sprinted

When a cell carrier holds your phone hostage because of a "Financial Eligibility Check" under the guise of "protecting" you, in case your phone was stolen. This makes it impossible to bring your phone to a new carrier until you pay off any outstanding charges. This brings you into a cycle of owing them into perpetuity if you wish to port your phone number AND device. If you buy a new phone, you lose the number. If you port the number, you can't use the phone for at least 30 days, even if there's no outstanding balances.
Yo, I ported my cell number, but the new carrier says I can't use my phone because of a Financial Eligibility Check. WTF?

Sucks.

What'll I do now?

Buy a new phone. You got sprinted, brah.

In the midst of a cross country race, your extremely tired and here comes the last 400m or so. You dont want to lose to the guy behind you and hopefully want to pass the person in front.
