Default Remove Sprint lable from front of my phone?

I know this isn't the right forum but idk where to put it and the people in the app forums are usually more creative.

I have a sprint bb 9650 and will soon be working for verizon. Its really hard to sell a product if you use a different one so I need to get the word sprint off the bottom front of the phone without doing any damage to the phone. Anyone know how?

Buy a new housing, other then that get a razor and start scraping.

Better yet get a case that covers it.

Or if any customers say anything tell them that you are locked in a contract with them and cant get out until the contract is up, or that your phone is unlocked and you were on sprint and are now on verizon and you didn't want to change your phone.

Use a penny and gently scratch it off.

Penny trick is awesome thank you!

I also tried the unlocked excuse. Customer left saying they could get a cheap us cellular phone and put it on verizon. It was quite the mess.

There is no unlocking on CDMA carriers, so I wouldn't lie to them, because they might ask you how to activate a sprint device on Verizon. I would just get a case, or do the penny trick.

The penny trick leaves the surface factory smooth - if you are gentle.
