Can I use the Epic on Verizon or Page Plus?

I was wondering if I can use the Epic on Verizon or Page Plus?

The reason I ask is because I like the Epic since it has a physical keyboard but I'm currently on Verizon through my brothers family plan.

I only use about 200 minutes a month. No texts, and no data currently. I have no use for texts or data over the cell towers. I would use WiFi if its available if I needed to use data service. This is the reason I would like to use Page Plus for prepaid service.

From my understanding its possible to use a Sprint phone on Verizon but its not clear on what all is involved. If its possible to use the Epic on Verizon or Page Plus what would be required if I buy a new Epic phone that has not been activated yet?

Sorry there is no legal way to make the Epic run on Verizon...Page Plus reuses Verizon's network so its same story..:/

Actually, PagePlus will accept foreign ESN's LEGALLY

verizon won't though.

You would get voice to work and possibly texting.. in order to get data to work w/ page plus (if you were so inclined) you'd have to do some editing in the phone's PST menu.. further, you'll need CDMA workshop (paid verison) to change the MSL to all zeros for the phone to work on PagePlus.


Hopefully, this helps.
