does the phone require sim card or can you connect it online such as other sprint phones?

Yes it does, unknown about connecting it online, I went to sprint store, they did it for me.

Sprint told me that the phone even though said sprint was not found in their database therefore could never be activated regardless of sim card.

Yes the phone needs a SIM card to be activated and is included it in this sale that way you can activate it online or by phone hope this helps

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.

The one I received was an after market phone with an after market battery and charger. I wound up returning it. Yes Sprint connected it but the phone was not worth the price paid. Battery got super hot and didn't hold a charge for more than 2 hours.

No. There is no sim card slot because this phone is made for CDMA (Sprint).

You should be able to use it with Sprint, however I bought mine to activate with Ting, which is a much cheaper service with better customer support. You can find them here: https://zlm80f1t8d3.ting.com/

You should be able to, since it is an unlocked phone. Just take it to your local sprint store to set it up.

This phone is not Unlocked. It is a Sprint phone and on Sprint Network. It can only work on Sprint network since it is locked on Sprint.

No Sprint iPhones don't need SIM cards. All you need to do is call customer service and connect the phone with a code that is found on the box. You don't even need to talk to a real person!

Yes, if you buy it used or refurbished you still need a sprint simcard sold separately, just make sure you buy the right sim, otherwise won't work. sprint sims are different for every model, cannot be mixed.

This phone does not use SIM card, only works with cdma network, always, this phone will be used out of Sprint network just changing the PRL to one of the new network brand.

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

I'm not sure about Sprint , but I bought this phone for Boost mobile. they don't use sim cards. This cell doesn't have the setup for a sim card.

It says sprint because it is on sprints network, you can use it on any wifi but you need sprint service to operate anywhere

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

You must buy a SIM card from a carrier. This should be from either a national carrier, like T-Mobile, who uses GSM and offers prepaid plans (neither Verizon or Sprint uses GSM technology and therefore don't offer SIM cards) or a carrier like Straight Talk (available at Walmart.com).The carrier selling the SIM card will issue you a phone number when you register the SIM. You may also have an existing cell number transferred to your new SIM card.Hope this helps.

You need a GMS type phone that takes SIM (or micro SIM) cards. So, if you are on the Verizon or Sprint networks your phone will not work.
