Register a Sprint Touch on Verizon

[skiiman1]

Hi Guys,

So I like this phone so much I want to get one for my brother as well. He's on Verizon but doesn't want to pay the 300 dollars because hes not up for his "new every 2 deal." Is there a way to get a Sprint Touch and basically make it work on Verizon?

no there isnt because verizon will not activate a non verizon phone and the esn and all are different for all service providers.

Couldn't I clear the ESN on the Sprint phone then change it to the ESN of one of my Motorola Razr phones on Verizon and basically throw away the Razr and use its ESN?

What do you mean? I don't think I am understanding.

Once you clear the ESN on lets say the (Sprint Touch) shouldnt you be able to enter any ESN # in there?

If yes...

Then why would the ESN # from my Verizon Motorola phone not work...its a Verizon ESN #

How would hte phone know that its a verizon vs sprint ESN?

So once I get the verizon ESN from my Razr phone in the Sprint Touch...i just call Verizon and say I would like to register my Razr back on the network and use the verizon esn

if you knew what to do then why ask...it seem a waste of time to start a thread,if you new how to handle it already....and by the way you dont have to clear the esn after the lawsuit...all carrier has to honor it regardless what carrier it came form...
