i have two treo pros that were on alltel 2 weeks before the take over and they work fine. i even get to keep the unlimited tethering for free, since it was free from alltel.

That makes sence since you were originally from Alltel...I never was and am stuck with Verizon's joke for decent PDA phones.

A little progress on my Sprint Treo Pro...I had a friend activate it on PagePlus, a Verizon MVNO. That just might get my MEID into the DMD, and when I tried *228 option 3, it did not give me an error (just said that it needed to connect me to CS to complete it).

Unfortunately, right now, Verizon CS is closed, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to call them and see if it will activate...

It is fully possible to use ANY CDMA Treo Pro on ANY North American CDMA carrier (with data working as well as voice/sms/etc). The same method used to make the Palm Pre work on Verizon applies here, there is no unlocker/hardspl/etc necessary. In fact, with a majority of phones there is no need for an unlocker/hardspl to use the phone on a different network. You don't even need to do anything carrier sided to get it to work, everything necessary is done by you at your computer. Afterwards you just call Verizon/Sprint/etc and your device will be active on their network.

Nope, online ESN changer doesn't accept non-VZW ESNs...

Could it be that it just cannot be done online? I don't mean to be rude but I can personally guarantee that it works as I have done it for a friend with my old Treo Pro and watched it go through without a hitch.

There was a brief period of time when there was a glitch and any phone could be activated using *228 option 3, so that is probably why it went through without issue. That back door has since been patched...

I was not aware of that, but it is still very possible to do it as of right now.
I would post the instructions but it consists of various federal offenses you will commit by doing so (and would probably violate the forum's rules?).
I will tell you though that if you do still wish to purse this method you can find the information on a forum by searching google for what you intend to do, specifically.
PM me if you have any questions.
