Re: HTC Touch on a prepaid pay as you go plan

That's exactly what I had to do in the first place. My motorola pay and talk phone wasn't working properly, so I ported its esn to the touch, along with MDN and MSID.
The old motorola phone was a 1XCDMA digital phone, and I was able to do basic email with picture attachments and web browse on it, so I know data usage is possible.
However, the Touch, when dialing #777 just errors out or gives a "incorrect username/password " message, so I cannot connect to the data network. I suspect it is possible to get it working, I just need to find the correct settings to change. I have contacted tech support and am awaiting a reply.
