you can make it work w/ Cricket/Metro PCS or sprint again.
 Or You can resell it as parts only... |

Unless you change the ESN to another one already in Sprint's system (one that is no longer in use or was not lost or stolen) you cannot reuse it with Sprint.
They are the strictest US carrier. |

Yes that's true.
You will need a EvDO sprint phone to change the ESN too.. or maybe get a broken 6700 w/ a good esn.. anyway it's going to be a fun path to go down to make it work on sprint again... Tho what you can do is, if you are about to end on contract, you can go to a sprint store and say you'll renew it if they'll clear the esn for you...I seen this happen once or twice, not to common, but it can be done

Sprint and metro PCS stores will always say the phone is lost or stolen/water damage/still on an active account/etc.. if you got it off of ebay--they're DICKS.  However, if it does show up again and they won't activate--I would do as others have suggested here--drop a cricket PRL (current is 1039 I think) on it and sell for cricket--just make sure you tell people it won't work for cricket clicks and picture messaging (although, with work you CAN it on the internet) Also--make sure you leave a big fat NEG for the cock-muncher who sold it to you
