sprint touch pro 2 on boost

[klownielokz]

hey peepz... i have my htc tp2 on boost everything works fine just wanted to kno how 2 activate my hot spot router... any help please.. thnx..

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum, but have searched and read quite a bit. I've been trying to activate my Sprint TP2 (purchased new with clean ESN on ebay) with Boost for many months. I have an account and have gotten very close recently with a CS rep who was willing to try to activate it. He got though the initial entry, but said when he got to the plan selection page there were no choices and he could not proceed. Any thoughts on what I could have told him to get through the next step of the activation process?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you have an existing account on Boost with a Boost phone?

Tell him you have a Razor or some other phone not a TP2.

I have an existing account with Boost Mobile with a W385 (CDMA). I've made many attempts to activate without success. Most often I've been told that the first three digits of the MEID are not Boost Mobile, 268 (mine are 270).
This last attempt it did seemed to go through. However, no plan (such as $50 unlimited, which I have) came up that he could chose from to continue the process....

Just keep trying many of us have been able to do it but i guess weve gotten lucky.

Why is the plan even a question all your doing is transferring phones on your account. It should just stay on your account with the same plan. all their suppose to know is that you have a boost phone. So its not like your upgrading to a boost phone that requires a special plan.

[Kris443]

yes. make it clear you are just changing equipment on the same account.

PM me and I will give you the number I found to activate my latest phone(if you have not already had success). It was a simple process. I talked to one person approximately 11pm est.... no problem. Told the CR it was a Boost phone "krzr" he laughed, gave the info to make the edits, retired my touch pro.

I currently have a sprint tp2 on my Boost mobile account working fully, here are the steps to get this done, First buy a boost mobile CDMA phone, its the ones with out walkie talkie, activate your new phone and then buy your touch pro 2, Call in and tell them your phone broke and you want to use a new one, they will ask you for the new esn number which is in the back under the battery, if they ask you what kind of phone it is you can either lie about it and say its a samsung rant or some other boost cdma phone, in my case i told them it was a sprint touch pro 2 and i was only using it until i could replace my broken boost phone, and they let me go with it, after you get the phone activated on boost mobile side of things, turn your phone on and it will usually program itself, after that to get mms working simply download the arcsoft cab at the bottom of this post, after that soft reset the device and then when ti reboots click on start and then text, at the bottom hit menu then Pics/ Video Options then at the bottom click on CDMA Servers, Then in the middle of the screen hit new, Where it says server name put in whatever you want it to be called, leave the gateway blank, put the port number to 80 amd put the server address to http://mm.myboostmobile.com Where it says connect via make sure it is set to sprint and then set your send limit to 300k after that hit done, now you should see your new connection on the CDMA servers tab, select the new connection and then hit set as default and that should enable your mms to work both ways!! Then do a soft reset and try using your new sprint tp2 on Boost. Just for refrence here is my story, i had a boost iden phone which is the walkie talkie phone, had it for a few months then got a cdma phone, had it for a few weeks bought my sprint tp2 brand new, from someone i knew, it was jsut a regular tp2 no hacks, no flashed anything just a completely stock phone, called up boost activated it, turned my phone on it programed its self then set up my mms and i was good to go!! My phone gets great service and im out in the country, I can tether with it and even have an app to make it a wifi hotspot. If you got any questions let me know and ill help best i can!! Heres your guide so follow it

Thank you for your help! I certainly hope I get past the activation through Boost CS to implement your guide. I'll let you you know how it goes...
