I find it really hard to believe that Apple would've used a device with a
verizon meid and programmed it for Sprint, and it actually worked until I
swapped it for a different phone on that account, but probably never
would've worked if I would've Ebayed it like I thought of doing until the
Freedompop offer came around. I think the two years of Apple Care expired
this year, but this is one of those things one would never find out unless
you were going to sell, or audits came around.

Hi, you will need to contact Apple and they will be able to switch this
around for you.

Hi there. I have an odd issue that seems to have stemmed from having had
my iPhone replaced by Apple over a year ago now. As far as I knew, it was
designated as a Sprint 4S, and that's who I used it on until I got a
different phone for my Sprint account. I had put it on Ting so I could use
a couple apps that used a small amount of data when I was out, but now
Freedompop could give me 500 mb a month and 200 minutes free, so why not.
I thought Ting didn't push it back to Sprint proper, so to speak, when I
deactivated with them, but the rep actually told me that this phone
actually comes up with a meid for Verizon. If that was the case, I don't
know how I effortlessly activated and used it with sprint because it has
always been stock ios since that replacement package from Apple arrived.
Is there some kind of apple serial number checker that can settle whether
Apple really made a mistake and fixed it in software by programming a
verizon referb to Sprint and hoping one would never find that issue?
Curiously now, I tried to swap it back on my Sprint account where I have
another phone and now they don't recognize the meid, at least doing it the
online way, so I wonder if that other rep is unfortunately right? This
would mean Apple gave me a verizon iphone programmed to sprint back then.
Is there a tool somewhere that can check which issue is really the
problem?
