Is there a way to get the epic working on another provider I was giving one that was found in a parking lot and it looks to be brand new but it is a sprint phone and I was wondering if it can be used on another network like verison or uscell

First off, nobody help the OP because he admitted it was "found" and second shame on the OP for not bringing it to Sprint to try and have it returned to its owner. That us all.

Ok thank you for your help now I know what to do with it and I really appreciate you not just been a smartass and just telling me what to do with it instead of giving a round about answer like some smart ass people would do.

No need to thank me, it was my pleasure.
Hey guys I have found a Evo4g at work in pristine condition. Could I sell it or is it no good? I see that these Sprint phones don't take a sim card. So I wasnt sure if it would work unless it was purchased from store? Thanks guys!

I suggest you turn it in to your workplace's lost & found department. An EVO 4G is not a device that people will discard as trash. I'd like to believe someone is looking for it. If it's unlocked, peruse the contact list and make some calls to determine its owner.

You should turn that into someone, a supervisor...ect. SOMEONE is looking for that phone because...its a beautiful device. Mine got stolen [still don't know how] and I moved hell and high water for that thing. That person will really appreciate, and like dougjamal suggested, if unlocked, use the call log, make some calls to find out who's it is.

Seriously? You find someone else's property and you want to SELL it?!?!
Wow. It is amazing how society has fallen...
And let me tell you something about CDMA....
The phone is linked to the account through the ESN number... if he reports it lost/stolen, and you try to activate it, expect trouble.
Calm down... I found it over a week ago... I did turn it in to my supervisor and they called me up there and did paper work because no one claimed it. Alot of people in and out of plant traveling.... No contacts in it... What else to do?

Well...I guess hold onto it, and ask around for another week...
I would recommend leaving it with the supervisor/manager in the department you found it in, because it'd be most likely that person would turn to them to check. Also it keeps you out of liability if "something happened to the phone."
Yea your probably right. I would want my Glacier. Ima call sprint see if they knows who it is...

Lol
1. Pull the battery and find the ESN
2. CALL SPRINT tell them exactly what happened especially the policy for your company waiting a week for it's owner to return.
OPTION 2. CALL SPRINT and ask them if the ESN is clear. If it is your in the clear as well.

From the home screen, press menu > settings > about phone at the bottom > status, and it'll list the device phone number. Tell it to the sprint rep and they should be able to direct you to a person from there, also the MEID number if they ask for it.
I was wondering about this a few months ago when I moved over to Sprint. I signed up with the Shift and decided after it had shipped I didn't like the keyboard so I went to a store and swapped it. The guy accidentally put it in my bag still with my Evo box and I didn't see it until I got home. Being the nice person I am I returned it next business day on the "low", incase he might get in trouble, but I know for a split second I was wondering how much I could craigslist it for.
SO HERE IS THE STORY I JUST TO HAVE AN EVO BUT I BROKE THE SCREEN LIKE 3 WEEKS AGO AND I CALL SPRINT AND TOLD THEN THAT I LOST MY PHONE AND THEY SAID THAT THEY ARE GONNA SEND ANOTHER ONE BUT FOR WAT I THINK THAT I KNOW IS THAT THAT SEND THE REFURBISHED PHONE AND I NOT 2 HAPPY WIT THAT SO A WEEK AFTER I BROKE THE SCREEN I WENT TO YOUTUBE AND SEARCH HOW TO CHANGE A SCREEN ON THE EVO AND I FOUND A.GOOD ONE SO I ORDER ONE FROM EBAY AND I FIX IT AFTER THAT I RECEIVE THE OTHER EVO THAT SPRINT WAS GONNA SEND ME AND THAT'S HOW I AND.UP WIT 2 EVOS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF I CAN RECONNECT THE ONE THAT I FIX ON SPRINT OR FLASH IT TO BOSTMOBILE AND HOW CAN I CHECK IF THE ESN IS GOOD OR BAD
SO THNX FOR ALL YOUR HELP :

