Sprint Touch Pro2 on PagePlus?

Can you activate a Sprint Touch Pro2 on PagePlus?
Mine is Security & SIM unlocked, currently using an AT&T SIM card. Wonder about combining it with PagePlus on the CDMA network. That doesn't use a SIM card does it? I switched my network setting to CDMA only, and activated my phone on PagePlus and was told to dial *22890 or *228, but it didn't do anything.

pageplus
Anyone know exactly what you have to do to get a Sprint Touch Pro2 phone to work on PagePlus?

they would have to add the esn or meid to their database and "accept" the phone. good luck soldier.

You just said its SIM unlocked....Pageplus is CDMA only, cannot use a SIM card phone. Mainly verizon and sprint phones on pageplus

Don't waste your time. Ive been trying since the 13th to get VZW to add my ESN to their DB. your best bet is to do an ESN modification.

Page Plus will activate any unlocked CDMA phone. It can't be that difficult. Email their customer service and see what they say.

ACtivated but no data
Sprint Touch Pro2 now activated on PagePlus, but only text and voice. I've used EPST & QPST to alter settings, but can't get data.
Anyone successful at this?

Maybe you should flash a cooked ROM on it and do the Verizon provisioning. That might get your data going...

I am using a cooked ROM, and have loaded Verizon provisioning, I think. Have you done this on yours and got it working? What ROM? Can you give me a link to the provisioning cab you used? That'd be great!
thanks.

No, I haven't done it. I activated a Verizon phone on Page Plus for a friend a while back, but that is the only experience I have with them.
Maybe put one of the cooked ROMs that is made for Verizon on your phone. That would essentially turn it into a Verizon phone, so I don't see what difference there could be.

whoa!!!

I guess that is a possibility as both roms are CDMA. I would research it carefully beforehand. If you can get txt and voice there shouldn't be any reason you can't get data. sd

Not sure if this will help but I activated my xv6800 on PagePlus and voice & text worked but not data. Once I changed the Data Connection login to the following, data worked.

Let me know if it works as I just got a Sprint Touch Pro I plan to activate on PagePlus

The Sprint TP2 (which the OP said he was using) is a CDMA/GSM world phone.
Which means it has a SIM card for the GSM radio in addition to an ESN for the CDMA radio.
Just because the phone takes a SIM card doesn't mean it is GSM only.

Hi Guys, Im an old newb but got some info for ya....
First, pageplus info is best found over at HowardForums.com, in the pageplus forums, please go there, and research, tons of info, but off the back, If anyone needs to get a line activated on Pageplus PM me, I can assist with that.
Use these detail, which I obtained from the Sprint HTC Phone to Pageplus Wiki pages over at HoFo: wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Most_HTC_Devices, mods please let me know if this kind o post is prohibited
PS: the info on XDA is usually so good that I hardly ever need to post... But I would like to be more help to soemone, since so many otherz do the same...

Still yet to find even one person who personally has had success getting data on a SPRINT Touch Pro2 with PagePlus...
No one??
I've gotten dozens of folks who tell me how to do it, but I have yet to see anyone personally accomplish it.

Please access the link in the above post...attempt to do it yourself, then you report back...

bull crap
theres no way this can be right. I have tried
Username: min
Password: vzw
Dialup number: #777
The user must set the proxy server to - ppcgw1.vzwreseller.com
Ports must be set to - 8080
i have also tried
Username: qnc
Password: qnc
Dialup number: #777
and i mixed them both! Im pulling my hair out man! there has got to be somebody that knows something.
there is no way we cant find away around this like for metro or cricket. i had a diamond and touch pro with data and mms on metro and pageplus is a very cheap company that doesnt even have a server to begin with. when they activated my phone they got me on file for a samsung flip phone!
I have a sprint touch pro2 what is the deal!

I've seen a couple posts on PPC Geeks where people have got Sprint Touch Pro 2's working on Verizon. I would imagine it's probably the exact same process to get it working on Page Plus.
Maybe you should search for people that got it working on Verizon. I would imagine you'll have better luck that way.

Upgraded Apace won't activate on Sprint, WHY!

I just upgraded someone else's Sprint PPC 6700 to WM6. I followed the instructions and it upgraded with no trouble. I made a *2 test call and got Sprint customer service. However, when this guy tried to activate his phone (it was bought off eBay) Sprint said that it couldn't be activated. They said it had been flashed to another network, but I don't see how that's possible. Should I have run a carrier CAB file or something on it? Please help, I'm fairly new to this. I upgraded my sister's HTC Dash with no trouble, but I'm afraid I ruined this guy's phone.
So...
1. Why would Sprint think it was flashed to another network?
2. What can I do to make it work for Sprint?
3. Is there anyway I can reverse the process, maybe flash it to the original ROM (and where can I find that)?
Thank you so much for your help.

Question: Sprint Touch Pro 2 be activated on Verizon

After much searching I found lots of 'no you can't's, but I haven't found any posts that are recent, ...in the last 6 months.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2 that I successfully got working on Page Plus. I would like to get it on my folks' Verizon family plan. I called an agent and they said if it doesn't have a Verizon logo on it, it's not possible.
I question this, but I've found no one of late posting about this.
I think the phone will work on Verizon, it may just need the ESN number activated on their network.
I remember someone here or at PPCGeeks activated it for me on PagePlus, is there anyone/any way to activate it on Verizon?
I like the phone, I just don't need data, so I don't want a regular Verizon phone.
thanks,

Yes, you can get it activated on VZW... The only problem is this... you can't do it legally or ethically... It would involve doing things against VZW's rules as well as the law... and you would need a "broken" TP2 (or other VZW phone) to do it... But that aside... the reason it worked with PagePlus is because they allow outside phones on their network, with giving you the responsibility to make it work on their network.. VZW is vey explicit that they will NOT allow anyone elses phones on their network (same with Sprint)... They are the worse 2 when it comes to that IMO..... Sorry to the bad news.... But sometimes that is how it goes.... Maybe you can post an ad on here offering to trade someone yours for the VZW version.. or maybe Craigslist?

