You allowed your friend to use your credit to open up a cellphone account. She defaulted. Now they are coming after you for the bill including the early term fees for that two year contract.
You could try to convince Sprint that it was ID theft but you will have to file a police report against your friend. Very likely this won't fly, since you really did give her permission.
You could pay off the debt and sue your friend in small claims court to recover. You would still have that black mark on your credit report.
This should be a very valuable lesson for you. Never let anyone use your credit or co-sign for anything. Folks who have bad credit got that credit from not paying their bills.

Tell them that, not us. What do you think we can do about it? I mean honestly, call their customer service provider. . .the problem here is that you were paying for it and paying for something can be inferred as signing the contract.
