Help a poor nOOb - Sprint 6700 to Cricket THANKS in advance

Okay, the more I search & read and try to fix my problem, the more confused I get.

Here is what I have done:

Got a Sprint 6700 in GREAT condition - $130!!!

Downloaded and unRAR'ed Helmi Official AKU 3.5 Kitchen, Release 1.0.4 (upd. 8/05/07)

Installed a minimal setup, avoiding a few apps that have been reported to cause some troubles

When I use BuildOS I pick Cricket as my carrier (I want this phone to work on Cricket) - No errors

I then run the batch file, everything goes well, no errors, I choose Sprint for the prl file

Soft Reset

Wow-Helicopters! Everything seems okay....

I call to activate, Cricket says: If you dial 611 and still get a Sprint error message, the phone is NOT flashed, they cannot activate. When I dial 611 I get "Your Account could not be verified, if you are a Sprint customer....."



SOOOOOO:

I have been trying to figure this out, I understand that Sprint doesn't use a generic MSL, do I need to even worry about this? If so, how do I get my MSL?

Also, the SID for my area (Denver, CO) is 5458, do I need to enter this info anywhere? If so where?

Do I need to dial *228 at any point?

Is *777 the "phone number" for Cricket data. Is this WAP or ???

I think that is about it. Any help would be appreciated and I promise to send good vibes your way.

Sorry for being such a noob when it comes to phones.
Give me a locked safe, no problem unlocking, apparently unlocking phones is another issue!!! LOL

This phone and the "Kitchen" is AWESOME! My thanks to all!

Thanks again!
