Has anyone ever successfully gotten sprint to activate an alltel phone on their network. My dad has been on sprint for like 10 years and i want to know if they would do it.

I have a buddy had a phone activated on Sprint, as long as you can show you bought it and it is yours

no personal experience with this so it's just hear say

I know it works the other way round but can't say, why what are you trying to take to sprint from alltel?

Sure, ANY CDMA phones can works on any CDMA network. The hard part is finding a nice rep to accept the phone's ESN. Good luck doing that iwth Sprint...

Again it is luck of the draw if you can get a sprint rep to add the ESN to your account.

Eh basically you need to talk to advanced tech support (not customer service or the yokels at teir 1 tech support), and ask them to put in a trouble ticket to have your ESN added. It's time consuming, and a bother for them to do. So yeah they're going to be a little reluctant.

Advanced Tech Support? Lol. With Verizon there is only one level. And most of those reps are ignorant...Best of luck on getting another branded phone on Sprint

so why didn't u just buy a mogul from sprint...or HTC... you can bring ANY unlocked(this is easy) phone to sprint.. even an iphone.. but they can't guarantee things like data.. if you brought a vzw phone to sprint it would work..as long as its unlocked,clean esn etc.. but they'd tell you the getitnow won't work... sprint will activate an unlocked iphone, just won't guarantee data usage..

just unlock it and try...unlocking doesn't harm anything so its not a hassle..get ur msl and ur all good.. its a WM cdma phone to another cdma carrier..it won't be a problem.. and sh*t sprint will even but you out of ur alltel contract to get you to sign..

oh and btw watch your wording because the way you asked first about this;wouldve been cloning... highly illegal!!! I know the feds busted my door down 10yrs ago for setting up clones for people... 702(vegas baby - unlimited phone numbers lol)
