I have a sprint phone that is not working well so I want to replace it. Will Sprint activate this phone for me? Even if I am not elibable for upgrad

The one I received was an after market phone with an after market battery and charger. I wound up returning it. Yes Sprint connected it but the phone was not worth the price paid. Battery got super hot and didn't hold a charge for more than 2 hours.

I think so. It is a sprint phone that used only sprint service but it would be good to confirm with sprint just in case they have other good information to get you up and running with this phone. It is my understanding that the upgrade eligibility would only apply to a brand new phone from Sprint and not a phone you buy and supply to them for telephone service. Bill Skye

Yes you buy any sprint phone and in can be activated for you. I bought this product and it was going to work until they found out there was a block on this phone from a previous owner. This meant this phone was either lost or stole. And sprint could not do anything with the phone. So go ahead and by a phone just I would not do so from this seller.

I was in the same situation. I broke my phone and they wouldn't give me contract pricing. Yes, you can activate the phone, and buy a new phone at contract pricing when your current contract expires. I wasn't charged any activation fee. Hope this helps.

Well to be honest.... I'm not really 100 percent sure....what u can do is call sprint first to see if the phone could be activated there gonna ask for the serial number something like that and it will let u know if that phone can be activated or not meaning who ever had the phone never paid the bill on it...if it had a slim card u would be good meaning u could activated....but that's the best answer I can give you!

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"

Hi, Christy K. Is this a phone you are trying to purchase from AMAZON? I bought one that was Sprint ready last year, after my phone was stolen. I made sure it was supported by Sprint before I purchased it. I had no problems activating it. I hope this helps you. Rob H.

I wish I could answer that for you. I am not sure when Sprint would make you change to a different contract. I can tell you....that the phone is a great phone for a basic phone. Hope it works out for you.Sometime ago I had dropped this phone and it didn't work,,,,so I bought another off of Amazon...and went to a Sprint and they helped me with getting my contact info switched over. So perhaps the same idea would happen here...Good Luck and Merrry Christmas....Julie

You can activate it on other service providers. That use sprints network. I activated mine with Ting, it was really easy and had it working within 5 minutes.

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! (:-)

It depends on your cell phone carrier, this is a sprint phone. I was happy with the purchase. It was in great quality.

I purchased this phone from AT&T;, so it probably does not work with Sprint.

Activations Via Sprint # 1800-877-4020 , Please call Sprint and see if you can do that.

No it will not. It is a network device that is carrier specific for sprint and gets programmed thru them. You need to search for specific carrier devices. If you have mobile phone of any type but use sprint carrier than it would probably work if that's what your asking. Call your carrier before buying. Btw it works fantastic.

Tiffany, I cannot speak to exactly how SPRINT would handle this, but I suspect it would be similar to my experience. I am a TING.com customer. TING is a reseller of the SPRINT telephone network. TING sells phone and data services under its own terms but since they use the SPRINT network, the phones they support are phones that work under SPRINT. TING identifies the types of phones that are included and they have a method that you can use on their web site to verify if a specific phone is capable. The HTC EVO Shift 4G is a SPRINT supported phone. After I bought my HTC EVO, I registered it with TING.com and requested they port my number from my old phone to the new one. This took a day or two. I don't know if SPRINT would do this, too, if you don't buy the phone from them. They may or may not. By the way, you may want to look at the TING service, as their no contract pricing is unique and quite cost effective for my type of usage. Many people with "unlimited" usage plans with SPRINT don't use nearly as much data and minutes as they think they do and they end up paying much more than necessary. Ting users pay for exactly what they use. My son and his wife switched from a SPRINT unlimited plan covering both of them to a TING account and they save about $80 a month.

I don't think you can. When I got the phone, it said sprint on it. Other phone companies might not let you use it.

Yes, I contacted Sprint and the representative told me that if you take a Sprint phone to your nearest Boost Mobile Store they will flash the phone and you'll be able ot use it on their network. Boost Mobile also run's on Sprint's network anyway, so it should work on Boost Mobile you will have to have it flashed and that will cost most likely anywhere from $20-30$ dollars and then it will be ready to use on Boost.
