If I do not have a sprint account, will I be able to use this phone as a stand alone android device?

Yes, of course. It has wifi, so if you have a wifi connection anywhere, it would be a regular android device. However, you would never be able to make phone calls unless you used third party VOIP software over a wifi connection. There are better options if you want android and not sprint

This phone is sold without a contract so you can use it to replace your current phone, but if you don't already have a contract you will need to purchase some kind of 4G LTE service to use it. 4G LTE Phones are not locked, so you don't have to use Verizon if you don't want to. Sprint and AT&T also have 4G LTE.

Yup, as long as you are on a network which uses a SIM card (not sprint, but check your carrier)

You need a Sim from sprint to connect to their network regardless of what phone you have. And you have to have an account with sprint

You should be able to, since it is an unlocked phone. Just take it to your local sprint store to set it up.

No you must use it on the sprint network. VM and Ting both have their own phones that you must buy

Depends on the provider, ATT, verizon, and most prepaid services require a SIM Card. As far as using the phone on sprint vs att you should be fine.

Yes, you can just take it into your local sprint store and they activated it for you

Hi, I answered this a couple moments ago but inadvertently deleted my answer. Maybe you received it before that. If not, here goes again. Yes, the device may be used as a Wi-Fi Internet device without a cellular account. I'm not sure if you mean will it function as a stand-alone Internet device, as any other computing device, and the answer is yes, it will. If you mean will it function as a telephone without a cellular account, again the answer is yes. To do this, specialized software applications are necessary. In my experience, and I have this on my phone - it works great - the best is: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.talkatone.android. It is free on the Google Play Store, all that is needed is a Google account. The application is free, as are certain number of calls per month. additional credits are very cheap (much, much, much less than cellular fees). With it, you will be able to make calls within range of any Wi-Fi connection, i.e., home routers, coffee shops, supermarkets, etc. The HTC EVO 4G LTE is a super device, big, high resolution screen, powerful processor, lots of memory. I (Droid Redux) have several LTEs for sale on Amazon at the moment, most in the Refurbished category. They are beautiful cosmetically, scratch free, and tested 100% operational. If you do buy one of these devices, I hope you will look at mine while deciding. Regards, Bruce (Droid Redux)

I don't think so, this device doesn't work out of the box, it has to be activated by sprint and has its own phone number

You should be able to use it with Sprint, however I bought mine to activate with Ting, which is a much cheaper service with better customer support. You can find them here: https://zlm80f1t8d3.ting.com/

No my friend,it's a AT&T; LOCKED phone(the add said it's unlocked,but it's not true).So you have to get it unlocked to use Sprint

All signs point to no. If you get it on Verizon, it'll only work on Verizon. There are options, though. If you have enough money to buy the phone outright instead of going on contract, you can sell it on eBay once you switch to Sprint for pretty close to retail. You might lose $50-$80 selling it used, though. If money really is a concern, it'd be best to just wait until you are on T-Mo. The price of the GS3 might have even gone down by then!

My phone has the Sprint symbol on the upper right corner of it....so I wouldn't see why not. It's a Sprint phone, I flashed it to cricket.

Only if the phone was used with Sprint for 1 year. Supposedly, Boost can activate it then. Contact a seller directly to see if their exact phone can be.
