Alltel will accept a different carrier's esn

[Bigsniperboy]

I have been working on switching a Sprint TP with a bad esn to Alltel. The last problem that i got hung on was Alltel accepting the esn. I tried the alltel myaccount website to change my phone, but it gave me the error that the esn was on a different carrier. I then called tech support and asked them to add it to their database, and he told me that for a couple months now alltel will not accept any unregistered esn. So then I called back and asked to be transfered to a sales rep, and acted all dumb about the phone. I asked him if he could activate my phone for me cause I cant figgure out the website. He said sure, all I had to give him was the esn(in this case it was an meid) and in a few minutes, he had the phone activated. I hope this helps anyone trying to switch a phone to alltel.

Great to know, my brother is buying a Sprint TP off of craigslist tommorrow. I`ve been searching for a guide to activate it on Alltel, it seems everybody says Alltels as bad as sprint in accepting ESNs.

I called Alltel 5 minutes ago, and asked if they would activate, it the guy said no, I said why, he said because its not an alltel phone, I say its the same thing, he says you need to unlock it as if I`m an idiot, I respond that I know how to do this and all I want to know is if they will just accept the esn, finally he broke down and said yes they will activate it, but the rest is up to me.

That said I do this right?

Re: HOW to turn a Sprint Mogul into an ALLTEL 6800
Install HardSPL 2.40.
Then you can flash the Alltel ROM.
Use the GetSPC program to get your MSL code.
Then you can use a program called QPST to set the MSL to 000000 (that allows Alltel's OTA programming to work).
