i just bought an Alltell treo pro, and attempted to get it actived both at the store, and over the phone with a rep. The store said no way, the guy on the phone said he's never heard over alltel phones being activated on verizon, but he would try anyway. upon entering the hex code off that back, it brought a message up on his end that said cannot complete operation: Alltel marketing restrictions, whatever that means. come on, this cannot be that difficult; they are both cdma, use practically the same network, and are both owned by the same major company. i've scoured the internet and found out how to activate verizon's data network on the phone AFTER it's been activated on verzion, but how can I even get it activated?? any help would be great.
