that's sprint error message

Cricket won't care that you have a phone branded by another carrier, as they already know that much by the fact that you had to give them your IMEI and it wasn't in their system. They're likely the only ones that'll be able to easily help you.

Is that where is my problem?
Does cricket releases my ESN from sprint?
is that how it works?
or I have done something wrong unlocking the phone?

No, as I mentioned the phone needs a PRL which tells it which networks it is allowed to connect to. The PRL is a file that is normally loaded at the factory but can be loaded by an end-user if you have the proper tools.

Cricket may know a shortcut to changing the PRL or they may be able to load the new PRL in-store. I've never dealt with them so I don't know. But I don't think there is any harm in calling them back to tell them that you're getting an error message when you try doing the activation.

Yes I agree
before i do that I want to make sure my phone is unlocked correctly
BTW those settings in CDMA network configuration are suppose to be unavailable (gray) ?

Under network everything should be gray, under "CDMA Settings" all options should be available but there is nothing under that tab about chosing the network that you're on.

if you look at these attachments that's what I have
so like I say i got control over GSM networks not CDMA
I think I understand your point that CDMA carriers restrict phones settings to their own needs and we have no options to change that even if we unlock our phones
I try to be open and if I'm wrong please correct me

Correct. Cricket may be able to help you either over the phone or in the store. Otherwise you're likely going to have to keep poking around here and create a specific thread for switching to Cricket on a CDMA phone.
