Treo Pro on Verizon
 

Has anyone had a Pro on Verizon, or know if it's possible?

Re: Treo Pro on Verizon
 

no, HardSPL isn't avaliable for it yet...unless you can buy an unlocked cdma version..

Re: Treo Pro on Verizon
 

I dont think that they sell unlocked CDMA phones and even if they did it would be up to verizon to activate it and i doubt that they would

Anybody manage to pull this off? I've started the process of getting my "Alltel" Treo Pro's MEID added into the DMD. The rep will call me back next Friday with the status of that.

Re: Treo Pro on Verizon
 

i just bought an Alltell treo pro, and attempted to get it actived both at the store, and over the phone with a rep. The store said no way, the guy on the phone said he's never heard over alltel phones being activated on verizon, but he would try anyway. upon entering the hex code off that back, it brought a message up on his end that said cannot complete operation: Alltel marketing restrictions, whatever that means. come on, this cannot be that difficult; they are both cdma, use practically the same network, and are both owned by the same major company. i've scoured the internet and found out how to activate verizon's data network on the phone AFTER it's been activated on verzion, but how can I even get it activated?? any help would be great.

I called Verizon today, and apparently my follow-up was scheduled for 6/9, not today. Supposedly if the MEID is added into the DMD, it will work.

Was your Alltel Treo Pro's MEID in the DMD? Mine's Sprint, so there's no way it would be in the DMD.

Re: Treo Pro on Verizon
 

To be honest, I know what the MEID is, but I have no idea what DMD is, thus it's tough for me to say.

Re: Treo Pro on Verizon
 

DMD stands for Device Management Database, which is basically a list of MEIDs and ESNs that can be activated on the Verizon network. Verizon-branded devices are in there automatically, but my Sprint device isn't in there. Your Alltel may already be in there due to the merger (but marked as what you mentioned), which could be why they are getting an error message.

Re: Treo Pro on Verizon
 

I understand; I've heard though that Verizon will activate any CDMA phone, regardless of company, so long as it complies with their service requirements and standards (E911, GPS location, etc), but evidentally this isn't the case. The rep that I spoke to told me that I may be able to activate in a couple months, but he's really just not sure. Is there any way I can get around this, or something else I can do?

Re: Treo Pro on Verizon
 

I'll keep you posted on how my Sprint device goes. It might be because your Alltel MEID is partly in the DMD. If it wasnt in the DMD, they would give you a MEID not found error.
