No, it wont. Anybody from Sprint will tell you that it does, but it doesn't. In one the the reviews a victim of Sprint shared his story of how Sprint told him that this phone could be activated, but once he purchased it, he went to Sprint just to be told that he could not activated it. Keep in mind that once you purchase this phone, it can not be retured. Hope this helps. "REFUSE TO BE A VICTIM OF sprint"

No it is a GSM phone and will only work on T-Mobile or Cingular or any other carrier that uses sim cards (not Sprint)

This will not work with Sprint. Sprint uses a different technology for how their phones talk to the cell towers. They do not use GSM.

I do not think any Sprint phone works with one. I never used one. Avoid this phone! It has a known manufacturer defect.

this phone is restricted from Sprint and has been placed on another network and once that is done sprint will not place the phone back on their network at all. so it is able to be placed on a network will accept this phone from sprint. Thank you for asking.

The Sprint version is CDMA, so no SIM cards will work with it. A GSM model might work, but I don't know.

The box states 'new', but Sprint won't activate it since it was jail broken/flashed and removed from Sprint inventory. I spoke to Sprint customer service, they told me to go to a corporate office. I did. The office said that since the device was removed from inventory, there is no way for me to activate it. Was surprised, as sprint has has activated multiple phones for my family plan over the years. I wasted 2 hours at the sprint store and an hour of travel time... Not worth it.

I'm so sorry, I have no idea, when I purchased it I called T-mobile which is my provider andthey said this phone would work with them. Maybe if you call Sprint w/ the Model # they will let you know, it is unlocked. Maybe the seller can you help you as well. Sorry I couldn't help.

No, it doesn't. You'll need to contact Sprint in order to activate the phone, and they'll assign you a phone number. More than likely you'll be told to go to their website to activate the phone but just make a big stink and the rep will eventually activate the phone. Hope this helps you. Sorry for the delay in my response time. I was cleaning my Inbox of old email and I guess I missed this one the first go-around! (:-)

No my friend,it's a AT&T; LOCKED phone(the add said it's unlocked,but it's not true).So you have to get it unlocked to use Sprint

Alejandra looks like you bought the phone from another vendor, not from me, also looks like you bought the Iphone 5c for Sprint, Most Sprint phones are locked for Sprint, and can only be unlocked for international use, or to be use in the USA after a lot of hassling with Sprint representatives. If you need an unlocked phone make sure it says GSM Unlocked on the description. Sprint is a CDMA carrier, Verizon is also a CDMA carrier but most of Verizon phones can be also use in a GSM network. Let me know if I can help you find a phone that works for you. Thank you

I only have sprint. So I'm not sure but that'll depend on the company your trying to "flash" it to. Some companies do not mind any phone as long as it's unlocked. I wouldn't know which ones because for Sprint, it must be an actual sprint phone.

can a sprint phone be activated on Verizon and vice versa. I had sprint service and changed to straight talk, but it uses sprint as the carrier , but now the service is much worse.,

I would say no for the same reasons except Sprint does provide a SIM card for their users who want to use their phones in other countries. Probably Sprint will tell you they will not configure this phone for use on their system.

Yes, if you buy it used or refurbished you still need a sprint simcard sold separately, just make sure you buy the right sim, otherwise won't work. sprint sims are different for every model, cannot be mixed.

Virgin mobile and Boost mobile use a Sprint lines? I bought this phone for my hubby that does nit make a lot of call..but for 35 dollars a month unlimited that includes data with tax only 37.50. You can not beat that..I have sprint and soon as my contract is up switching..cheaper and still sprint..sorry for the typos

No, it can only be used with Sprint. I actually got an excellent deal and have been very pleased with Sprint. You have to go to a sprint store to get the phone activated. I got to keep my old number. Hope this helps
