Can Sprint blacklist my iPhone ESN that I purchased elsewhere?
I had my phone number ported to Sprint in August of 2011 and purchased an Evo 4G through Sprint. I recently purchased an iPhone 4 and switched out my existing Evo. I want to leave Sprint but I will leave behind a small bill plus a very small ETF (I only have 4 months left in my contract). Now before you all get into the negatives, I just want to know will Sprint blacklist, or give my iPhone a bad ESN if I do this? Would it just be easier to swap my Evo back in place then leave? I ask because it took Sprint half a day to properly update my iPhone. I'm not worried about my phone number because I left T-Mobile with an ETF (which I paid off eventually).
BTW if your wondering why I plan on leaving like so, its because SPRINT SUCKS! They have the worst iPhone coverage. My iPhone speed is like the old AOL dial-up. My sister lives with me and she has the exact same iPhone 4 on Verizon and she can watch a Youtube video on 1 bar; I can only hope to load Youtube with 4 bars on my phone. There are other issues with billing and coverage, but I'm fed up with Sprint.
Also, I asked about blacklisting because I bought that iPhone. If I decided to sell it to someone or eventually pay off what I owe and come back I want to have my iPhone as an option.
They will IF you bought it with a discounted/contract price
they won't if you paied FULl retail price, or bought it from another person who already had it paid off.
- Will verizon blacklist my iPhone if I cancel? So I was wondering if I cancel and pay the fee that you get charged for canceling before time, if they would blacklist my iPhone such as getting bad esn and not being able to activate later in the year?

- How to blacklist / block a number in an iPhone 5? I really need to block this number. Everyday I get about a hundred calls from him and it drains my phone's battery. This is harassment. I do not want to take drastic measures such as reporting to a police. I just want him to stop. How do I block him without the need to download any app? Please let me know.
