Looking to buy this phone for my father. He has an older Sprint plan. Can this phone be activated on his contract without upgrading his plan?

Yes - I did the same thing for my elderly mother. It's a very durable phone.

This phone will NOT be compatible with Sprint since this phone is an unlocked GSM technology, not CDMA which is the service Sprint provides.

It was unlocked for Sprint which is the carrier I use. I had no problem activating it.

I looked through my info and could not find anything . You could call a Sprint store . They might have the answer . Sorry I couldn't be more helpful .

This phone is an unlocked GSM phone, meaning that you will need to insert a SIM card into it to work. Sprint is CDMA (no SIM card) so it will not work with this phone.

Have to contact Sprint. It's an unlocked phone so the most likely answer would be yes, but I have never had service through Sprint so I don't know if they offer SIM cards for unlocked phones

Only if it's through sprint. ..otherwise you will have to pay to have it unlocked usually about 25$ and then you can use it with any plan

You do not need to extend your contract when you purchase this phone but you can activate this phone on your plan. I already had the line open on my family plan so it may have been a different experience for me.

I wish I could answer that for you. I am not sure when Sprint would make you change to a different contract. I can tell you....that the phone is a great phone for a basic phone. Hope it works out for you.Sometime ago I had dropped this phone and it didn't work,,,,so I bought another off of Amazon...and went to a Sprint and they helped me with getting my contact info switched over. So perhaps the same idea would happen here...Good Luck and Merrry Christmas....Julie

Yes, that is correct. It is not currently on a plan or contract and we do not provide one or make you sign up for one. It's ready to be activated for the Sprint network and you should be able to transfer your plan to this one with renewing the contract. Thank you for your interest,ClaytonMobilekarma

I just confirmed with Verizon that I can activate this phone on my existing line without it affecting my account in any way. I do not have to use it as a prepaid phone. I can use it with my current plan.

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, it can only be used with Sprint. I actually got an excellent deal and have been very pleased with Sprint. You have to go to a sprint store to get the phone activated. I got to keep my old number. Hope this helps

YES! I tried to activate this phone on the prepaid plan and it was not able to be done. I was told by both the Verizon Reps on the phone and in the store that it cannot be activated now on prepaid because it's out of date. I had to return it once I bought it here because people answered no when it could not be done so. It can only be done on a plan now.

Yes you buy any sprint phone and in can be activated for you. I bought this product and it was going to work until they found out there was a block on this phone from a previous owner. This meant this phone was either lost or stole. And sprint could not do anything with the phone. So go ahead and by a phone just I would not do so from this seller.

No, it doesn't. You'll need to contact Sprint in order to activate the phone, and they'll assign you a phone number. More than likely you'll be told to go to their website to activate the phone but just make a big stink and the rep will eventually activate the phone. Hope this helps you. Sorry for the delay in my response time. I was cleaning my Inbox of old email and I guess I missed this one the first go-around! (:-)

Get a friend with Sprint to activate it on their account, and pay the $36. It does not take up a phone slot in their plan, and the phone used is charged for the minutes, not the Airave.
