Verizon XV6700 move to sprint?

I have a verizon xv6700. Sprint SERO is a good deal and I'd like to switch- will I be able to keep my current phone? I've tried poking around and seem to have found that it's not as simple as simply loading a sprint ROM onto this thing. Any comments?

Thanks a bunch in advance.

It all comes down to if "Sprint" will take a ESN swap and if Verzioin will release....this topic is a he said /she said....I would talk to sprint maybe tech support and see if it can happen. Last I heard is if your ESN falls in a range of ESNs it can happen or it might be Verzion..cant remember..lol...

Yeah someone did a big thread about what ENS were in what range and how to go through all the hoops to try to get it done but last time I read the thread there were used still having issues.

Here is the thread BTW. Good luck.

It has nothing to do with "if Verizon will release". Sprint has specific ESN blocks that it reserves. If your phone wasn't made for Sprint, your ESN isn't in their database and they WILL NOT activate it. I even tried getting my Sprint rep to force it and he said the system doesn't have an override. He may be full of it, but this is the same guy that helped me unlock my first Nokia and run Sprint on NAM1 and Verizon on NAM2.

You can, however, go the other way. As long as you unlock it, you can activate any Sprint phone on Verizon.
