How can I tell if I'll be covered by either Sprint or Verizon? Sprint isn't too good in my operating area.

when you purchase the phone at Wal Mart, on the bottom of the box in very small print, it will tell you which service the phone runs off of. Example: on the very bottom left hand corner, mine says CDMA-V which means mine runs off of Verizon towers. GSM4 or AT means AT&T;, GSM5 is T-Mobile, SPR is sprint. Ask the salesperson which service the phone runs off of before you purchase it. Hope this helps.

Also, I had a Centura sent to me as a replacement for my Proclaim, and it too, runs off of Verizon towers. Double check the bottom of the box to be sure though.

Not too sure as my phone carrier is sprint. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

I looked upthe answer. If your phone was under contract with at&t, Cingular or T-Mobile these are GSM phones. Verizon and Sprint will not work, these are not GSM phones.

I don't know, and no one can tell you the answer unless they use the same zip code. But if you call or email Tracfone, they will be the best source for the answer. You didn't identify your state or city, making the coverage more difficult to see on a map. As a general rule, you can enter your zip code on the web site selling the phone. They will reply and let you know if your zip code is covered.

I use "Ting". It is a non-contractual phone service that piggy backs on the sprint network and runs about $25 a month.

The only listing I ever see is "Tracfone." I believe they have contracts with various carriers, including Verizon, Sprint, etc., to provide service. It might depend on the area you are in.

Looks like this is for Verizon, not Sprint. Mine worked on Verizon since it is described as a Verizon phone.

As far as I know T-mobile works everywhere. The coverage just isn't as complete as say, Verizon.

You would have to ask Verizon for heir coverage. I have used mine wherever I go.

Sprint and t mobile are not campatible. If the phone is unlocked than yes...but this phone clearly states Sprint!!!

I don't know as I have a Sprint phone. Sprint & Verizon phones are nearly identical so the same should apply to AT&T.;

Maybe Sprint, Verizon or Cricket. I don't know why you would want to get it flashed to Sprint, unless you have a contract already and need a cheap phone to finishit. Virgin Mobile IS Sprint--just for a lower price and without roaming. So if you don't already have a contract your're better off just doing VM. I seem to recall news that Verizon would flash other carriers' phones to their network. If so you would need to get that done through a local store. Cricket will definitely flash other carriers' phones. I don't know if you are more likely to get that done at a company owned or franchise outlet, but it's possible.

Hi, Doris,I don't think so. Mine is based on CDMA technology - Code Division Multiple Access - and I believe Verizon, and a couple of other US carriers use CDMA. Do a Google search on the phone and the Sprint network just to be sure. Also, check on eBay, just to see if any are advertised as equipped for other than CDMA networks.

you would have to ask your provider of service. This is just a phone cover that they asked me to provide information on. Verizon is pretty much giving the 4 away now with a 2 yr contract

If it's being advertised as Sprint, don't risk it. I had to return mine because the back cover didn't fit. Battery's fine, it's just the back cover that'll be mismatched.

i am using currently using Verizon, sorry, cannot speak for the others, however with nationwide coverage, I would think other carriers would be available.

I purchased this phone from AT&T;, so it probably does not work with Sprint.
