I have a cheap little boost mobile 3g smartphone. I tried activating it on my sprint account, and it took it.  When did they start doing this? I know when i first got it, sprint wouldnt let me activate it on postpaid.

 

 

Weird it is now giving me errors saying to bring it in store now for an esn Swap...Wonder why it worked the first time.

If this is legit, this is a pretty huge deal.

 

The inability to do this has always been a bit of an issue IMHO, and Sprint haters like to mention it.

Also if anyone has a Virgin mobile device, try it out for kicks, and post results here. Curious to see if This is a sign of things to come!

If it is a Virgin Mobile device that has already been activated at least once before, then it is not really a virgin mobile device -- if you know what I mean.

I always thought Boost and Virgin Mobile were not able to be activated on Post paid, same thing with Sprint Prepaid. lol Unless I missed something lol

It was a very rare error and that is why you are being told to swap your ESN. Currently no handset on any of Sprint's prepaid brands can be used on postpaid. I honestly don't see them changing that anytime soon.

It doesn't count if you just open the back to get the number

 

Is that how you treat your phones?  Get inside her back, then ask for her number.  But I bet you never call her again.

      Interesting, I saw this too on my AT&T S22 while roaming on US Cellular. I thought it was an Android bug since CellMapper was doing the same thing (didn't get a screenshot of that one). N66 makes more sense than N1.

      Thanks, that was good timing, I did see your report as I was buttoning up this latest update and added an override for that.. did it not work?   Ok, was that on AT&T also? Please send a report if you happen to see it again and safely have the opportunity. You can always do the long-press on the fly and then send a later one with an explanation pointing to the earlier one.. your username is attached to the long-press reports, so it's not an issue.

      I sent a report in earlier, n66 reporting as n1. There should be two different reports, I couldn't find the button the first time so I just long pressed the connection type to send, then I remembered where it was. I put a note about the issue on the 2nd report. Both reports from me are for the same issue. Also, it might have been on a prior release but earlier this week I also saw n66 reported as n65 on the app. I was driving and wasn't able to send a report in for that one.

      One more SCP beta rolling out.. includes more bugfixes and minor improvements. Pending any major issues with this version, it will be released to the public within a few days. Thanks for all the help and feedback!

      Passed by the former Sprint site at 1184 60th St in Brooklyn last week and noticed T-Mobile took down all of the Sprint equipment but it looked like they installed some new cabinets so conversion is likely in progress.
