Darn they only just sent me the sim and now it is worthless
Anyone has suggestions about what is the best deal on phone right now which I can use on this plan?
I got the plan but need to get a new device and not looking to break the bank..
Sprint branded (but universal which will work across all carriers after unlock) or fully unlocked phones are what I am looking at..
I was looking at Pixel 2 XL deal but its already sold out
Just now learnt from a post on this deal that latest flagships on other carriers wont work on Sprint either.

According to the rep I spoke you have 2 weeks to activate if you receive SIM after 4/4 so I think you wont have any issue.

The same date as the first line has.
Thanks, asking because I opened an account last year in April and got an end date of April following year. Added a second line in June and got end date of July following year.
Was wondering if that would still work and update my end date even though the first line has already expired.

That has not been the experience of most (if not all) others when adding additional lines to an existing account. When you look at plan details on the Sprint site dashboard, it shows different expiration dates for each of the lines?

You cannot, as Samsung does not enable BYOD across branded carrier models for 7 to 8 months after release of each new model.

Note 9 is still waiting, and S10 will be a long long time.

That is why neither of these is on the list and both will fail the IMEI checker!

If course you can use the factory-unlocked or Sprint models.
The list in the Wiki only indicates Special Edition Galaxy S9, S9+ Are you aware if those branded carrier models have been released? Thanks.

Right regarding other carriers GSM phones, not compatible.
You can simply do the eBay search "Sprint phones".
Open box, New Other, even Brandy spanking new in box. LG G6, G7, V35 plus, V40, Moto z2 Force, Z3. All Samsung S series.
All those mentioned will work great if they're Sprint variants.
Non Sprint Motos almost all will work as they are for any carrier, but no Native wifi calling.
Moto x4 is a perfect example of that. Works with any carrier.
The World my friend, is your oyster
Of course all eBay caveats apply. Check sellers creds, return policy etc etc
Edit2: I think you have to really try hard to buy a bad phone in 2019. They're all so good now.

You are looking at an old version.

The current version at https://community.sprint.com/t5/P...-p/1020211
correctly shows that all carrier-branded S9 are now eligible.

That has never been the case so I would double check.
You cannot do what you suggested. Everything like that has been tried 100 times.

That is completely consistent, because Special Edition (i.e Factory Unlocked) Samsung phones always are compatible from Day one, but Carrier Branded models cannot be moved to a different carrier for about 8 months after release, at the point where the BYOD brand-switching update is released by Samsung.

But all S8 and S9, branded and factory-unlocked, are now compatible and eligible anyway.

Ebay refurbished Pixel XL 128GB for $150. Add a 2 year insurance for $30 and it'd feel like you've win the power ball.
