I have a QWEST 6800 running on crickets network does that count??
all is not lost, it does sound like u need to load the prl for your area /which u can get here:
http://www.corolada.com/prl/
by the way blaspheus im pretty sure i can get the 6800 to work with any cdma network so long as they will take a phone from another carrier,that is pretty much only thing stopping it from happing and i believe verizon said they will start taken other phones/
back to loading prl, once u have the right 1 u want to load it into your mydocuments on the phone, personal folder would work(its in the mydocuments folder of phone)
then use ##775# i believe and it will let u manually load prl and then u r set for the most part.
i am just giving u this bit of info hopefully someone else will give u rest if u need
