It's a general policy of all major CDMA carriers NOT to activate a phone that is not branded to them specifically. Although the technology is compatible, Sprint will only activate a Sprint-branded device. Same for Verizon and Telus. Even if they sell the same model phone, if that one you're trying to activate is not in their data base as originally having been sold by them, they just won't do it. They give lots of bs excuses and put-offs, like "it's not unlocked", but that's just to get you to go away.
