What SIM card can you put in a Sprint phone?

As reported by Light Reading and confirmed to The Verge, T-Mobile has committed to a June 30, 2022 shutdown date for Sprint’s LTE network. It’s an expected move as T-Mobile continues to absorb Sprint’s network and customers into its own base, and comes six months after its contentious planned January 1, 2022 shutdown of Sprint’s 3G CDMA network.

A third of Sprint customers have already been moved onto the T-Mobile network, according to T-Mobile. The company expects to be able to migrate the remaining two thirds by that mid-2022 deadline, according to CFO Peter Osvaldik’s remarks at an investor conference last month. Some of those customers will likely need new devices that are compatible with T-Mobile LTE and VoLTE, though the company has had no shortage of enticing 5G phone offers lately. T-Mobile says it will reach out to all customers who will need a new SIM card or device to stay connected, but if you’re curious whether your device is compatible you can run an IMEI check on T-Mobile’s website.

T-Mobile hasn’t been shy about moving quickly to consolidate Sprint’s network assets with its own

The Sprint LTE network shutdown doesn’t come as a shock — by Sprint’s own admission the network wasn’t very good to begin with, and T-Mobile hasn’t been shy about moving quickly to consolidate Sprint’s network assets with its own. The company’s 3G shutdown timeline has been the source of a lot of bad blood between T-Mobile and Dish Network, which acquired Sprint’s former prepaid business Boost Mobile as part of the merger deal.

The relationship has soured to the point of Dish announcing that it would take the majority of its MVNO business to AT&T — which T-Mobile followed with a promotional offer directed at Boost customers. Boost had no additional comments to share about the potential impacts of the LTE shutdown on its customers when contacted by The Verge.

Are you still using a Sprint SIM card in your phone? Have you been ignoring the texts and calls asking you to change over to a T-Mobile SIM card? If so, it looks like your delay will soon get you a few bucks in bill credit.

The “T-Mobile Network Experience”, or “TNX” for short, is what T-Mobile calls the process of changing out a legacy Sprint customer’s SIM card for a T-Mobile one. This process changes the network those customers connect to, and allows them to take full advantage of the T-Mobile towers and bands.

T-Mobile has been urging customers still using Sprint SIM cards to “TNX” their lines for over a year now. Employees at T-Mobile stores were even given bonus perks for getting a customer to change over to a Sprint SIM. With Sprint’s LTE network set to retire at the end of June, it’s now more urgent than ever for those customers to change their SIM cards.

According to a document shared with us here at The T-Mo Report, embedded below, targeted Sprint customers who still haven’t TNX’d their lines will be offered a $10 bill credit per line to switch to T-Mobile SIM cards.

That means a Sprint account with 6 lines still using Sprint SIMs, for example, will receive $60 in bill credit if the customer changes out all 6 SIM cards to T-Mobile ones.

In order to qualify for the bill credits, all lines on the account must be TNX’d. This means if there’s one person on a family plan that isn’t willing to change SIMs, you won’t be eligible for any bill credits at all.

The offer starts June 30th. Customers that complete the TNX process on all their lines will receive a text message confirming their pending bill credits. The promotional bill credits should be distributed within 1-2 billing cycles.

Can I put a T

In general, a SIM-equipped Sprint phone will have to be unlocked before it can be used with a T-Mobile SIM.

Eligible Sprint customers can now take advantage of the full T-Mobile network with a simple SIM swap. Your Sprint account remains the same, with the same price, plan and billing experience, but now you'll access the T-Mobile network as your primary network.
