After spending 3 hours with Verizon tech support last night trying to convert my Alltel TP to the Verizon network we got everything to work except receiving texts from Verizon and Alltel accounts. Web browsing, phone calls, email, even text from a friend on AT&T came through to my phone just fine. Just no text from Alltel or Verizon. They had me do everything possible on my phone and I really believe they did everything possible on their end. The tech I spoke to made several inquiries to other techs and supervisors and they finally came down to the conclusion it is because the MEID number is ALLtel specific similar to the fact that HTC made a Touch Pro model just for Verizon.

The #228 option 1 went through OK and option 2, also. But when we tried *228 option 3 the recording said it was not a valid choice.
