US Cellular -> Sprint

BEWARE! Noob Ahead

Okay I have a US Cellular HTC TP2 and I wanted to use it with Sprint. I ugraded the ROM to HSPL and then I flashed it for the stock Sprint ROM.

When I went to activate it on my Sprint account I read the DEC# to the representative and they said they could not activate it. Reason being the number was linked to a lost, stolen, or deactivated phone. I opted to not reveal the fact that I unlocked the phone.

Here are my questions:

1. Can I activate this HTC TP2 on my Sprint account even though the phone was orginally a US Cellular phone?

2. If so, what is the best way to activate it?

Thanks for your time and sorry for being a noob, everyone has to start somewhere.
