Is this iphone truly unlocked so that I can activate it with Sprint? I've read terrible reviews about the inconvenience of activating it with Sprint

Hi Sergio, I bought an iPhone 5s off of amazon and sprint could not add it all to our plan because they said the phone was already attached to another sprint customer who was delinquent on their bill. So then we tried to buy a phone at the Apple Store and when we told them that we were on the framliy plan they said you had to buy the phone directly from sprint because sprint won't allow them to add it to a framily plan. We finally just ended up buying the phone for full price through sprint. If you are on the framily plan then they do not give you a discount on a new iPhone.

Hi of course it is not unlocked that is why it says sprint. Look for phones that are labeled Factory Unlocked.

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.

This phone is without a contract! I just walked into a Sprint Store where I live and not only did they help activate it for me, they helped me figure out how to use it. I must have stayed over an hour. Now of course I already had service with Sprint and had a "Plan" in place, but my previous 2 year contract had run out.

Will never be unlocked if the phone is sprint. AT&T might but I've heard of co like version as more user friendly . The only exception for sprint telephone unlocking is for international students and workers etc l. It's so they can call home and stuff

Yes, it can. I have the same phone and got mine off of Amazon. Sprint is my carrier and there was no problem activating it.

IN my experience, only if it is a SPRINT phone...the one i bought was not-and when i went to the sprint store to have it activated/my 'stuff' transferred off my other phone, they said,,"ohhh, this works only on the SPRINT Replinishes". I lucked out, Best Buy let me swap it out at the store and save return s/h. I would check with our area Sprint store first, if possible. The photo seen here shows the SPRINT specific model..the one i got wasnt.

It's unlocked but came without a SIM card. Went to Sprint first and ultimately ended up at Apple. Finally got a SIM card for my specific carrier. I would contact apple and ask if they have a SIM card for your carrier.

You would have to get it unlocked because the sprint carrier is a CDMA and most phones that actually unlock are gsm. Sprint phones are actually hard to get unlocked so check to see if someone can unlock it for you before you make your purchase.

My phones were new and came in their original plastic cases, just as if I had bought them from Apple. If their are no issues related to your phone, such as theft or a bad IMEI, then Sprint should activate your phone and insert their own SIM card when you go in to one of their centers. Mine took about 45 minutes, because they had to go thru Apple as part of the activation. The rep who handled mine was courteous and friendly, as was everybody else involved (my rep was new at the business). You should have no problems.

This version is locked and tied to a Sprint account. I'm not aware of an unlocked version of this particular model.

It's not unlocked. This phone is intended to be used with sprint carriers only

No the phones are sprint phones. There not unlocked you have to take to them for that. And they don't make that phone any more so finding what u need for it is complicated.

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.

Sorry, Sprint should activated it with no problem . You can go to the Mall's where they have Sprint Store if you having problems. But like i said on my first mensagem I used AT&T; and It worksgreat.

I think so, but it was a Sprint phone & I use Verizon, so I was unable to activate.
