CDMA Sprint TP2 on Boost Mobile

[t800w]

Is there a standard on all these sprint phones? I got windows mobile 6.1 on my htc snap, I got all the things working, and sometimes the text goes through without having to type in ****@vzwtxt.com or whatever to send a text. I guess what I am asking is on a stock rom is there a way to change the settings so I can text like normal again? No way I will call boost, they said my phone wouldn't work but it did, he even said to my wife it wont work, we already had it programmed at that point he just didn't understand us lol. so now all works just the MMS SMS is flaky. Sorry to hijack but I searched and found nothing on the snap!

Hi I was looking to add the htc tp2 on my boost account and was wondering if you can help?

thanks

It's best to buy an older used Boost branded CDMA phone, you can probably find one on ebay for about 20+ bucks depending on the model of phone. Look for Motorola C290, W385, and KRZR1...make sure esn is clear before purchasing it. If you do not want to go that route, you can purchase the new Boost CDMA phones (Sanyo Incognito or Samsung Rant).

Anyways, don't know if I can post all the steps on how to do it on here, but if you like, you can PM me, and I'll tell you how to do it.

EDIT: If I get a few people asking on how to get the TP2 on Boost Mobile, I'll write up a guide on how to do it.

If I helped you in any way, feel free to hit the "Thanks" button.

Real simple. You have to have an active Boost Mobile CDMA (non walkie talkie) account working. Next call customer service, tell them:

A. You have an Incognito or
B. Tell them you have an old broken phone you want to activate because your current one broke. Tell them its an old cheap phone your buddy gave you. Tell them you can't even see the model anymore.

Whatever you do, do not tell them you have a TP2 you want to activate. The TP2 must be a Sprint phone in order to work. Be comfortable and courteous. The Rep should guide you through the steps to get it activated. Once activated, text, data, and phone should work right out the box. MMS might not. The TP2 is sluggish out of the box, so you might want to do some upgrading.


If you want a fast and snappy TP2. Go to Mighty Rom, download 6.20 version, install MMS, Cookie, CHt, overclocking, and your good to go!! (hahaha, seriously, this is what I have. Overclocking at 748! Super fast TP2!)

Which overclocking and MMS program do you use with MightyROM?
