Sprint Diamond on VZW network?
 

I have over and over again had sprint devices on my verizon account dating back to probably sometime in 01... Now for the first time I am completely unable to get the process underway. From the get go my MEID is not accepted from verizon. A Verizon tech informed me to get the subsidy code releaseing the MEID to me from Sprint... Then once it is in my ownership I can take it to Verizon, and the OTA or manual programming is up to me... Thats fine, that part I can do. But I just got out of a heated arguement at a Sprint store and left with no subsidy code, and every time I call their 800 number it leads to a cultural disaster, with neither end understanding the other... And no bump ups to a higher tech level. So I am at a loss... I have searched all the threads and can not find anything about getting this exact phone on Vzw, I cant even find proof that anyone has done it yet! Can someone please help???!!!

Use this method to get the MSL... Worked like a charm to get the code for me, though I am on Cricket. It was originally a Sprint Diamond. Side note; you WILL need a reg editor to use the method in the post listed.

Crap, I feel like that dumb kid not understanding what everyone else can! I read the thread in the link you provided. I havn't gone through the motions yet simply because Im not all too certain how finding my PRL will make verizons system accept my MEID. Someone please spell it out to me!?! What all do I need to do?

Oh, And Im chatting with sprint reps now weighing my options.... If anyone has some input dont hesitate to respond before I do something rash, lol.

Hit ##778#, select "view" your Hex and Dec ESN will be there... Give them that instead. :)

That is to find the MSL, you will need that in order to update the PRL which will cause the phone to look to Verizons towers. No MSL = no PRL = No Verizon.

I did that just now and VZW's page still wont take the ESN in DEC, HEX or MEID form??!!

But I dont know if the phone seeing verizons towers is really the problem... It seems to be that verizon just wont acknologe the phones identity fromt he get go... Its not a tower honing issue, or an ota issue, its just getting them to say ok to the esn

I think I just pissed off my 5th sprint rep too, lol.... Thats one in store rep, three chat reps, and one tele sales rep. Lovely

I would say to add the ESN to Verizon you will probably have to call them since it is an outside (read: Sprint) phone. I am guessing the online ESN switcher is only able to be used for ESNs already in their database.
