Hi,

If you haven't gotten your omnia activated on alltel yet, here is how to do it.

First, write down the ESN number (under the battery) cause they are gonna ask you for it. Next, call the 800 service number for alltel. Tell them that you have been having trouble with your old phone, bought a new CDMA phone off of EBay and would like to switch to it. This is where they will ask you for your ESN. Once you give it to them, they will do their magic on their computer, then tell you to dial *228 on your phone. IMPORTANT: At this point, you will dial *22801. This will do, what they need your phone to do. *228 will only connect you to Verizon. In fact, I suggest that you dial *22801 before you even call them to make sure that it does take you to Alltel.

That's it. Once the phone receives the programming, you are connected. They will have you make a test call and the girl called my cell to make sure that it could receive calls.

Hope this works for you. Only problem I have had so far with mine is that I can't get #777 to work (even though I have the data plan). I'm working on that, but if you find a way, would love to hear it.

Let me know if this works ok for you.
