Default MEID on an APACHE? is it possible?

hello, is it possible to put the MEID from my dead LG fone onto a spare ppc6700 apache (sprintpcs) i tried all the converters and tried using pESN etc and the system keeps saying 'the fone cano not be validated'

any suggestions on how to convert the MEID to ESN to use on the Apache or is it possible to change the Apache filesys to use MEID instead of ESN?

thanks in advance everyone!

cheers