It is people like you who cause wireless companies to raise prices for customers. Like everyone else has already said: Where are your morals? Sure you pay for insurance so you feel entitled to use it, but your scamming only costs everyone else in the long run. Damn how I wish there were ways that things like this could be reported to Sprint. O well karma got the best of you in the end, because that "lost" phone is worthless in the end. Have a nice day and don't bother coming back to XDA posting about your cowardly actions because no one cares to hear about how you think you outsmarted Sprint.
#1: ur english is HORRIBLE. please use peroids (.) to end ur sentences...
#2:dont use caps, it means ur yelling...
#3: yes, u can flash it to boost. How? im not exactly sure. a quick google search came up with people offering the service but no how to guide.
EDIT...after reading his previous thread, seems as if this phone is STOLEN
Sir, THIS IS FIXVERY EASERY JUST CALL 8005843666 AND EXPLAIN THEN TO THE PROBLEMTHEY WILL HELP GET YOU FIX USE BOTH EVOS EASY AND FAST

What a looser .
Some of you might remember me from the original Epic and my roms and work there.
I will hopefully be able to switch to the Epic Touch since I've had three replacements on my Nexus S 4G.
Going to try the store today and see what happens.
The zImage shouldn't be that hard to pull..
i dont think they put the epic touch on the wel exchange list yet, at least what my buddy thats a store manager said when i bought this on thursday told me.
hope you can get it to go thru though! good luck buddy

Well, I've been asking them to bump my upgrade up and I'll just pay the contract price for whatever device I want. Hopefully, that or I can just give them the cost of the Epic Touch.
I really want to port my ROMs over, and Sense.

I've been in constant contact with them for the past 2-3 weeks on the issue, not even looking to get a different phone, just one that works, but now they don't want to do anything for me since I've already had 3 replacements, the phone should 'already work by now'.

I'm waiting to release at the same time as the Nexus S Sense port.
We are also still working on some WiFi issues, but 3G works.
They have actually offered to buy back my Nexus for $100 and reset my upgrade eligibility so I should be good to go within the next 24-48 hours, hopefully today, so I can reserve an Epic Touch 4G.

Well, I heard through XDA that some people have had luck getting their phones upgraded via their Airave line on their family account. The line must be upgrade-eligible (login to your account and see if there's a message on that line saying you're eligible for $150 off).
I don't know what the steps are, but I know there are some extra steps needed to get this done. Apparently it is a PITA, but it does work. I'd like to do this so I can can get a second GS3 for my mother as well (her EVO OG is just not holding up well).
I called the local Radio Shack and they said they didn't know about it. I just need someone to guide me to the right store to get it done.
So you want RadioShack employee to explain a Sprint service in depth? Good luck. Lol

Upgrading an airave account isn't fraud.
It can also be upgraded by calling sprint and talking to them.

Fraud? Exaggerating a bit don't you think? Do you think Sprint hasn't corrected this issue so they can test their customers ethics? It's been around for years now buddy. Many people have done so. I just learned that Best Buy can do it too.
Fraud is more accurately associated wih other things that is found in these forums; such as free Wifi tethering, PRL hacking, etc. Acivating your phone on an Airave line that is left open by Sprint is not fraud, it's a loophole.
Anyways, what happens after the phone is activated on that line? Can I just transfer the device to my number? I don't want to be stuck with the $19.99 additional line fee though.

Your best bet is to just walk into the radio shack and try it. See if they are willing to spend the time to try and get you that upgrade. I did it with mine but I honestly can't remember all the details. I know there are no charges. Make sure you write down all the numbers from your Airave and bring them with you. I think I remember them needing the numbers that are similar to the esn on a phone. Good luck!

follow your own advice. those 2 links were to THREADS that you started regarding this same exact thing. why are you so hard-up for a new phone??? just go buy one
and considering one was already locked... reported this one as it's the exact same thing
Tell them that you will buy their accessories (screen protector and a case) and they will try their best helping you.
