Yeah, Verizon and Sprint are on CDMA. CDMA is in all aspects, faster than GSM.

To all of you that said Sprint is in the stonage...

You know nothing.

TDMA is the old tech that you speak of.

Bahahahahaha. EVDO revision A and mobile upload and download speeds rivaling wired DSL is sooooooo 90's. :hammer: SIM cards are the 90's technology along with most GSM provider's data technology.

I work for Sprint. Basically the idea has been covered. As long as that ESN is reported lost or stolen, you can't have it. If the account holder who flagged it calls in and removes the flag.

Definitely agreed. Customer service is horrible. The cell service itself I have no problems with however. And I don't need to call in for assistance so I can dodge that bullet too

i work for a cell phone recycling company and we get lost/stolen/active phones on a daily basis. if you found the phone, the previous owner more than likely reported it lost or possibly stolen. the spring rep is saying that it is active because you can not use it. reason being, you found the phone and sprint knows so. you can

a) wait a week and try again
b) give the phone to a charity for E911 purposes
c) take it apart and fuck around with it
d) blow it up
e) all the above in that order.
