Easier phone to put on Verizon - Alltel or Sprint?

it wouldnt happen, but obsolutely could happen... carriers have independent licensing for patents...

itll all change eventually.. there was legislation awhile back that said when our contracts end, its unfair to consumer rights, not to be able to unlock the device and take it to another carrier.. because once our contract is over, WEVE fulfilled our terms and shouldnt have to be locked to that carrier still just because of the handset.............. this kinda lead to the fight of carrier exclusivity right to affect consumer rights/choice thats going on now... if carrier dont have exlcusivity rights, its make it easier to take devices from cdma carrier to cdma carrier and same with gsm..

just a thought

Sorry to dig up an old thread but decided to add to one instead of making another and here's proof that I searched haha

I'm on verizon and I just bought an alltel TP because of it being a Raphael 800 instead of the crippled 500 Also bought a parts Verizon TP for its ESN. The next part of what I'm going to do to this story I'm not going to say because its against the rules to discuss such matters.
So I would have now a Verizon ESN Raphael 800... like they should have made it (non crippled and a very powerful TP).

Would it be as simple as just taking all the epst parameters out of my XV6800/Tytn/Mogul ect which is currently my main phone I'm using now and on verizon, and copying them to the touch pro I have like the mdn, msid, min, (nam settings) and then doing a *228 option 1 and then *228 option 2? I'll be using a custom rom, Mighty Rom 6 because its got good ratings and what not. Thanks
