Just purchased a Note 4 to replace the wife's G2 she unceremoniously dumped into the toilet.

Should be here tomorrow and the SIM will arrive today.

I've never swapped out/installed a SIM card or activated a device online.

Any advice you seasoned veterans can pass along?

 

The Note 4 was purchased through Swappa.

It's very easy. Just follow the instructions and you shouldn't have any problems. If you do, just call Sprint.

Adding VoLTE to a handset is not quite as simple as a willy nilly firmware update.  Yes, from a technical standpoint, a firmware update is all that is needed, since recent Qualcomm chipsets readily su

Sheesh, not this again.  Can we put the flagellation over SVLTE to bed once and for all?  Here are the issues: Single RF path was not as much of a "business decision" as it was an engineering choice.

Really simply remove backing to the phone. Remove battery, Insert Sim card. Go to Sprint website and input numbers asked for. Wait 5 minutes, install battery and power on the device.

Just looking to confirm the correct SIM is in hand.

Part#:  760492013536

Description:  SIMCARD LTEGSM 3FF USIM REMOV

 

If this is the correct SIM, we just need the Note to arrive.

 

Reading the past few pages, it appears as if the 5.1.1 release is somewhat imminent.

Thanks again for the help.

I might be wrong but if I remember correctly sprint sent me the same one for my note 4. This sim card end up being for an iphone. I visited the local store and they gave me one from an S-6. The part number  on mine is SIMGLW206R.

only thing I might recommend is taking it BACK (unless you got a wicked discount or had to had it now) since the new note 5 is expected to be announced august 15, and out august 2x..you'll have a substantial drop in value depending on features.  The new note 5 is expected to be the highest quality/spec android device for now.  

 

Downsides might be lack of exchangeable battery and possibly galaxy 6 style.  Glass/metal back, etc..

Pretty solid points, and I appreciate your opinion on the matter.

We're a best-value type of family.  We pay cash for our devices, and they don't have to be the latest and greatest.  The $400+ we saved by purchasing the Note 4 (which does everything a Note 5 will do) goes to paying for travel, which IMO, is way more fun.

 

To each their own, it's all good!

Just call sprint and they will send you another SIM. If the person gives you a hassle ask to talk to the disconnection department or the international department. They will send you one for FREE.

Phone been acting crazy now screen freezes random reboot. Just started yesturday had phone since nov. Anybody have these problemson 5.0 lolpop.

 

I had to go back to Kitkat.  Lollipop was just too horrible in so many ways.  The complete lockups and app freezes, along with the overall sluggishness, were just too annoying.  Kitkat is like my phone was new, again, in more ways than one.  Even with all my apps loaded back on, it is lightyears faster and more responsive.  Even my GPS problem, where it would constantly turn off when I had Kitkat, originally, is gone.  And, battery life is definitely better.

Just noticed the Note 4 is no longer listed on Sprint's site.

 

That's pretty crazy.  They still sell the LG G2, G3, and the Galaxy S5, but no Note other than the Edge?!?  How strange.

I'm downloading it too. It's 615MB so it's fairly large.

Just read a post on xda. This is indeed 5.1.1 update. People are confirming upgrade to 5.1.1

The phone seems much more snappier than before. Will need to use it through out the day to have a valid opinion on the update. But so far so good.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
