As I understand it you cannot activate unlocked phones on Sprint and Verizon. They keep a list of serial numbers of phones meant for their networks and generally speaking you cannot activate a Sprint phone on Verizon's network. This isn't a problem with GSM carriers, only CDMA.

But you can buy CDMA phones on ebay and activate them on Verizon or Sprint. You just call them and tell them you want to do it, and since you are paying them money, they let you.

If that's the problem, they should try selling the phone in Europe.
