Will a Verizon phone work on the Sprint network

They're both CDMA, I guess. I was given a Samsung i760 plus a ton of
software, and would like to use it with my supercheap grandfathered
Sprint account.

Can some craigslist guru make that phone work on Sprint?

Thanks,
Lonnie

Sadly, no. Sprint has a policy of only activating phones they've sold.

It would need to be activated by Sprint.

If the iPhone is really so impressive,
why do iFans keep making excuses for it?
