Rio Rico, AZ | Can Slingshot release our ESNs? Will they? Would this help? I spoke with Millenicom today and asked if somehow I could use my modem with their service. They gave me the same answer that I think they gave someone else in one of these discussions... go to Sprint first to have the modem "released" or something, and then they would be ok with the service.
This sounded like a losing proposition to me, but I tried calling Sprint. Also, I am not a sprint cellular customer, so it took me a fair amount of additional explaining. I did get to something called "Advanced Tech Support" but they said they could not do this. They suggested it was Slingshot who needed to do this.
Slingshot is not even answering their phones or emails, so it seems unlikely that we could get them to release our ESNs (if they have the power to do this, and we don't know for certain if this would be a step in allowing us to use the modems with Millenicom).
Still, it seems to me that I would share my conversation with others to see what they have tried. If it is possible to get Slingshot to release an ESN (in light of their inability to provide the service for which I have already paid), and *if* this would help get me to Millenicom without having to buy or lease a new modem, then I would like to look into it, and maybe others would too. |
