I AM WRITING THIS IN ALL CAPS AND REALLY BIG LETTERS SO HOPEFULLY EVERYONE WHO IS TRYING TO GET THEIR TP FROM SPRINT OR ALLTEL ON THE VERIZON NETWORK WILL QUIT BEATING AROUND THE BUSH / WASTING TIME WITH METHODS THAT DO NOT WORK.

The instructions you need to follow are HERE:

YOU DO NOT NEED TO COPY FILES USING QPST, ETC.


Below are 3 examples of how simply calling the verizon tech department, and following the instructions in my post will get your phone working in a day or two.

Everyone posting here about copying files and copying EPST settings, are simply wasting your time. I know, I tried it, and there is no way around it.

Again... here is the post with the instructions that work.

So all of you that are posting wierd hacks, files copies etc. (You know who you are), please stop. it is confusing newcomers to this thread who simply need to get their phone working.

Thanks.

Dialing *228 option 3 and waiting for a tech didn't do any good. they tell me there is no way to add this phone to their network.

Now have to work on verifying GPS and AGPS functions.

thanks to all the people that contributed useful information to this thread. wish we could purge all the Sprint/Verizon is better into a different one so the info would be easier to locate.

The first two didn't know what I was talking about - I stayed polite but basically got off the phone as soon as I could. The third said they'd be glad to help me. Was called back 24 hours later with the good news and am now up and running.

Thanks to all who continued to post on this - I'm a happy camper right now and would have given up if not for this thread.
