XR Esim some how on Iphone)

--- Anyone in this thread done something like this ---?

Thanks,

I did and it said I was good. They also checked my imei on the phone.

I guess now I need to consider if its worth buying a new phone for this plan...

I have a boost mobile phone. I am trying to check if it works on BYOD free plan. It is saying its already activated on Sprint. I know boost uses sprint network only.
Can I use that phone on Sprint BYOD free plan?

Only after a year on Boost if you bought it from Boost.

But you have to take it off Boost first to try the Sprint checker.

Or call Boost and they can tell you if they would lock you out of using it on Sprint postpaid..

Yes. Its locked to Boost mobile. I bought it from Boost only.
I remember someone told (long ago) we can use the boost phones on sprint.That is why I am checking.

Only if it has never actually been activated on Boost in some few cases (closed off now anyway mostly).

Once it has been activated on Boost, it will be NO GO because Boost will have locks all over it.

What was make and model number of phone. If Imei was in sprint database it should work. International phones are not allowed for Sprint but the Imei shouldn't have passed if international phone. If was an iPhone purchased in Canada then it may have passed but has wrong activation policy for US.

Yeah I think it has something to do with the policy. Apple's policy is not compatible with Sprint for phones purchased in Canada. It's an iphone 6.

My phone is pretty old, if I buy a new phone would I be able to plug in the SIM and have it work? They guy on the phone said that the plan would not work if my phone broke, but that was when he was pitching the insurance.
