pretty straight forward, i can essentially get a verizon tp2 for next to nothing with a couple hookups i have but i am HEAVILY considering switching to sprint because of their new any mobile plan. will sprint activate the phone on thier network?

Thank you in advance for anyone who can help

From my understanding, Sprint will not activate any non-Sprint branded phone on their network...
Greedy pigs! HA HA

That whole 'open CDMA network' stuff Verizon, Sprint, etc. were talking about (just last year... source: http://www.engadget.com/2007/11/27/v...evice-in-2008/ ) has completely turned out to be a joke to get FCC regulators off their back. It looks like none of the CDMA providers were actually going to implement this change.

Pretty shameful.

Is the Definitive answer still no? Did you try to activate a VZW phone on Sprint?? I too can get a VZW Touch Pro 2 locally for $225. Waiting on a callback with the ESN# so I can check with Sprint.

im fairly certain that sprint will not activate it
