A few months ago sprint sent me 2 touch pro 2 and I only order 1. So since the never billed me for the 2nd phone I just tried to activate it on a different line on my account & it was listed as lost and they couldn't activate it. Anyone have any ideas how i could activate it on Sprint?? thanks

Umm, pay for the phone, maybe. That would be the ONLY way you will get it activated on your account. Sprint thought that phone was lost, so basically the esn will not work on sprint.

Or you can just be a nice guy and call sprint explain to them they sent you 2 phones and you got both, but paid for only 1. Ask if they want it back. It might be your lucky day and they could say, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays you can keep the phone and I will activate it for you.......well that's a VERY VERY long shot, but it could happen lol.

Sell it on ebay as a bad ESN? Lot of people have been doing that...

I don't think PPCGeeks condones selling of stolen merch.

I think someone got scammed a couple of days ago by someone who was "selling" stuff in the TP2 forum: (see this thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=99276)
...so buyer beware!

NOT saying the OP is trying to do something wrong but... this isn't the B&T forum or ebay...

Rather than try to profit from the phone that you didn't actually pay for, do the right thing and call Sprint and let them know what happened. The phone was entered into the blacklist because it is MIA. You might get lucky and get Sprint to take that esn out of blacklist and be able to activate it by offering to pay for it on monthly payments. This is what i would do.

Of course it was listed as lost, they misplaced it so you thought it was safe to steal it.
Now you want others to help you to use a stolen phone?

Man up and return it.

Is there anything CLOSE to personal responsibility anymore?
