unlocked htc touch pro on sprint
hi, my friend from kuwait is helping me out by getting me a nice deal on a htc touch pro worldphone(cdma compatible)..now i have a sprint contract at the moment, which i would like to keep...he has assured me that if i buy this phone i will be able to activate it on sprint.................the problem i see is when sprint asks me for the esn..will i be able to get this unlocked non-sprint phone to work? any chances?

Re: unlocked htc touch pro on sprint
to be honest i have not recieved the phone yet, so i couldn't give you all the specs...the real question at hand is, has Sprint allowed phones with foreign esns (not a sprint phone) on their network as of this point in time? (dont flame as i have searched the internet tons, and some people seem to say that it is possible)
if i get a phone shipped from kuwait and realize i can't use it on the sprint network.... |

Re: unlocked htc touch pro on sprint
well a friend of mine was able to get an unlocked new one because he owns a phone store in kuwait, at a fraction of the cost of buying one through sprint..were talking a few hundred dollars. idk it seems that some newer posts have had luck getting esn added to sprints personal list, but might be more trouble than i originally thought.

EFF SPRINT AND THEIR PROPRIETARY BS! but honestly i could never give up this sero plan mwahahah..unless verizon can one day compete

Re: unlocked htc touch pro on sprint
man i work for sprint... as far as i know there is no way u can get any other thats not made for sprint and activate on sprint..... its not people at sprint its the system.. thats how its design... if its not on sprints system then the system will tell us that the device was not found on their database and can not be activated..... now if there is a separate way to do it that im not aware of i don know man... so i would make sure with sprint before spending money on that touch pro.....

youcanget new ones in person on cragslist all sat long for 250 bucks and such... and if you wait 3 more months when the touch pro 2 is out you will get an upgrade credit from sprint and just resign another 2 year contract for 2 year price plus an additional 150 off from the upgrade credit and also thats why you do it over the phone since than they wont be able to see the branding and you tell them that it is a sprint device... only certain people can do it though so you would want a high tier tech support. metal, they can add ones from foreign cdma carriers information is above |
