I bought an iphone 5 for sprint off ebay. I call to get it activated?

I purchased an iphone 5 off ebay. When it came in today i called sprint to activate it and they told me that the phone is associated with another persons account. I contact the seller he tells me that the person who sold it to him has a delinquent account. And that who ever has the iphone can use can activate it under their plan. Is this really true can i activate an iphone under my plan after they close someone else's.

I don't think it's bad esn because the phone would've been locked or something and i wouldn't be able to used it at all

Its no good. The original owner has it under his info meaning he will not finish his contract. The esn will be bad or it will be blacklisted making it useless.
if your in PA and need a unlocked iphone 5 email me

  • What are my options to carrier unlock an iPhone 4s I bought off of eBay? I recently purchased an iPhone 4s off of eBay and it's still carrier locked. Is there a cheap/free way to carrier unlock it? It's currently jailbroken and it used to be on AT&T. I plan on switching it to MetroPCS. I only have the MetroPCS SIM card and it says I have signal but I can't make calls, texts, use the web. I'm not a AT&T customer and have no way of becoming one. I really need help. Any suggestions?
  • I've Bought an iPhone 4 off eBay? I've paid for it but the phone has not been shipped yet. It's been 3 days since I've paid for it. Should I worry! What should I do? In the email that came after buying the phone, It said that it should be delivered by Thursday! But on the page it says "not shipped" and she has logged on because I've message her about it.
