Re: Verizon Diam500?

The challenge isn't getting the phone Verizon ready, but getting Verizon to add the ESN to their DMD (device management database). I was incorrectly told by a rep that it wouldn't be a problem to add a foreign ESN with the new open network policy. Turns out that rep was too eager to please and now that I bought the sprint diamond, vzw tech support says they can't add the ESN. Anyone successfully get Verizon to add an external ESN?

I've already made my phone VZW ready. If you are able to get the ESN loaded let me know how you get them to do it. I know you can send your phone to the new Device Evaluation Center, but I do not believe the diamond is on the approved device list.

Anyways, in order to activate, get the ESN loaded, unlock/reset SPC to 000000 and load verizon PRL. You should then be able to program with *228. That will give you voice. If we get ESNs loaded I'll post detailed steps.
