I have the Sony Ericssion Xperia play (playstation phone) i got it with verzion, when the new "data package" came out i was over it and dropped them as a provider. I Been with sprint for years !!!! Can i use this phone with sprint and so how???? Some 1 please help me!!!! idc if its not covered under the protection plan or any thing i just want to use this phone on the network its a cdma phone. Again, someone please help!!!!
This should be in Q&A, fyi.
It can't be done, to the best of my knowledge. When I was working for sprint, every phone we activated was registered in our system as soon as it left the factory. I've heard sprint phones can be activated on Boost, but I believe that's because they're the same company.

I am currently on VZ until Dec of this year. I plan on telling them to kiss mt butt. I was planning on going back to AT&T and getting an unlocked Xperia PLAY for around $179 on eBay. As such my wife and I are looking at other options. I love my phone and can honestly say I do not relish the thought of another phone without the gamepad. I have heard its possible in rare instances to make a VZ phone work on Sprint but I cannot find anything in detail. Is it possible to do this with my phone? Be advised the contract I originaly signed with VZ was for a D2G and I later bought a used R800x then just activated it.
So... is it possible to use this on Sprint? Thank you in advance.
I'm giving my incredible 2 to my friend who has T-mobile and i flashed cm9 global because it's a gsm default rom and it won't connect to any network i tried putting in the T-mobile apns and they won't show up, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Did you have the sim unlocked with Verizon before you left their service?
I still have there service i just upgraded phones and i gave my inc2 to one of my friends and no i haven't got it unlocked..

You'll need to call global support and get the unlock code for your sim.
Aye, but I'm not sure Verizon's policy on unlocking the SIM on an unactivated phone. You may have to activate the Inc2 again before they will unlock it.
Maybe someone else knows the policy more and can chime in...

They will unlock one phone per year, shouldn't have to activate it. Please let me know if you can get hspa+ on it once you've done it... For the life of me, I cant get mine to work.
I'm having a similar problem with an Incredible 2 for a friend. Flashed CM9. He was unlocked already, so he can get phone, but not data. I'll write up a post about it, but I'm still interested in this thread.

My girlfriend has my old inc2 and she is with tmobile. I just paid one of those sites 10$ for a unlock code and entered in tmobile's apn's and it has data. But with the inc2 being cdma radios and tmobile uses gsm it will only get edge "2g" connection.
I recently unlocked 2 Inc2s in anticipation of moving them to t-mobile. They were both out of contract but still activated, and my first call to global support ended with the woman telling me, bluntly, that Verizon doesn't unlock phones period. I had been telling her that we intended to give them to family members who weren't on Verizon after we upgrade to new phones. No dice.
Not being one to give up, I waited a few minutes, called back and said that we would be traveling to Europe and wanted to be able to use our phones on a local carrier while we were there. No problem, I was given the 2 unlock codes immediately.
So if/when you call, that's probably the best story to use. As soon as they hear that the phones will be going to another carrier, they have no incentive to help.
Ok i finally got the unlock code for it and i was running viper 1.20 and it told me to use the code so i put it in and it said invalid code so i returned to the stock rom and now i don't know what to do, like i don't know where to put the code in at..
Nevermind guys i finally got it unlocked and T-mobile is working fine on it

I really messed up this time. I brought a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 on metropcs carrier from Craigslist. Seller told me that it was sealed and new. I had all iphones before,don't know anything about android and don't know how to test this new phone, when i saw the phone, it was not sealed, it already open by someone, but the phone is new, so I paid $, got the phone. after, I went to metropcs corporate store to active my new phone, the metro guy told me. the phone I'm having right now is reported lost. I got fraud. I'm so sad right now, worked two weeks just for buying this phone, now my money is gone(seller dispeared), I got a phone that I can't even use. I already asked all unlock service, they all tell me they can't unlock the phone, I don't want to sell it to anyone to make them sad, I'm wondering if there is anyway that someone can help me to put the phone back to service(make a call or text).I don't know if root can help or not, I don't know how save this phone, if it can't be used, I will use it as ipod touch,mp3 player. here is all the information that I know to provide, if you guys need to know more, I'll stay here and answer. Thank you for reading it.

does this mean no one can help me here?
Phone is reported lost so the ESN is bad now. That means the phone cannot be activated on Metro PCS anymore. But what you could do is put it on another prepaid carrier like boost mobile if you really want to use it.

Or u could flash a new esn over from an old metro phone. Go on craigslist look for someone who flashes sprint phones to metro. Explain your problem. U might not get 4g but it should work..
Hey guys,
first of all I want to say that I haven't got a xperia play yet, just a X10
So I found a very (!) cheap xperia play in ebay (the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sony-Ericss...204&pid=100015&prg=1085&rk=1&sd=170881480370&),
so the problem is that I'm from Austria and this phone is activated just for Verizon users.
This CDMA Cell Phone has a clear ESN for activation with Verizon Wireless. Since this phone is locked to Verizon Wireless, it can only be used on their network.
Note: This phone will NOT work with a SIM card or operate on any GSM Network, i.e. T-Mobile, AT&T, Orange, Rogers, Vodafone etc.

Yes the the Verizon xperia play will work on any CDMA network if its unlocked. It will not work on a GSM network because of hardware.
Thanks dude for the fast answer, you are a big help, thanks
I am looking at getting a Samsung Galaxy Nexus SCH-I515 but want to run it on Boost Mobile. The reading I have done is contradictory (can activate any cdma phone and Verizon is excluded) I was just hoping someone here could give a definitive (ish) answer. Can this phone be activated through boost? BTW customer service was semi unclear to me as well, saying information that is contradicted in their own Web page... Which is why I am here. Thanks in advance.
If its anything like using Virgin Mobile, I had to "trick" the phone into thinking that it was a different device. I know that a few mom and pop shops around will do the work for you. My friend has an AT&T phone running on Net10, which is basically the same network.

I haven't decided whether to take a chance or not. I might just get an approved device (seems to be what the company wants anyways) I'll try to let you guys know. Thanks again.
