I called T-Mobile and asked if I could buy a SIM card on eBay and call them back to transfer my Sprint number to the card and they said yes. I was just doing some shopping on eBay for one of those super cheap pre-activated cards and one of the listings says this:
"Please do not change the number. When you change the number, I will not be able to get more sim cards from my supplier. (charge back issues). Please bid and win if you are going to use these without changing the number.
IF YOU CHANGE THE NUMBER, AND MY SUPPLIER DISABLES YOUR SIM CARD PERMANENTLY, I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT."

What's the deal here? The eBay seller's SIM card supplier gets mad if the end user changes the card's number? I'd like to buy one of these to go with the Sony Ericsson W810i I just bought on eBay but I need to transfer my Sprint number. Has anyone tried transferring a specific number to one of these pre-activated cards?
