I was able to get an alltel store to get my number in, I happen to know the person who owns it, but she wasn't sure that it was going to work since it's a sprint diamond and not an alltel diamond, and I didn't have the alltel stuff loaded, so she couldn't actually complete the activation, but she was able to get my esn number into the system and assign me a phone number

problem is, since we weren't sure if it would work or not, we set up a prepaid account

got the alltel stuff loaded, went to activate but it's in roam mode (we got an alltel tower here up and running april 1, give or take a day, but the phone is only roaming

so I call alltel tech support, explain I'm trying to get my phone turned on, said the phone was stuck in roam and couldn't do the *228, she said no problem she can talk me through the manual programming

once I said it was a diamond, she said she couldn't cause they don't put diamonds on a prepaid plan due to the data plan, I explained we were testing before actually putting on a regular account and told her I had the data turned off, she still refused to help manually set it up

anyone know the information I need in order to get it up and working (as a phone only right now, not the data)

or, since alltel got it setup in their system now, can I call verizon (which I have an account with) and get the phone activated with them
