Re: Palm Pre hacked and running on Verizon
From what I have read in different websites this was done a few weeks ago when some was able to change the msid and esn to put it on cricket. Also I read that one person was able to put it on big read since the esn on the pre starts off as the same as the treo pro so he just said it was a treo pro, think they both start as a something.

Re: Palm Pre hacked and running on Verizon
the question is now, if vzw see our foreign phones on tneir network (shows up as other when on line) can vzw disable the phone or kick the phone off the account so it cant be used?

Re: Palm Pre hacked and running on Verizon
Are they allowed to do that? There's nothing illegal with using another phone on verizon, they just want to force you to buy their phones.

Re: Palm Pre hacked and running on Verizon
verizon open up there networks a few months ago and it said that they would activate any phone with a clean esn, or unlocked phone on there system. The hard part is finding a rep that knows how to input the meid on the system.

Re: Palm Pre hacked and running on Verizon
Do you guys realize that Sprint has faster data speeds than Verizon? I had Verizon for 6 years before finally switching to Sprint a year ago. The main reason I switched was because Verizon is way too expensive and I got tired of paying 350+ per month for two BlackBerries w/data and shared 1400 minutes. Add insurance on both lines, text bundle plus taxes and my *** still hurts... I pay 200 per month now for two lines (Simply Everything) and have anything and everything offered and UNLIMITED EVERYTHING. This includes insurance on both my phones and taxes. No more suprize phone bills. All that trouble to activate a Sprint phone on Verizon just to give them more of your hard earned money... I don't get it. If you want a Palm Pre then tell Verizon to take a hike like I did. I have just as good signal, call quality if not better. But data speeds with Sprint is noticably much faster. Just my opinion

Re: Palm Pre hacked and running on Verizon
As for faster data, I'd like to see the actual speed tests for that, and for the signal strengths overall it really depends on area. In my area, sprint has little coverage - I can be in the same house with a sprint person and I have a great signal and they have little.
But for the prices - I'm not sure what plan you had, but I have 1400 min, 5 lines, unlim text on all and data on one and pay $200/mo. If I just had 2, both with data, it'd be the same price (drop 3 lines - $30/mo, add data - $30/mo ;) |
