Anyone want to trade my Verizon iPhone 6s for their Sprint iPhone ? Looking to improve the quality of my Sprint service.
I thought the Verizon 6s has all the proper bands ...

They do, but an original Sprint phone is "optimize" to work better on the Sprint network.

You just can't. I spent numerous hours yesterday. BTW, their CS is SO much crap.

Any idea how to talk to an American agent? The regular agents  speak ZERO english.

I think that's incorrect. If the phone has all the proper LTE bands there is nothing else to optimize.

I have a line with boost mobile u pay 1 we pay 1 so it's basically 25 dollars per month for unlimited.

Should I change to the sprint free plan to save 20 bucks per month?

What happens next year when I can't get the boost 25 plan back...?
So I made the switch and it was actually an easy experience. First ported to a tmobile biz plan and 10 minutes later the number showed as ready and able for the free plan.
So then I tried online but said I needed to call so I did and they ran credit and asked if I had a sim which I did. Then activated and ported into sprint and am up and running.

If I activate it using the phone that matches can I right after pop the Sim in another phone, or will that not work?

Can't pop sims like that with sprint but you can call them to swap to a new phone.

Yes. Just confirm with them that they didn't touch ur free plan. It's an upgrade that is not allowed

Look here and you'll see that the Sprint model supports a lot more LTE bands than the Verizon one, so it may have LTE on either phone, but the Sprint version will likely work better on Sprint

It should, but confirm they aren't touching your plan.
