I've read online that if you say "wholesale phone" that would work, but that didn't seem to work either. Please help!
Unfortunately, Sprint does not normally add wholesale devices to their whitelist (just like Sprint retail devices are not normally added to our whitelist until at least a year after they debut). If you want to email me at
j at
ting dot
com, I can reach out and see if they would be willing to make an exception. (But even if they do, you'll then likely not be able to bring it back to Ting anytime soon.)
Sorry for the confusion.
