Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Anyone here know if all the features will work i.e. sms,mms, data etc when this phone is connected on boostmobile. Or will we have to do some type of configuration like on the Sprint TP2.

I know that maybe i wont be able to access 4g connection when connected to boostmobile but where i live there is no 4g connection so that doesnt matter.


Please no one state that it is not possible to connect a Sprint phone on boost mobile. Also before someone states that boostmobile is only IDEN verify that because boostmobile also has CDMA which works on Sprints network. I know for a fact because i have a Sprint Tp2 on Boostmobile with everything working as it should.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

The problem with boost mobile is not the CDMA portion...to get the TP2 working you transfer it from the Sprint ESN DB to the Boost Mobile ESN DB...

The problem is so far only phones that are legacy plans compatible have been ported. Example, I have not heard of an EVO being ported to Boost. The TP2 works on legacy plans thus making it possible to be ported.

The only other brand that is rumored to get the phone is the Clear brand.

sorry, I wish it were possible too :(

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Wont we just be able to call boost C.S. and give them a sorry excuse why our old phone doesnt work and that we got a new one if they can transfer the account to that one give them the esn and act dumb and say we dont know what type of phone it actually is and when C.S. ask us if its a sprint phone we say "NO" its boost its just some red phone. and wait to see if their system gets it.

What is the legacy plans? is that what the boost unlimited plans are called?

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Sprint at one point made the "Everything Plans" and required all new phones to be on these plans, all the plans before that are called "legacy plans"..to get people to switch over to these more expensive plans, they limited the usable devices.

Boost is equivalent to a legacy plan...even if the CS wanted to they couldn't do it..it would tell them this phone is incompatible with this plan.

It is hard locked by the system...

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

What your saying is that when i give the ESN # their system is gonna reject it because the ESN# is gonna be linked some how to the Everything plan?

well hopefully someone will be able to go around the Hard locked system as soon as it is released. By the way any stated release date for it and anyone know how much its gonna cost.

Also ive seen that you have to pay for the 4g access 10 additional dollars but what if there isnt any 4g access where i live.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

yes something like that

The only way around it is not legal...if people were able to get around legally it they would have done a year ago when this was introduced.

As for price, guess is 200$-250$

Release date is "somewhere in the summer"..There is a thread on releases..we at least know it won't be till july 11th but can be as late as september..But maybe they will do it in July as they are taking shots at the iPhone with this phones in their documents.

The $10 is there no matter what..its a "cool tax" as many call it...

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

So how much does the everything plan cost including the "COOL TAX" a month

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

79.99$ a month...but you can get things like EDRP it will be 69.99$ or you can get things like 27% off the 79.99$ rate...

others were able to get $10 credit extra to cover the "cool tax"

Also for family plans, you gotta pay $10 extra per line.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

What is EDRP and how do i get it. How can i get 27% of the 79.99 rate.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

EDRP (you can find the stuff needed to get through if you google for it)

Epic on Boost everything working exept for internet need help
 

.......Update everything is now working.......

Re: Epic on Boost everything working exept for internet need help
 

Harder or not..the ability to add Epic is fairly recent so not many know about the exact details yet...best I can offer is try to Google for it and other Android devices on Boost to see if they have similar issues with a solution.

Re: Epic on Boost everything working exept for internet need help
 

Check your pm box

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Oh yes the epic can be connected to boost and everything works......There is nothing you can't do once you put your mind to it....programers rule...:-P

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Yes its possible now, it just wasn't possible before. It was not a programming thing..it was ESN limitation which was lifted recently.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Say what does that mean i can connect my Epic on boost just like i did the TP2. When did the ESN limitation get lifted. :cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers::cheers:

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Well I just seen a few posts about Evo and other Android device after oct 1st..so maybe then..but I'm not 100% sure let me double check if this is the case.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Will be waiting on your reply.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Seems like I jumped the gun, I guess since oct 1st there just has been a lot of confusion with the changes..so far there is no legal way to get Evo or Epic on boost.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Well I'm not sure how it was done I just purchased it like that...is there a legal way to get the tp2 on boost?

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Curious how much you paid for the Epic active on Boost ?

The TP2 can be done legally and very easily FWIW.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Can you explain I'm confused.....

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

What??? I'm pissed off I'm gonna do some research.... if it was done illegally I'm taken this thing back and I want a full refund........or else.......Thread Closed for now...........will update with results.

Re: Epic on Boost everything working exept for internet need help
 

Thread Closed...for now doing some research to find out if it was legit......will update with results........................................... ........................................

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

I merged a few threads that were discussing Boost and the Epic.

Thanks for understanding......

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Typically, in order to put a device on Boost that's not allowed or approved (the samsung moment for example..) it requires taking some information off of a 'donor phone'.. then, putting this information onto the 'non-approved/allowed' phone. The last step is changing the ESN on the non-allowed phone so that it is the same as the donor phone. Afterwards, the carrier 'sees' the donor phone on their network instead of the 'actual' phone.

I'm not going into any more detail than what I have already due to the forum rules. This is vague enough to be allowed, but any more specific could get me in hot water. I think you can follow what's happened here.

The TP2 is easy and 'allowed' although not approved. To put a TP2 on boost, you first activate your account w/ an approved (real boost) device, then you call customer service and tell them you'd like to do a device swap on your account. They ask for the new MEID, you give them the MEID of the TP2 and they activate it. No illegal or shady antics.

Hope this helps

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

I think I understand....Your saying that putting the tp2 on boost is not illegal because you can do it on the phone with a rep by not letting them know its a tp2. even though your are switching account info from another phone. But because you cannot connect a epic to boost on the phone with a rep its illegal....something sounds wrong...so its ok to let them switch numbers and thats legal but if you do it its illegal...uhh

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

'allowed' although not approved.......?

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

In case of the TP2 you are putting it on without them knowing but in worse case your jsut tricking them..when you change an ESN on a phone or in possession of one your breaking federal and state laws.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Understood...so you can trick but you can't treat.....lol....I'm done this case is closed in my book...

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Hopefully it becomes possible to put the epic on boost just like the Tp2. Anyone that has a way feel free to share.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

The Epic is a sprint exclusive device just like the palm pre. No exclusive devices are allowed on Boost. Further, no android devices are allowed on boost.

There is a way to get the Epic on boost, similar to the way in which I had a samsung moment and an HTC hero on boost. The methods for doing so cannot be discussed here though due to forum rules. Suffice it to say that it's not the most 'legal' thing to do ;)

Where there is a will, there will always be a way.. heh..

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

anyone yet get a way to do this let me know. TIA

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

The "ways to do this" are readily available with some searching, although, not on this forum.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

send me on the right path then

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

cdma gurus are really good at doing the type of thing you're suggesting.

(spoken in 'code' here.. hopefully you'll get the hint as I do not want to get a warning or be banned for breaking the TOS)

There is not a guide for doing what you're suggesting. There is information available though. One can piece the information together enough to get the job done.

Hope this helps

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

Per forum rules, we are not allowed to discuss things of this nature.

I can tell you (safely) that the tools that you're using, you're using incorrectly.

AND, you may need more tools.

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

I wish there was store down the street that I can walk into, it is called "illegal esn swapping" that would be awesome!

Re: Sprint Epic 4g on Boost Mobile
 

I think that store would have many customers. many repeat customers too i bet. LOL :mrgreen:
