use a sprint sold phone on verizon?

---

Thinking about buying a used sprint touch 6900, install some kind of DCD or other rom with a carrier cab for verizon. Will this work? ESN conflicts?
Will i need to call Verizon tech to send the A-Key and will it work ( they will think its still my old Titan 6800. My scheme is to have the same phone less the keyboard)

they will know what the phone is based on the esn i believe. and while it is certainly possible...i dont think sprint nor verizon allow it just yet. soon tho. im not sure on this though.

They do not allow non-verizon assigned ESNs on thier network. I've been playing a tug-of-war with tech support on many different levels for over a month and they just wont do it. My contract is up in December and Verizon will be loosing a customer of 3 phones @ $160 a month. I don't think they care though.

Better @ Sprint ?? They won the worst customer service award
third year in a row & are losing 1.7 million customers a quarter.
Why do you think they have a new ceo who us giving everything away?
Plus you get to enjoy all their "dead spots" where vzw does have a
signal. Sounds like a lot of fun !!

im running a sprint 6900 on vzw right now. you need to copy an ESN from a phone that you have had on verizon. Maybe taken an old phone but it would be easiest if you could take an ESN from a pda phone, the best would be from a 6700 or 6800.

Anyways take your old verizon phone, before you disconnect it and get all the system info off it and copy that over to your new phone.

Sprint Is The Best Off All Of Them...

Oh, no. U r wrong. I---Sprint has "America Roaming" (included for free with every voice plan) that gives an option to roam on Verizon ANYWHERE! In case Sprint's signal is weak (which is very rare), it's possible to roam on Verizon and/or Alltel(which is now also a Verizon). Just force Touch/Vogue into "Roam Only" option. II---Sprint's Touch is 100$, Verizon's-249$. III---Sprint's unlimited data is 15$ a month, Verizon's-30$(and IT IS NOT UNLIMITED to the full extent of the "unlimited" word). IV----Sprint's Touch is not disabled as Verizon's one. I can use Bluetooth and GPS immediately on an "out the box" Sprint's Touch. Verizon's XV6900 must be hacked.
Sprint's cust-service is not that great---true! But it's possible to do almost everything concerning a phone/plan matters online now!
I had T-Mobile, ATT, Verizon and Sprint. Final choice---SPRINT. Ultimate combination of EV-DO, price and coverage!

If you can get the esn loaded (the hard part) here is my thread to do the rest. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20090
