This is why they want you to MAIL IN your phones. If they do this, you WILL never be able to use the phone on another account, provider, etc... without having all of the credentials modified.

Any CDMA phone will work on any provider by changing the ESN/MEID... But again, it's illegal.

Also, the Evo, Hero, Moment, Pre, Pixi, 8530, 9650, Intercept, and a few others can not be added to Boost accounts, without changing the ESN/MEID. Period.

^^^ what he said. I got one on metro the RIGHT way. Cant say the same for my Hero on boost
