they use the same phones so if you can get an unlock code from sprint you should be able to unlock the phone and then alltel should be able to flash the phone so that it will work on there network, dont quote me on this but they are able to do it on most phones

Hit up eBay. You'll get rid of your phone quick fast and in a hurry and be on Alltel in no time.

there are people on here that have the 6800 on cricket - I can't imagine it would be that hard to get it on alltel?

A lot depends on the carrier, For example sprint and verizon typically will not touch phones that they do not specifically sell, For example, No sprint logo, not going to get activated on sprint.

Alltel may have a different policy on this, But Im not sure... Best thing you can do is go to an alltel store and ask if its possible to a rep, Explain how much you hate sprint and explain you would love to be one of their customers "Without" having to pay out the wazoo for a new PPC.

May I also ask, how did sprint screw up? I swear they have gotta be the king when it comes to mixed service... My experience with sprint is all good, But I sure see plenty of f*** ups all the time from them with friends and clients.

A esn is a esn......but telling the alltel rep its a sprint phone will get you denied.

Give the alltel rep the esn and your done. At least voice will work and maybe text. As for updating the prl, rom, getting data /etc to work you are on your own.

To save alot of trouble, just sell the mogul and buy a alltel 6800.
