I am talking about my Sprint Touch which was purchased legally and proof of purchase is sitting in the box it came in. That's all of the proof they will need.
I have read about and personally activated a Sprint PPC-6700 on Altell's network. It's not hard and they will do it. The only thing I can think of that would make this impossible would be if the carrier does not also offer that phone. I know Verizon will be offering the Touch as the XV6900 within months so that will no longer be an issue.
All CDMA carriers in this country, to the best of my knowledge, use the MSID programming system. Yes their MSID codes may be different from those used on other carriers systems but if you unlock the phone, flash an OEM OS(custom works as long as you select the carrier you are using) from the carrier you are trying to switch to and make sure your MSL has been sucessfully, permanently, changed to 000000, your phone can and will accept other carriers provisioning.
In the end it is all up to the carrier whether or not they will actually do it but seeing as how Altell will do it, I see no reason why Sprint or Verizon wouldn't.
