Want this question answered?
If the phone was reported lost or stolen, it cannot be activated again. Sprint/Nextel has it listed and the serial number has been flagged and it will not allow that phone to be activated.
No
No it can not
If you have a "stolen" phone, then return it or mail it back to the owner.
All your have to do is take out the simms card and memory card and get new ones I had to do that because i thought it had gotten stolen so i reported it and then i found it and thats what i did
The locator tool is used if you lose your cell phone or it is stolen. Contact sprint and they will send out the signal to find your phone, you just need to give your number to them.
Yes, but you can also have a Motorola phone but yes in order to have sprint service you need a sprint phone
You may not be able to track a lost or stolen phone but you can have it blocked. Simply call your service provider, report is as stolen and have them block the phone. This would render the phone useless unless it will be reported back to the service provider by the original owner of the phone that it's been found or returned.
Can be done by the owner since requires info only they are privy to
you may have to take it to a sprint store and have them look at it. There could be many different things wrong with it.
yes
Not if the loss or theft was reported to Sprint. Cellular carriers, including Sprint, maintain a list of the serial numbers of devices that have been activated on their systems. (Actually, they have the serial-number ranges of all the devices made for operation on their systems.) All cellular activations, whether at a company store, a kiosk, a reseller, online, or over the phone, are processed through the carrier's computer-based activation system, which has access to all these serial numbers. The carriers will not activate service for one person on a device that belongs to another. There is little point in attempting to activate a lost or stolen phone, since second-hand phones are inexpensive. Most customers on contract plans get a new device every two years or so, so there are millions of unused phones out there to be had. And for signing up on a new 2-year contract, the carrier will give you a phone for "free." ("Free" meaning in exchange for your agreement to pay a set monthly plan cost for 2 years or pay a substantial penalty for an early termination.)
