Question
I have 2 Sprint phones, and my contract is up. I like the phones, and Sprint doesn't offer a plan that suits my needs. I want to 'pay as you go' with a card or what other options there are. I have 2 Sanyo Katana scp6600ktb

Answer
You don't have any options with the phones you have. The phones will only work with post-paid Sprint service. If you want to go pay as you go with Sprint, you will have to purchase a new phone that works with prepaid, otherwise, you will need to go to another carrier for prepaid and get a phone from them. Your phones are coded to only work with Sprint post-paid service. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
