A couple of years back, one of the USA’s largest carriers, Sprint, introduced a BYOD plan in an attempt to create an all-inclusive environment. If you are unsatisfied with your current carrier, it might be the perfect time to switch to Sprint.
What is BYOD?
Sprint’s Bring Your Own Device (BOYD) service lets you bring your current device to the carrier’s network in a hassle-free and cost-effective way.
Special BYOD Offers
As it’s Sprint’s way of beating its competitors, you can expect some pretty sweet deals when you Bring Your Own Device into the fold.
As per Sprint’s website, you will save $10 mo./line on Sprint’s Unlimited Plus and Unlimited Premium packages when you bring your own phone.
If you bring an iPad or tablet, you will get Unlimited data for only $15/mo.
There’s a discount for Smartwatch owners as well, as you’ll get Sprint’s Unlimited Watch Plan For $10/mo if you bring it to their network.
Also, it is to be noted that you can’t get a prepaid pack under this service, with the carrier only allowing you the option of picking from any of its postpaid plans.

Before you take the leap, make sure your device is supported by the carrier.

Also, make sure all your devices are domestically unlocked and are from the United States only.
Also, where it is mentioned that you need a special version (in the case of Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, for example), which means fully unlocked special edition, your device won’t be compatible if you bought it from carrier (Verizon, for example) and then unlocked it.

Hi! I bought an iphone with the carrier Sprint USA -IMEI 356546102759778 and blocked on the network. It is paid and has no debts, but there is no Sprint network in Russia (there are other carriers in WCDMA -GSM networks in Russia and they are similar to the USA). Can you help or give advice on how to remove this block and at what price? The problem is that it is impossible to open the official SPRINT website from Russia (there is a blocking warning) and solve the problem. Thank you for understanding! I’m waiting for an answer. Nikolay.
