Yes, It’s True! Google Pixel Works on the Sprint Network Too!

Don’t get fooled into thinking Pixel only operates on Verizon’s network. Sprint has tested and certified Google Pixel on the Sprint Network – it works great!

  2. Buy a SIM kit online at www.sprint.com or visit a Sprint store near you.
  3. Choose any Sprint rate plan and activate your device by bringing it with the SIM kit to a Sprint store near you or call 1-866-275-1411.

\It’s that simple. You can activate Google Pixel and lots of other unlocked devices on the Sprint Network including iPhones, iPads, Nexus devices and more. . Bring your own device and take advantage of a variety of amazing Sprint offers including 50 percent off most competitor plans and the best price for unlimited data plans.
