STORY:
------
I updated the Alltel PPC 6700 with the following steps:
- Update with 1040 Cricket PRL
- Go to cricket 'Preferred Dealer' Store and activate new line
Dealer insists that my phone might not be flashed & ready for Cricket and want to charge another 30$ for it
I deny it saying that I had already flashed and unlocked it
- Activate 60$ Plan + Tax
- I mention activation charge is $15. They say with taxes it becomes more.
- Pay 90$ (Round) by CC
(Something is fishy here)
What they hell are they doing?
- Activation gives different MDN and MIN numbers
- ##778 > To enter the MSN, MDN, MSID etc
- First the MDN number was entered and phone not work. Then MIN number added and dialing works.
Now, before I got home and tried to send SMS messages to friends about new number after synching contacts from Outlook. SMSes do not seem to go out.
- I get home and put Cricket_WAP & Cricket_MMS settings into the phone (As outlined by someone online). INTERNET starts working but I have no idea if MMS works or not (Since I dont use it that much).
PROBLEM:
------------
I am not able to send out a single SMS, yet. Also, I have not yet received an SMS a friend had sent to my new mobile number.
What kind of SMS Settings are required here?
RESOLUTION ATTEMPTS:
--------------------
- Called CRICKET - They said they are resetting the service and I should turn off & on the phone. Did not fix it.
- Installed & Flashed the 'Cricket' ROM Patch WM6 that was uploaded by helmi on PPCGeeks. Added 1050 .PRL and again the CricketWAP/MMS settings posted online.
I was able to configure calling & internet. SMS still wont work. What do I need to fix especially from an Alltel > Cricket standpoint.
SYMPTOMS:
---------
"Your text message cannot be sent." I keep getting this.
Another app on my Alltell 6700 was 'Text Messaged Retry'.
It keeps trying and fails and gives me notifications that look like this:
______________________________
Text Messages Retry
_____________________________
Error Class: Temporary
Cause Code: Encd.Prbl
Message failed would you like to retry?
___________________________________
Is there something I am missing here to ensure that SMSes work? I am not that big into MMS but if that could be made to work as well that would be nice.
PLEASE HELP!!!
PS: Tried a bunch of restarts...

You said you got internet to work...could you please tell me what u did to achieve this? There are so many solutions, I don't know which to try. I have Cricket service on a Pocket PC 6700 that is already flashed. Thank you so much!
