Quote from AL9911 :
It is too late now. I was at the same boat as you with several lines but I didn't wait until the end of my plan (end of May 2019). I ported out one of my line at the end of March, then brought it back to Sprint for the extra year before the deadline (4/4/19) under my wife's SSN. At least now I won't have any problem porting the other lines.
It may be better to do the remaining lines ASAP out of an abundance of caution.

Some reps are starting to balk.

I'm working in some very rural areas lately, and can't do anything with my Moto x4 while roaming. No text, no data, no calls. Anyone with a Moto x4 have a fix for this? I did have data roaming off, but that wouldn't explain SMS and voice....I don't think. Except that's the only roaming setting I can find on this phone. I turned data roaming on now, but I'm in a town with native Sprint LTE. I'll probably find out tomorrow if anything has changed.

Oh, 2 more roaming settings. System Select is set to automatic. CDMA subscription set to RUIM/SIM

If it ends up that you get roaming data but no voice, you could use Hangouts to make calls.

Yes, I did that on Fri, using my $1 H2O trial in another phone as a hotspot. But it was late at night...boss didn't pick up, so I left a message. He sent me a text to my Sprint# that I received this afternoon when I finally got on Sprint native coverage. Not good. I'm actually doing simulated E911 testing for Verizon, and somehow reached a live 911 operator. We're supposed to get some info from the dispatch, and then call the boss to find out how to proceed when that happens.

I currently have two lines on my plans using pre-owned iPhone 6s Plus' bought from Boost Mobile and reSku'd to work on Sprint. Would I be eligible to unlock these phones after 50 days? Would the phones be considered as paid off? Currently selling on boostmobile.com for $170.

Probably so. Others have been able to get Boost phones unlocked in those cases where they have managed to get them onto Sprint postpaid.

Just for other people reading this, it is not certain that you can get Boost phones re-sku'd in general. I realize that you have already succeeded. In theory, this is not allowed while they have not satisfied their obligations on Boost. There seems to be a loophole for iPhones. I do not know why unless Apple requires it or records are all mixed up or some such.

One of my family members is traveling in Europe, and in my account I see int'l usage for that line whowing as: "257424/0 KB", and next to it there's a warning which says 'There's an unbilled premium service (such as Hulu), or an overage charge like international text/calls. Please chat with us to learn more'. I did a chat with CS, and they tell me there're no extra charges...anyone else had similar issues?

Remember calls are extremely expensive: 25 cents a minute.

Best do INTERNATIONALchat if you did not do that type of chat specifically.

Well, regardless of the chat, it is going to be 25 cents a minute for any calls.

Seems normal to display intl data that way, but as noted calls 0.25 per minute.

And...all seems to be fixed. After I turned on roaming data, I can call and text while roaming now. Strange, but whatever. I also did another PRL update, and what Moto calls "Update Device Config" (I think same as update profile). But I think it was simply turning roaming data on that fixed it all. It's a darn good thing, because I'm working in Wyoming next, and Sprint's coverage is almost all roaming in that state.
