iPhone 6 BYOD activation
I bought a iPhone 6 from Best Buy. It came new, unlocked, and with a Verison sim. I passed the MEID check and went on to ICCID but it just kept loading, so I bought a sprint sim and passed the ICCID check. I activated the iPhone 6. It is shown on my account as an iPad and I still have no service. I called customer/technical support and he said I had to change sim cards, in luck I had an extra sprint sim at home so we imputed it. This time no error came up but I still didn't receive service. I don't know if the tech people are working on it or not because I didn't receive an email or a call back yet. I also know that FreedomPop doesn't officially support the iPhone 6 but it passed the MEID and ICCID checks so I hope it works out. It would also be great for FreedomPop if this works, because it will open the iPhone 6 to many potential BYOD users. I hope that listing the admins names will get their attention for this matter. @Britknee_ @KathyFP @JasmineS @Jorge M @FreedomPop @K_Ber @Taylor

For your iPhone I would suggest you go to an Apple Store to get a new Sprint SIM card for free. You probably got an incorrect card which is why it wasn't working!
Also on the back of your iPhone does it say A1549 or A1586? The model number is specific to activation.
Look at the SIM section in the first post here:

It is a Sprint phone and since the 6 is supported now I was hoping it would work.
I'm interested in getting a Plus but I'm very hesitant to spend over $500 on a phone when right now FreedomPop refuses (yet) to provide the details on BYO for the iPhone 6.
On a side not I've been looking at ringplus, they at least have PDF with instructions on what to buy, which is a Unlocked (no carrier) iPhone, and they sell SIM cards to match the phone. That at least sounds more professional. (The sell iPhones but they are expensive and they don't tell you how many gigs they are.)
