Re: confusion about activating phones on sprint network

I know that line. It's a Qwest phone ESN that you're trying to activate. Sprint will NOT activate a qwest esn since they own a certain portion of esns on the network, they will not do anything about it. If the guy sold you the phone as a sprint phone or that it will activate on sprint, talk to him about it, I'd say send back your phone and get your money back.

Other option, wait until Qwest finishes moving over to verizon and hope they release the esns they "own".

Last option (illegal) as mentioned before, clone an exisiting sprint (clean and clear esn) phone's esn into the apache, I did this once for giggles and it worked fine. As far as I know this option isn't to be discussed here in terms of how to do it. If you want information on this, google it or talk to me off the forums.

The verizon phone won't be allowed on sprint at all, unless you do the clone to it, either way, both phones won't work on sprint without some tinkering.
