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.

Ok, and I assume you picked the "activate later" option, and bb didn't activate it for you on any carrier? From what I understand it has to be the android one model xt1900-1. I'm not too familiar with this so I'm sure someone here may chime in?
Also run the IMEI here at Ting and let us know what it says?

Moto x4 should be unlocked. While checking on Sprint's eligibility checker use the imei # of your X4 but this time try using a friend's phone number whom you are sure is not on Sprint or a Sprint mvno. If it comes out eligible that means your phone number is not eligible. What carrier are you using right now?

Did you choose the Activate Today (Sprint) option and pay $99? That would obviously be a perfectly understandable thing to try! However, if so, Sprint is most likely going to claim that offer does not work with this plan. I would not side with them on that, but that is most likely what they will claim. That may be misleading advertising by Best Buy and Sprint if so, and maybe you can do something about it, I would agree.

On the other hand, if you paid the full $199, then most likely there is a mixup over that that can be fixed up. Best Buy should be able to help.

Same thing happened to me in last Sunday when I requested for BYOD free plan with Sprint $99 activation for Moto G6. They clearly told free plan is not available in BB right now and BYOD with $25/month kick start plan only available for $99. I denied for $25 plan and purchased with full price. Called Sprint CC and they placed SIM Order for me and I will be getting it today evening.

So you plan on putting it on this free plan. Did you test the IMEI on the checker? Review the wiki for lots of good info.

Yes. I tested the new Moto G6 IMEI on the checker and it was showing eligible to activate. Received Sprint SIM today and activated through Customercare team instead of online. $30 waived off and $5 recurring charges which will be waived off through auto pay.

Wiki is very helpful. Thanks OP and other big shots who are giving ideas throughout this thread. ApplauseApplauseApplause
