The bands that the Pro 1 uses doesn't mean much if they block you from using their services.

Also, what do you mean by which SIM card? Are you talking size?

No not size, sim card model. Every phone registered on the Sprint network typically has a sim (ICCID chip) for LTE coverage. They have cards that work with multiple phones, but cards are not interchangable. Ex: pixel 1 card can't be used in a pixel 2, but can go to another pixel 1 or any other phone that takes the same model card. But they can be reused and do not store personal info. I think it goes by phone generations typically. Do a quick search for cards and you'll see what I mean they all have different product codes.
I've never activated an unknown phone before on the network so let's see how this goes.
I think Verizon customers will have to varying degrees a semi similar problem
