If my sprint s4 has a bad ESN, can I unlock it to use with tmobile?

Welcome to the forums.
Since you would have to get Sprint to unlock the phone for you, they may not do it until the condition that made it a bad ESN is satisfied.

2 things would make the ESN come up bad. Unpaid bill, and lost/reported stolen and was being processed by insurance.

Thank you for the replies......so if my bad ESN s4 is unlocked through a 3rd party, it will not work, even though the sprint s4 is GSM and CDMA?

I don't know where you got that wrong info.
But the Galaxy S4 with Sprint is an international phone; it has both, CDMA & GSM antennas.
I know it for a fact since I have one! :thumbup::cool:
