Making an S7 work on Sprint

[Thunderdome08]

I purchased an unlocked Galaxy S7 while living in Singapore. I bought it unattached to any service provider and have been using it around the world with various carriers with no issue. Now that I have returned to the US I want to use it with sprint's new bring your own phone deal. But they are saying that my phone won't work based on my imei number. Is there anything I can do to make my phone operable on sprints network?

An S7 from Singapore is an Exynos version, which doesn't have the United States CDMA/EVDO modes and bands, and so it won't work with Sprint, nothing you can do. It should work with AT&T and T-Mobile though. US carrier version S7s for Sprint and Verizon have a Snapdragon processor rather than Exynos, because of the CDMA/EVDO requirements there.

Sprint's BYOD is for approved and compatible devices only.
