No , I have done this twice. As long as the meid number is clean, you will be fine.

I am not sure. I bought it as a Sprint phone for my son, took it to Sprint store and got it activated.

Yes, both of my boys killed there phones and I bought 2 to hold them off until they got new ones. Good, phones, no problems with activation on Verison

I suggest calling your carrier directly. The will be able to activate it or give the correct number to activate it.

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.

I gave the phone to a friend ( who already has sprint service ) as a gift. All he had to do active the phone on his excisting sprint service. It was a was such a great gift I purchased one for myself !!

This phone is without a contract! I just walked into a Sprint Store where I live and not only did they help activate it for me, they helped me figure out how to use it. I must have stayed over an hour. Now of course I already had service with Sprint and had a "Plan" in place, but my previous 2 year contract had run out.

You would have to get it unlocked because the sprint carrier is a CDMA and most phones that actually unlock are gsm. Sprint phones are actually hard to get unlocked so check to see if someone can unlock it for you before you make your purchase.

I appreciate this information...I'd like to keep using my sprint service. Is there any reason I can't do that?Do you know of any "unlocked phone tutorials" online? I'm a total newbie to this...Thank you!

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! (:-)

Maybe, Some phone are still can be activated Via Ting , I have to check one by one and see which can go, Once you buy the item send me a message that you want to use the item with ting and I will verify the MEID # and confirm with ting.

No mine was not. Opened the box, charged the phone and took it to sprint to have it activated.

Yes, I have this year bought this phone and activated to my account with Verizon with no troubles

I personally did not, but had to call and talk to an actual person to activate it (versus doint the #228 auto activation). However, this phone is awful... it is not user friendly. Also, I had two of these and both would shut off randomly; many technical problems. You will likely regret having this phone.

I purchased a used LG Cosmos 2 VN251 and it activated into my current family plan contract with no problems. I hope this answered your question.
