Can sprint activate any CDMA phones?

Since 7/15/03, US Cellular will NOT activate a phone unless it is US Cellular-sourced. That merely means that it was originally sold by US Cellular or an authorized agent. It does NOT mean you have to buy the phone from a US Cellular store. You CAN buy a phone from a friend, eBay, or wherever, but it MUST be US Cellular-branded. Also, phones can be direct-purchased from some manufacturer's, most notably Motorola. They will ask you who you're carrier is, and ship the phone US Cellular-branded. These phones can be activated.

An unlocker allows your phone to be used on any network rather than being locked to one particular network. When you buy your phone it will be locked to the network you took the contract out with but if you wish to change network you will need to pay an unlocker to make your phone work with your new network. An unlocked phone also has a greater second hand value as it appeals to more people.
