Re: Quick nub question

Just want to clear up some misconceptions in this thread.

A: Verizon never activated other carriers equipment intentionally. The famous *228 option 3, which no longer works, would simply add a temporary "Default" or "Dummy" profile for the phone so it could be activated. Either this was done by design and changed due to idiots trying to call in to get these non-VZW phones working or this was never intended and was plugged as soon as they found out about it.

B: You cannot "unlock" a CDMA phone (the SPL unlock is not carrier specific and only required to install 3rd party ROMs, not switch carriers). Whoever said they could get it added as long as it was "unlocked" did not know what they were talking about.

C: The only way to get your non-VZW phone added to their DMD is to get in contact with someone in their tech support that knows how to get it done.

D: Most ROMs are generic. You do NOT have to have a VZW ROM for your TouchPro to work on VZW.
