Note: although it said you need to port in, I was able to checkout by getting a new #. So probably no need to port.

I learned from SD to get a Sim from ebay to port out from Sprint. I think it will serve the same purpose.
Go to eBay and search at&t phone port (2.49 + tax, I used empiremobi)
phone, account and pin numbers emailed to you

From other threads, there's something about this e6 that is different than others.

uhhh yeah? I think the $25 price point reflects that and no where was it mentioned that this was actually free free. You still have to trade in and also purchase 1 month of service

yes. fully compatible with att tmobile verizon sprint
Compatible and unlocked are two different things. I read this Visible e6 is locked or crippled on any network other than Visible. I had their ZTE Prime 7 and 10 and they did not work on At&t or T-Mo. The specs on this e6 are so low I fail to see the value, unless one is satisfied with Visible (I was not). YMMV.

Works fine on T-mobile, Sprint & Tello.

No, it's not. A bug between Moto and Sprint keeps it from getting data on MVNOs. This just confirmed as unchanged by Tello a week or so ago.

If it's been fixed, it's in the last week. I doubt it's fixed, and I doubt it will ever be fixed.
I activated my E6 from a previous deal with SIMOLW516TQ this week on the $4 Tello promo and I'm getting talk, text and data. The only issue I have is that the ring notification doesn't seem to always work when I call my number, the phone needs to be unlocked/awake to ring which is weird.

ETA: accidentally enabled the DND feature which caused incoming calls to not ring. So overall it works as expected on Sprint/Tello.

Does this e6 support T-Mobile volte?
Yes it does support VOLTE. After T-Mobile's announcement of VOLTE requirement for 2021 it I tested it on all my phones to see if they work. The e6 definitely works with VOLTE.

The previous free Visible phone ZTE Blade 10 Prime does not support VOLTE though.

First month $25 promo ends on 9/30/3020. With current promo second month will be $40 and with party pay $25 for all unlimited.

Along with Chase, Bank of America Credit card is also having $20 credit for Visible which ends in few days.

I don't see any port out numbers for that low on ebay. Do you have a link to one? The cheapest I see is like $6.

Been using "visible" Moto e6's on other networks since the last big deal on these 6 months ago. Some I had put on Visible (VZW) network then ported out. Others I just took it out of the box and to Sprint and TMO. No locking. But you should know that about Visible phones in general.

Phone specs are very entry level. But what do you expect for basically the cost of a 10 year old MSRP $5 tracfone in exchange?

For me I used a handful of them 6 months ago for hotspot purposes so I could ditch cable company for a month and then sign up as a new customer, saving me $60 or so a month for many years to come.

I then used them as place holders for Sprint $300 BYOD per line deal, and used the numbers I got from the Visible deal as well as the port ins.

Have also bought BB sprint unlocked phones and put the sim in these e6's instead to complete the deal, so I didn't have to worry about phones bought being locked for 50 or now 40 days.

For now, Post S/TMO merger, with the ridiculous phone deals slowing down, I have put these e6's to pasture somewhat. Still use 2 as hotspots rather than burn battery life of flagships. Letting the youger kiddos use some of these as wifi Duo callers during the pandemic. And of course I always have a couple as backups for all the above. I'm sure at some point I will go VZW BYOD deal and use them again.

Point is, we all know these are some of the most most basic phones out there. But they are universally unlocked, and are very handy for many uses. But if you just want to trash their specs, I guess you don't get the big picture anyways. . .

Used these things for everything from home hotspot (a handful of them) for a month so as to lower my cable bill by $60 a month for life, needed IMEI's for Sprint $300 BYOD's and the needed Visible port in numbers for that deal, even as wifi only Duo callers for the younger kiddos.

Sure I will use them again for a VZW etc. BYOD deal if they make it MC/Visa again.

Point is, spec wise the phone bites. But it's saved/made me enough to buy several flagships. . .

And if you can't find a good use for them, just sell them NIB for much more than you invested (with or without using the IMEI for other purposes first)
