Return it for a refund, because you need to first activate it on Sprint's network in the US, the request Sprint unlock the sim slot. You purchased the wrong phone.
The seller give me the phone with the original simcard in the machine, and i can activate my iphone with it but when i swich to my hongkong local simcard,i can not activate it. So can I send email to sprint service and ask them to unlock it?
No. As provided in my initial post, you must be a Sprint customer before they will unlock the sim slot. You're not. Return it for a refund or use it as an iPod touch. Again, you purchased the wrong phone. Apple can't/won't help you & no one here can help you.
