Re: I need to know

You gamed the system Bully for you... I gather the OP's phone is in fine working order other than owing money to Sprint... so you're advocating misrepresenting that to Apple in order to obtain a device with a "clean" ESN... that's just wrong.

Does it whatever. I am just speaking the truth. It shady. But if u want to clean your esn then that the only way.

So I'm stuck with it ?

If you haven't fullfilled your contract and did not pay your bill, you deserve to be stuck with it. No offense.

No, it's not the only way to a clean ESN... pay the bill.... the ESN would be clean for an honest resale. Sorry to go all Captain Obvious on you...

And exactly how do you think your going to get away without paying Sprint their money owed? They will send it to collections and eventually you will have to pay. You just can't ignore it and hope it goes away.

To be fair, collections doesn't really stop anyone from avoiding debt, lol

That is true. It will never go away. It will only hurt u in the long run. My mom did a name change when she had Nextel to my name. So then a couple of years go by and this is no lie. She apply for a home loan to buy a coop and chase Didn't approve her loan because she had a outstanding balance of like 5 dollars to Nextel. Wow 5 dollars

Wow a lot of conflicting info in this thread. Last time I checked, which was last Friday, They activate the phone before you leave the store. At least thats what they did to me. The only way that you can get by with not activating it is, send it off and when they return it just don't activate it. Throw a dummy phone on the account. Or even though you owe a bill, you can still get a cheapo dummy phone, call in and throw it on the account to release the ip5, and there you go. I buy and sell phones and I keep dummies around for this reason. If the original account holder has a bill owed, Ill let them call in and do that so it releases the phone I'm buying. This would be a good logical way to get around your situation, besides paying the bill.

As for will the Sprint ip5 work on At&t? What I've gathered is if you want it fully unlocked (worldwide) you have to jailbreak also. Otherwise it will only unlock for international use. If you had verizon it would be a different story. They are globally unlocked. You can put a att sim in a vzw ip5 and give it a few and it will pick up att.

Re: I need to know

Just go to the apple store and get a warranty swap. Say the home button keep on messing up. They will give u Another iPhone 5 with a new esn number. Then sell it.

It's called taking responsibility for your own actions, something most people tend to avoid like the plague these days. :not-interested:

I had an ETF when I dumped Sprint even though it was their fault. I value my credit score and paid them off over the course of a few months.
