Alltel Diamond on Verizon

daseff · #1 (**permalink**) 02-11-2009, 03:27 AM

I've browsed these forums as well as howardforums and was unable to find what I'm looking for. I know there's ways to get Sprint Diamonds on VZW, but what about Alltel Diamonds? Is it the same process? I feel like since Verizon acquired Alltel, it'd be easier to activate an Alltel phone on Verizon? Maybe I'm just stupid, haha. Any help or success stories would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I couldn't find any information about activating an Alltel branded Diamond on Verizon on that thread? That was about getting a Sprint branded Diamond on Alltel.
Thanks for responding though!

Its gonna be the same way for now, Verizon won't take any Alltel ESN's yet

I found a guy selling a Sprint Diamond who's willing to set it up for use with Verizon... does that sound shady? Or should I do it myself?

Outside of the ESNs, it should be the same process as it's veirtually the exact same phone.

I'd think you could use *228 option 3. Even though its not in the database, going through the programming this way seems to add it to the database. If a sprint phone isn't in the database and *228/3 gets it working, I don't see why an Alltel phone would not work unless Verizon specifically blocks Alltel ESNs.
