Is this RAZR V3 compatible with an existing Sprint plan? My phone was lost and I would love to buy this razr. I called the Sprint representative and asked if I could use this unlocked phone.

A related question. I would like to purchase this phone and I have a At&t; 3G sim card, are they compatible?

I bought this one a while ago. It was used from a private seller, and therefore had nothing to do with my contract. Unless Sprint added some silly rule (I just switched to Family Mobile) about activating a different phone, you should be able to use it as a replacement, no problem.....although, I'd be prepared to buy a new battery for it, if I were you. Like alot of used phones, the one in mine was D.O.N.E., DONE!

No, because it is a gsm device which means it uses a sim card. Sprint network doesn't use sim card. There is a sprint compatible ones though , you just have to buy the right one. I hope this helps.

Phones are usually locked to their companies but unlocked ones can be used on any company using a SIM CARD. No it won't work with sprint bcz they don't use sim cards.

I bought this phone about 3 months ago and went to 4 different service providers and they ALL told me the same thing, this phone is a SPRINT phone and will only work with a Sprint service provider. I do not have 'FreedomPop' service where I live, but I can almost guarantee you that it will not work with them either. Even though it is 'illegal' now to have phones 'Locked', Sprint somehow has found a loop hole around this. I messaged this seller to try to get my money back or get a phone that was not locked to Sprint and they never got back to me so I am now STUCK using Sprint as my provider. Hope this helps.

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.

The Motorola RAZR v3 is still supported by all US GSM carriers as of this writing (02/13/2014). It's a 2G (EDGE) phone, so the differences between AT&T; and T-Mobile based networks won't matter to this phone (effects 3G and up). If the phone is not unlocked, you're stuck with AT&T; for service. If it is unlocked, you will have more than a few options for carriers, without contracts.

No, sprint is not supported with this phone. You would need the sprint specific version.

Nope. Sprint doesn't use Sim cards, so Sprint phones are Sprint only, and have to be set up in store.

You can use any other sim card as long as your phone is unlocked, the sim card u can use will be GSM not CDMA, and call sprint customer care and ask about unlocking your phone, if not you can do so online, river unlock.com and make sure wen u buy a sim card online its the correct size for your phone.

I purchased this phone and yes, it is compatible with sprint, which is the provider I use.

Sprint phones usually don't have sim slot.. so u can't use it for at &t; or t Mobile lines..

The Sprint version is CDMA, so no SIM cards will work with it. A GSM model might work, but I don't know.

No my friend,it's a AT&T; LOCKED phone(the add said it's unlocked,but it's not true).So you have to get it unlocked to use Sprint

This was a Sprint exclusive phone. Assuming you already have a Sprint account, they will be happy to activate it for you. Then they will try to sell you an iPhone.

To answer your question, yes. I am with AT&T; and they place a Sim card in the phone. I know sprint use a Sim card as well, but be careful if you are with sprint purchase the phone from them and the Sim card is pre-installed. If not, you may end our purchasing one on your own. I do not believe sprint will give you one if the phone is not purchased from them. Simply call and double check to be sure. Hopefully, this helps.
