Either you need to find out what that key is above SHIFT on the left=20
side of your keyboard, or you need to get your money back, because=20
that key doesn't work.

Unfortunately, you may be stuck, at least as far as Sprint PCS is=20
concerned. A suspended line is still an active one, as far as the=20
phone attached to it is concerned. And SPCS will not activate a=20
phone that is attached to a suspended line. The only way you're=20
going to use that phone is to get the suspended phone number=20
transferred to your name and for you to take that number over for=20
however long it's under contract.

They don't OWE you ANYTHING, *ASSHOLE*.

I bet you're QUEER.

So, his wife left him, but he had the phone, so she suspended it, now
he has sold it out from under her. It does not sound likely that you
will be able to get her to let her soon to be x profit from her phone,
in that you would be silly not to get your money back from the guy. If
he won't give it back, then your law suite can join hers.

Looks like your setup needs some fixing too.

It looks fine on my end. Check your setup.

You probably can track her down by sending her a snail mail letter and
requesting the forwarding address on file for it.

...and you can't "get it turned on"?

Have you tried downloading some Marvin Gaye or Luther Vandross ring tones?
Maybe rubbing it with some scented oil?
