Can I get a Blackbery 8330 working without a contract [telecom]

Mar 26, 2010 1 Replies

One of my son's friends has been using a Blackberry model 8330 phone on Sprint.



He had a falling-out with his girlfriend, who was the account holder, and now he wants to sell me the phone. I need to know if there's a way to use it without the two-year contract Sprint demands for a new account, and what feature(s) this phone offers other than regular phone service.



TIA.



Bill

You should be able to use it on their network with no contract, that is if the phone was not under contract and the phones ESN is clear. Twice I have supplied my own phones since I was able to get it even cheaper then if I had bought it with a contract. I did sign a contract on one that I bought so that I could get a rebate which made the phone free from what I had paid for it and getting another $200.
