Alltel to verizon Data not working

richgetsy · #1 (**permalink**) 07-29-2009, 03:44 PM

I'm almost done getting my Touch Pro onto verizon. I'm running a verizon ROM. I can send and receive calls and text messages. I did *228 option 1&2, which was successful. I still cannot connect to data and no mms. Any suggestions?

Rich,

I've been trying to accomplish the same thing. How were you able to get this to work? Are you a former Alltel account (converted to VZW)?

Any insights are appreciated, as I've just been trying to battle through the same thing.

best,

A.

I did that, I ran the cab, I didn't notice anything different.

Cool; was your account with Alltel or VZW before VZW bought Alltel?

best,

A.

Just ran into the same problem with my Alltel TP on Vzw network. The EPST MIP settings [on your phone dial ##778# (may be ##778 on some phones) choose edit and then your unlock code (000000 for alltel and vzw), then scroll down to MIP default settings] should look like these:

Also in EPST go to the security tab and change your settings to MDN@vzw3g.com where MDN is your 10 digit number

You will need QPST to do some of these steps - Google it the latest version is 2.7 build 323 - the touch pro is model SURF7500A
Then follow the steps here:

It was difficult, I had to do 3 or 4 DMU resets and I had to force mine into 1X mode by going deep into the basement, but it works fabulously now.
I would also recommend finding the thread that discusses how to copy your HA and AAA Secret codes so you can make backups as mine were erased with one of the ROM flashes.
Good luck it can be done.

I am recommending that we file a compliant with FCC against Verizon for not honoring their customer agreement to allow other CDMA phones on their network. Link below. I already filed one and it two about two minutes.. Let's make them pay.

check your server settings. if you cant edit them there is a reg hack i can post up if you need. also check your settings in EPST. it may still be set to altell.
