Program my Touch Pro for Sprint.. HOW?

[petermg]

Ok, so I got my Touch Pro from another carrier to be accepted on the Sprint network... I can make calls.. and data KINDA works.. but usually only for about 5 mins, then I get no response from the network. Any ideas? I know some people have reprogrammed Sprint Touch Pros for other carriers like Alltell or Cricket, any success reverting back to Sprint? Although this is not originally a Sprint TP.

you got sprint to accept a ESN not on there DMD? how exactly did you do this because this will be the FIRST TIME i have ever heard this.

The following statements are true:

1. Sprint will not activate a non-Sprint branded phone.
2. If you activated this phone on Sprint, and Sprint actually took the ESN, then it was a Sprint phone to begin with.
3. If you think there are exceptions, please see #1.

Can I activate a non-Sprint CDMA phone on the Sprint network?

No. Sprint maintains a database of all Electronic Serial Numbers cleared for use on the CDMA network, and will not permit the home location registers to accept serials numbers that are not in the approved list. Some Nextel phones may carry the Sprint logo, these can only be used on the Sprint Nextel iDEN network.
From a business perspective, Sprint has agreements with certain re-sellers of wireless service that specifically disallows either party from activating a phone whose ESN originated from the other party. In other words, you cannot activate a Virgin, STI, or ESPN Mobile (or any other MVNO's phone) on Sprint PCS. This would be a breach of this contract between Sprint and the virtual network.

Reading Comprehension....

The OP states he already has it on the Sprint Network and is able to make calls with it. So please everyone continue to be nit-wits and explain how they are not able to do it....

OP: You're going to need them to update the security settings. On VZW it's DMU settings that need to be reset, might be same settings for Sprint.

THANK YOU! Yes, making calls, and data works, but seems to fail after about 5 mins or so. I noticed also that the IP I get has a the subnet of 255.255.0.0 rather than 255.255.255.255. Don't know if that means anything...? From most of the responses however doesn't look like this is an easy question to answer...
