Accidentally Bought a Verizon BB Tour but have Sprint?

[IceDigger]

So I just bought a cheap bb tour off craigslist today and dumb me did not check to see if it was Sprint until a little after I bought it. It is Verizon.

Is there any way to change it from a verizon to sprint phone or am I out of luck?

It cannot be changed. You could sell it to someone who has VZW.

how the **** do you buy a phone without checking the carrier first? I call complete BS on this.

[IceDigger]

Yea, I really feel like an *****.

I don't think Sprint will activate ESN's that do not belong to them.

Wouldn't unlocking the phone solve this prroblem?

No, because they're both CDMA.
So they don't use SIM cards, that's only for GSM carriers/devices.

Don't want to hijack your thread but, I am looking for one so if you don't want it anymore, I'll buy. PM me!

Or you could unlock it and use it with AT&T. It's a little off the plan, but it works. You could also call Sprint and ask if they can activate it.

No you cannot. AT&T uses GSM, different technology.
