thanks for the replies tripflex and noir. when you say enter the unlock code? is that a code that i should know? or is it some default code like 0000?

The unlock code is also called your MSL code. It is unique on every Sprint phone to keep guys like us from tinkering with settings that the carrier doesn't want us playing with. It is a 6 digit code. If you followed the directions here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=120 then your MSL will be 000000.

Otherwise you need the little program that Baffles created to give you your MSL. You can get it here: http://www.baf.cc/bafmsl. Just copy the .exe file to your phone and run it. [note that you'll need the MS .net framework version 3.5 installed].

Write this code down somewhere special and save it. You'll need it for many changes later in your phone's life.

There is a stark contrast between what verizon _says_ and what verizon _does_. Out of one side of their mouth, they say: "Any device that meets the minimum technical standard will be activated on the network. "

However, we've seen them tightening down on what they actually allow.

Aright, just a thought but has anyone had any success stories of getting the their esn added and the whole operation after the *228 "fix" (I hate even calling it that)?

I had a VZ tech add an MEID for me a few weeks ago. I knew the guy, but he left Verizon shortly after adding it for me.

if anyone does know a tech that will add MEIDs please PM me their name and contact info. I'd like to get mine added if it was a reasonably sure thing that I could.

I'm going to echo helix139's sentiments if any one knows someone on the inside that can get it done it would be greatly appreciated. Please PM me and let me know some contact info. I understand that there's really nothing in it for them but a gold star but a multitude of thanks would be handed out. Especially after I got so close with the tech I got off the phone with telling me about the 3 week "testing" option that I'm not too sure about...

I haven't really kept up with the treads for a month or so, work has been quite the pain lately, and yes I've tried searching but haven't found what I'm looking for.

Q: For us Sprint TP on VzW people, does this latest release allow us to get the *228 functionality back without having to load the modified PRL to remove the roaming icon?

I assume the new PRI would allow us to use the *228 to download the proper Verizon PRL, which would mean we are using Verizon approved PRI and PRL and still having the GPS, Data and Voice capabilities. I just want to see if anyone has.

1. Loaded the new Verizon PRI (which version was it)
2. Does GPS/Voice/Data continue to work fine (I assume it would)
3. Does *228 result in full PRL download without roaming icon?
4. Did you try the new VzW radio? If so, did it improve anything over the other radios (I'm using 1.07.06F and find it pretty balanced). How was the battery life?

Thanks + Kudos (and no, unfortunately not the snack bar) come your way for valid responses.
