[joey100282]

lol ill attempt to google it in a few. seriously though, could ya possibly tell me what it is? I've flahed, locked, and unlocked many phones, just curious what this is. and also are ya saying that whatever this mobile file thing is, that's what I need to do to get it working on vz?

I spent 3 weeks trying to get the so called "OPEN" network to accept one of my 3 Qwest HTC 6800s 2 of which were just active 2 days before I switched handsets.
I've been with VZW since Qwest dumped me in their lap.
With 2 6800's and 3 more clamshell's, all 5 lines active for more than a year.
And then the data plan.
2 level 3 tech's and 3 weeks of "7 to 10 days",
I finally raised enough stink to get a bleeding heart discount.

Long story short, $55.00 later and I now own my second BNIB XV6800.
Now the TP is selling for $99.oo (with 2yr.).

I might hold out till the TP2. The TP seems so flimsy, at least the one that I held at the store was.
I would get them to sell you a TP for the $99.USD (if thats what you really want) for their refusal to be fair.
It might just work, they are the best team of customer service reps that I have seen in a long time.
I just don't care much for their refusal to let me use my Qwest 6800's as a backup.

Happy hunting...

All of this brouhaha caused my to switch to Sprint for the same service (I am in a VZW PCS area) for half the price. VZW lost 35 years of customer loyalty from me and my wife.

I called back many times to get this phone back on and they had told me each time that the meid was flagged as sprint and for legal reasons could not be activated. So this is just my experiance.

So good luck if you got your on or if you are still trying. if you do don't activate another phone thinking you can put your sprint tp back on easy.

if for legal reasons they can not activate a sprint phone then why dont they de-activate the ones like mine that are on vzw network? It would seem to me they can find the non vzw msid ens and kick them off...

OMG! So I got my TP working but I can't get the dang data to work!!!
I keep getting the Error 11 PPP Connection error message every time an app with data wants to run, VOICE and TXT works perfect! I followed the instructions to convert my device to verizon to the T and Im going over it over and over again... and I can't seem to see what is wrong...


What could be the problem?
This is what I got.
I got the PRL from the instructions, VZW rom (stock).

THANKS!!!

Ok so i am curious, how did it go with getting verizon to add the esn? did they give you a bunch of problems, anything in particular you said to them? im about to do this as i really need to get my tp working, and thats the only part im worried about. i want to call them asap, but like i said, im curious as to how to go about saying it to them. like to hear any words of advice you may be able to offer to me. I would be so grateful.

Just wanted to let everyone know that I got verizon to add my sprint touch pro esn to their network. Call into customer service to activate it. The first person you talk to will say their system won't accept it. Ask them to add it. They will probably say its not possible. Ask them to transfer you to tech support so you can check. Once talking to tech support ask them to add the ESN number to their database. I know everyone says not too, but I told them that I have a sprint HTC touch pro that I flash with the verizon firmware that i want to use on their network. I told them when I dial 611 or *228 i get verizon. So tech create a ticket to have the ESN added to the network. It took about 72hours and I was able to activate it. The only thing I haven't figured out yet is getting evdo to work. The data works but only on 1x. I think its something with the security keys

Did anybody ever find out how to get this roaming indicator off the phone, because this is really killing my battery life?!?
