If u dont have the luxury of using a spouse name (lucky), consider swapping first , last name.

Hehehe -all Slickdealers have been active on Sprint at some point
Not me Smilie. Some of my siblings have been with Sprint for a long time, but they told me that Sprint coverage sucks so I had never signed up with them. I use Tracfone. Just signed up for this deal to get the rewards, I don't even care if the phones have no signal Smilie

My wife just opened an account, and I still havent closed my free BYOD from last year. Both of these accounts were credit checks, so from what I read in this thread we could open two more no credit check accounts but I wonder about the referral as it clearly says in the terms that we can't refer ourselves. Might have to ask parents or in laws if I can open an account for them.

I wasn't suggesting that you make up names. Some people use variations of their name (like William, Bill, Billy, etc) and the credit agencies note that in that person's file.

FWIW, I ported in an unlocked Visible Moto E6 on 3/14 and as of today it still accepts a Tracfone AT&T SIM and works (you don't need an active SIM for this test). Either Sprint likes me or Sprint hates "Ilovegoodeal" Smilie. Other people in this thread said their Sprint-branded phones that were unlocked by Sprint when they left Sprint got re-locked when they came back to Sprint; but their non-Sprint-branded phones were never locked by Sprint.
Quote from swammer :
Same here, I ported an unlocked Sprint iPhone 6 and have been swapping Sprint & Mint Mobile Sims, so YMMV if the phones will be locked again
My LG G8's were not locked after activating on a new account this week. I thought they were Sprint phones but I guess not, or something has changed. Model number is LM-G820UM, some websites say this is the Canadian version but I know its not because I'm on band 26 right now and the Canadian version doesnt have 26.

You don't need to change the name of the account/phone being ported out. I ported in 2 numbers from Visible and one from FreeUp. They didn't get ported in under the same names as on the old carriers. As long as you provide the correct phone number, acct #, PIN, Sprint doesn't care.

I've never had a problem porting a number with a different name on the account but I've never ported from Tmobile.

From my own experience, Sprint doesn't care if it is original sprint unlocked devices or non sprint origin unlocked devices.

it happens to all my friends, families and co-workers' unlocked devices through the last BYOB plan.
I didn't even know it was possible for a carrier to lock someone's factory unlocked phone...2 questions:

1) Like for example if someone bought a pixel directly through Google that was never locked in the first place, Sprint could lock their phone only to Sprint?....

2) What did you guys do that caused them to take such a harsh action?

are you asking how to port to Sprint or your Sprint phone will ring with your GV number?

if ring to your phone, just add your Sprint number to Google voice, text/SMS will be in GV app
