“Compatible with Sprint prepaid service? I currently have an HTC with sprint prepaid. If I buy this phone will I be able to use this on the sprint network as well as keep my current plan and number? I see that it is unlocked but this is my first time switching to an unlocked phone so I'm not sure of the process. Thank you!”

Be extremely cautious with any devices you wish to use that are not specifically sold by Sprint pre-paid or its pre-paid entities. This phone definitely works with sprint post paid. However the specific sim card -numberGLW446C- (if I remember correctly) must be used to get your phone line active with the 6p. A BestBuy mobile employee can activate the 6p through a hardware swap as long as they remember that specific simcard#. Sprint has a ridiculously confusing mobile network riddled with multiple random simcards (more like dozens) for different devices on different plans. Sprint is the parent company of Virgin Mobile. The CDMA/GSM factory unlocked Nexus 6P sold at best buy would not activate on Virgin Mobile's network. Virgin Mobile however does sell the 6P on their website (at a highly inflated price). So if Sprint pre-paid "locks" your prepaid account to sprint branded specific prepaid devices, then it may not be compatible. The best idea would be to call Sprint Corporate, ask for a manager and inquire if their pre-paid network will work with the 446C postpaid simcard. If it does not work on prepaid ask if there is a pre-paid alternative solution to get your unlocked 6P activated. I wish I could be more help! If you do ultimately get an answer please post back on its compatibility..
