This will not work if you have a contract with Sprint? I need a phone to replace one that died while still in contract.

I was doing the same but it would not activate. It may have been because there was no data plan on my account

I don't believe it will work. It didn't for me. Fortunately I had insurance on the phone still under contract so I filed an insurance claim. The deductible for the exact same model was $8.00 more than purchasing the phone through Amazon. But I had to return it because I was unable to activate the phone on the sprint network.

You can use the phone if you have a contract with sprint but you can't use for prepaid phone with sprint.

Yes, I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to either replace an existing phone or add one to an existing contract. Just contact Verizon prior to purchase to double check.

The guy I sold mine to asked me to call Sprint and ensure that he could get it activated. The rep mentioned being able to see account history. I hated this phone, btw. Never got 4G working on it and several systems were broken. S5 is supposedly better. I went back to LG and have no problems anymore.

If its a Sprint phone my answer is no, I have a lot of trouble trying to switch provider, it works only with Sprint

Not a 100 % sure but you should contact metro pcs and ask them if they can register a sprint phone to work for their network just like I did with Straight talk. They just asked me for the IMEI # and paid 15$ and I was able to use it without ever had a Spring contract.

No, it can't be used with Sprint because they use CDMA. It works with ATT and TMobile because they use a GSM radio system.

Its a locked phone to Sprint, if you want service on it just go to sprint store and get it switched to that one

Sprint uses CDMA network and AT&T; is GSM network and you can only use this phone for Sprint. The answer is no. Sorry...

The phone needs to be a sprint phone. It should work if it is a sprint phone.

Only works with Sprint. And you need permission from Sprint to use it Internationally, and they require at least a contract with them.

I appreciate this information...I'd like to keep using my sprint service. Is there any reason I can't do that?Do you know of any "unlocked phone tutorials" online? I'm a total newbie to this...Thank you!

Only GSM service providers such as T-Mobile and AT&T; in the United States will work with this phone. Verizon and Sprint use different technology and are incompatible with this specific model.

I am not sure. I was under the impression that it would work only with ATT or Sprint. You should call the company to be sure.

Hi- I don't think so. I think you need an unlocked phone and this is a locked sprint phone.

As long as it is a Sprint phone, there is no problem doing that. I bought one for my son also. I have had my S3 for over 2 years now and still love it. This way is actually better to do rather than getting one using the upgrade. It saves you money and keeps you off the 2 year contract. Hope this helps.
