So I got an iPhone 5C white 16gb sprint device from work and sold it on eBay. The person who purchased the phone is running into issues with sprint giving him flack saying they need the account holder name or phone number that was associated (I completely wiped the device and reset network settings so it does not show the original number :crying: ) I don't have an easy accessible way to locate the original account holder's name or phone number.
First not a hardware issue. iCloud / Find my iPhone was turned off. ESN/ MEID is clean. The phone has no hardware issues. Second this could in any other world be an android issue. Its not iPhone specific. I find it hard to comprehend why sprint wont allow him to attach the phone to one of his lines, considering I have Swappa verification that its not blocked from the sprint network due to non payment or stolen etc. Swappa says its great, I put the MEID into Swappa myself Why is sprint asking him for the original account holder name / number when Swappa can verify without that. Swappa is not sprint. That's why this bothers me. Its also a shock because this would have been a problem on many occasions on the second hand market and there has to have been people out there online who have gone though this mess and have gotten their second hand ebay / craigslist / wherever clean ESN devices activated.

Should he walk back into sprint with another phone and do Swappa verification right in front of them? I can understand this is a situation where sprint employees are not making a commission because they are not selling him a phone and could be acting difficult because of that, but at the end of the day they are still paid an hourly wage + commission on sales so they should be willing to assist him if its not to busy.
I want to help this guy get the phone onto his account. Please help.
