I was told to come to this site and you could tell me if i could get my iphone to work on other carriers. I bought it and was told I could use Straight Talk or At&t on it,but I cant figure out how. It is threw verizon and I have no idea if a bill is owed or anything and just want to get prepaid service on it, how do i do this?
Sir ,

hi all,
i have done quite a bit of searching and reading. there definitely seem to be a number of threads on this topic, but i cant locate a simle straight answer to my question.
heres my situation.
1. I am on sprint right now. my phone is smashed so i can make an insurance claim and get a new phone for 100 bucks.
2. my boss has an extra line on his verizon account that he is going to let me use, but he doesnt have a phone for it and cant upgrade till next august. 2013
3. what i want to do is get a new phone from sprint on my insurance claim and flash it to verizons network and see if i can get vzw to activate it.
4. CAN i do this? what phone should i choose (i was thinking galaxy nexus).
appreciate any feedback and im really sorry if the answer is already out there...i could not find it. i swear i looked! thanks!
nothing? anybody? if there is already a thread answering this please link it for me. thanks.
I wouldn't think it would require more than a VZW sim and either porting the existing number over, if that applies, or activating it on a new VZW number.

It is possible. But you'll have to know someone or find a really nice rep to activate it for you, as its not allowed/illegal for Verizon to activate a device that isn't in their system. Just popping in the lte sim isn't possible because sprint has imbedded sims.
Tl;Dr possible, not going to happen

Original Post above might be in wrong section I need to know this ASAP I have a seller close by. I will loose this item if i dont find out soon. All my research leads to either showing the straight talk phone or the Sprint phone... Also do any phones from other providers work with straight talk after unlocked/rooted . If straight talk carries this particular phone ?? Thanks!!!
But my post above is about a Huawei Droid Touch from sprint, Im seeking if i root this will i be able to use with straight talk.. ? THANKS! AHEAD!

Here's my problem:
I recently brought a SAMSUNG Galaxy S5 Sport SM-G860P by Sprint from eBay. The problem is when I asked the previous owner to help me with the unlocking,
the previous owner told me that he/she is unable to contact Sprint due to poor network reception in his/her area.
And so I thought I can simply unlock the phone by calling Sprint (the way I use to call Verizon when I purchased phones from eBay), but no.
Sprint required more information compared to Verizon when comes to unlocking the phone for you.
I told Sprint that I was unable to provide the account number, security PIN, etc. of the phone due to I brought the phone from eBay
& moreover is that I'm residing in Singapore (outside of the USA), but Sprint apologies that they're unable to further proceed with the unlocking service
due to lack of information.
Here's my request:
Would truly appreciate anyone could help me with my problem & willing to donate a small sum of funds via PayPal to whoever managed to unlock my phone.
My phone's information:
Brand & Model: SAMSUNG Galaxy S5 Sport SM-G860P
Carrier: Sprint, U.S.A
Phone Number: 321-987-2207 (previous owner Sprint's mobile number)
Phone's IMEI : 990004697012726
Phone's MEID : 99000469701272 (HEX), 256691517707344754 (DEC)
Phone's OS : Android 5.0 (lollipop)
Hey!
That is pretty lame that you can't unlock your phone.....I've been talking to my bro as he moved to Australia and had to get his phone unlocked. he said he just took it to town and got someone froma phone shop to do it, it did cost him about $200 for this though! But he did say that he was recommended a website that might be able to help. I've not used it before, but I've noticed a few other people have

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the website shared by you doesn't my phone (G860P)
and also turns out that the previous owner didn't finish clearing the outstanding payment
for this phone's account, therefore I'm unable to get the unlock code from Sprint's technical specialist.

No problem, sorry I couldn't help further.
I would suggest that you take it to a local shop to get it unlocked? They won't need to worry about the previous customer. :fingers-crossed: It looks like the person that sold it to you probably didn't want to pay the rest of their bill. (or not, just my personal opinion) Anyway I really hope you'll be able to sort this out soon, it's not nice to hear people getting messed around.

Actually I can understand how the previous owner feel about Sprint's services. Firstly some sites where people mentioning that Sprint
doesn't have a good coverage in U.S and secondly their have poor customer service. So I wouldn't really wanna put the blame on the
previous owner. :angel:
But I'm really glad that at least someone respond to my call for help in technical assistance.

Well as long as you are happy! That's all that matters, I tend to not by second hand phones..........I used to work in a second hand company and the horror stories you'd hear on a daily basis!!
You can easily unlock oyur S5 Sport by using this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...print-samsung-unlocker-unlock-sprint-t2928250
It also worked for me in Germany. Once you hit the Unlock button, reboot your phone. Dont forget to put the phone in GSM Mode in Mobile Network Settings !
enjoy
I recently spent money that I REALLY didn't have on a Sprint Flex 2 because a friend of mine's friend claimed to be in a bind and needed urgent help and I knew my boyfriend had been wanting this phone and honestly, I'd been wanting his! However, after getting home with it I'd noticed it had a Google Account lock so I paid someone to bypass it, which was easy and worked like a charm... Then, I realized that it was Sprint and my bf has an att sim! I I contacted that same guy and for some reason his program just decided it wouldnt work with my computer anymore so wasted more money, I then found another guy and he said to go to swappa.com and make sure it wasnt blacklisted which it was obvious its not beacuse if my bf would habe sprint itd be working perfectly. I paid this new guy to get a new IMEI code for it and he hasnt answered me back and honestly i dont see how he can claim it to b blacklisted, but anyway i need a carrier unlock done like YESTERDAY!!! PLEASE HELP!!

First of all, I am a noob here trying to get help with a phone I bought off Ebay. I currently am with Verizon Prepaid and thought this phone I bought would work, but the service is shotty.
Phone is an LG V30+ Thin Q running on software US99830b. Model# LG-US998 and was told it was factory unlocked. I hope I am providing enough detail. I have searched and since this is all new to me I want to make sure I get the steps right.
I am trying to get this phone to work on Verizon network, especially Verizon Prepaid if it can be done, because Verizon themselves told me the phone wasn't compatible. I have found some threads regarding this and I think I have the answer, but want to make sure and hear it from the experts themselves.
Thanks so much for your help with this matter.
Anybody?
