If the true ESN on the phone is clean, just activate it with sprint, I would think...assuming the phone is properly setup to use the sprint network...

Haha. Agreed. But seriously, have you all forgot the talk of the town circa 2006/2007??? Sprint mutually roams on verizon and even is allowed TV, movies, and streaming on VERIZON's 1xrtt where verizon customers are NOT! If you have sprint in NYC, and the towers are being shitty, the phone seamlessly pops on verizon towers. You can even LOCK some phones to verizon towers. Combined with the alltell agreement, sprint TECHNICALLY has the largest coverage area.

mmm... backed up with facts like a good little nerf herder: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprint_...ing_agreements

You want to change your ESN to get it on the network? It's a FEDERAL OFFENSE, and yes, they do consider it serious enough to actively go after you. Oh, yeah, and it STILL WON'T WORK. Any idea why? Oh, yeah, BECAUSE IT'S NOT A SPRINT PHONE.

Sorry about the overload of capslock, folks, but I can't stress this enough here.

If you want me to spell out why, I'll be glad to, but let's stop beating this dead horse already.

Wow.. dude.. Get a girlfriend or something. While changing esn might be "frowned upon" or even terminated service.. It's only a federal crime if doing so is with the intention of cloning a phone to steal service. that's the way the law is written. No one is hurt, nor cheated, so it's not imorral. service isnt' being stolen. What's wrong with you? why do you act angry and take it personal?

It's not a sprint phone? are sprint phones magic? no they are not. are tehy both cdma? yes they are. Will sprint and verizon phones work on each others networks? YES THEY WILL and people do it. please stop speaking out of your buttox.

While the first sentence was just gasoline on flames

I do agree with the rest of it. If you want to say stuff like this entropism then you have to back it with facts.

I am currently using a Droid Eris on Sprint's network. I am still working on getting Data to work but I do talk and Text as of right now.

Try changing the PRL to a Boost PRL?

obonilla30 · #29 (**permalink**) 09-28-2010, 01:16 AM

Changed the PRL but no go. Is really weird. As if you actuall had to change the rom. please correct me if I am wrong. I was experimenting with a tp2 from USC. and is the same thing despite that all the information is change it will not even have the greeting for anyother carrier. What I did was I used an energy rom and loaded the sprint provisioning however is not even giving the Sprint greeting. I am not trying to connect this phone to sprint or even clone it. I dont do that stuff. I am simply trying to understand a little bit more cell phones. I was ready to have this TP2 bricked but nothing happened. please advice on what I am missing here. ESN will not be added since phone screen is broken and I simply refuse to have it fixed. If someone wants it I can send it or pick it up once if you are in Chicago. is a U.S. cellular phone.
