4218kris is correct. Your SPC has to be all zero's for the OTA to work.

If you are looking for a cricket ready ROM there are plenty of them on here. Unfortunetly only a few will have a program on it called Arcsoft that is needed to have MMS working.

Head over to Howardforums.com and check out the Cricket forum. Plenty of info and help specifically towards cricket customers. My username on there is "FabricatedHero"...feel free to PM if you need any help getting your phone cricket capable.
