Pay the past due or flash to another carrier. Are you looing to activate back to sprint?
PM me and I can give you some other solutions I won't discuss in open forum.

what do u mean by "unlock"? if sprint put a block on the esn in there computers there isnt any thing u can do except keep calling them and see if u can talk someone into taking the block off!!

if u are just trying to get into the programing of the phone (epst) use the msl grabber program! there is one other way to activate but we dont discuss the here

I would like to activate it on my sprint account but if that wont work, i could add it to my alltel/verizon account. i def dont want to pay their bill lol.

Right, the esn is blocked in their computers so i cant add it to my account cause the person i got it from has a past due bill.

Cloning ESNs is a severely punished for the reason that it is used by criminals to get free service and tack on the expense on a victim's account.

On the other hand if you are cloning an ESN from a phone you already own and put out of service, that's another story and your actions may be unethical, but IMO, far from criminal: I doubt reactivating the phone illegally would make a difference for the company that suffered the loss, but, of course, it can be argued otherwise. It's your decision.

If after all that you still feel comfortable with it, do your homework and look it up at the mobile files forum. This is as much as I'm willing to say without risking breaching posting rules and jeopardizing this great forum.
