    Re: Motorola C290

    You are asking to unlock the c290, is it GSM? Do you use a sim card to activate the phone? Last I known is that Sprint uses CDMA technology, (no sim), and I don't know much about CDMA but I don't think you can unlock cdma.

    Search for any carrier that have pre paid plans, could be Centennial, Verizon, or any other carrier with CDMA tech. and pre paid plans. Any of this company can activate your cellphone.