Thanks,
Trading for a verizon phone won't work, as then I'll have to get data.
My bottom line question:
I need a smart phone, but I NEVER need data, wifi is always available for me. But I guess there is no way to have an Android phone on a Verizon network, without a data plan?

Not legally anyways, that's one of the downsides to using CDMA, the carrier has much greater control over what kind of phone you use. Thankfully they can't control the Rom/OS you run on it .

You need a Verizon rep that knows what they're doing, it can be done.

[Q] HTC Mazaa activation on Verizon

This question has been asked two times already but in the middle of huge discussion threads and there hasn't been an answer yet, so I thought I'd try again.
There is no way I can find to specify carrier information or get into a "programming" mode via the provided Mango apps. I took it to Verizon and the IME was fine, but the programming codes for the Trophy didn't do anything on the Mazaa so they couldn't activate it.
I did pop in a friend's T-Mobile SIM card and it connected and worked just fine via that route.
I emailed HTC and they said they don't have that information and there is no unlock code since the phone isn't locked.
So, anyone have any clue about how to get this phone provisioned on Verizon? It's running the retail Mango as of yesterday.
Thanks in advance!

Well I have a trophy on Verizon now and I know how tough it is to get Verizon to work with you on this. I am going back to tmobile soon so I need a tmobile phone. Because it's unlikely you'll get the Mazaa to work on Verizon, I will happily trade you my mint trophy with box and all accessories for the Mazaa. I will also add cash or maybe my HP Touchpad with case and dock....
Im not trying to take advantage of you or anything like that, it just seems like it could be good for both of us.
PM me if interested.

lol that is because it is not locked. locked phones are only an issue with GSM phones. Verizon uses CDMA. Basically, t-mobile and AT&T use sim cards, while Verizon does not. You can not take a Verizon phone and use it for t-mobile or AT&T and vice versa. Simply not possible as they use completely different tech.

Yeah, I know the phone isn't locked. I already said that.
Do you personally know how to provision and unlocked phone to work with Verizon? The HTC Connection Setup says it can't find a database and exits when I run it.
Does anyone know if its possible to copy carrier specific provisioning information from a retail Verizon WP7 rom and inject that into the rom on my phone? The HTC Trophy seems to be the nearest match. At the least it would be great if I could copy over "the database" from the one ROM image to mine.
Open for suggestions here..

Sprint HTC Mazaa activation
I am also looking how to activate my Mazaa on Sprint. Sprint refuses to add it to their network and it can't even find a cell tower. When I look at the settings page and choose about the phone it appears to be setup for Verizon, although I don't have Verizon and can't verify this for sure.
How did u get the HTC connection setup app to even run? Mine immediately just says I don't have an HTC phone and exits!

unlocked is not everything.
GSM phones cannot be used in CDMA networks, and vice versa. What you need is a CDMA phone, to work with the Verzion network. (GSM and CDMA are not software matters, you cannot simply solve by flashing different ROMs)

Phone is Quad Band
Thanks but the phone is a quad band and can work on all of the carriers.

HTC Trophy Rom Dump
I grabbed the Trophy ROM and looked at the image. There is a folder called operatorpkg in the OEM folder that looks to contain the provisioning information and databases. It also includes some Verizon audio files and some PROVXML files for configuration of Verizon.
I don't think there's a way to get a ROM DUMP from a Mango phone yet, is there? If there's a process I could dump the ROM and check for the operatorpkg folder but my guess is that it would be missing on the Mazaa.
Am I naive to assume that copying the operatorpkg from the Trophy (and nothing else from that image) into the ROM image of the Mazaa would essentially make the Mazaa a Verizon-capable phone?
If anyone knows how to dump a dev-unlocked Mango phone's ROM please advise.

Another HTC Mazaa Request
I too have a "developer" HTC Mazaa, version 7661.wp7_5_trial(mojobld).20110607-1657 and have so far have zero success in activating it on Verizon. It works great as a WiFi device and I want to use it to replace my current phone.
For those who have gotten it to work, PLEASE PROVIDE SPECIFICS. When I take it Verizon and use the IMEI and/or MEID, it "provisions", but as a "test" device. It can't see the network and still gives three beeps when I call ANY number, including *611 or *228. Further, since it's not a "retail" device they apparently don't know the program sequence (the #-#-something-something number that puts the phone in setup mode), and the sequence code one for the very similar HTC Trophy didn't work.
Is there an HTC Mazaa RUU ROM image out there that someone can point me to? I haven't found one yet.
Also, has anyone figured out the HTC Connection and HTC Hub apps to work? HTC Hub says "attention required" and won't uninstall nor install. Also, HTC Connection Setup warns "there is no SIM card" even though it's supposed to work on both CDMA networks (w/o SIM).
Again, please provide SPECIFICS if you can help, (or at this point even "hunches" would be OK --LOL) or if you can direct me to a source who can, I'd appreciate it.

cdma phone
I contacted the person at Microsoft who arranged getting me the dev phone and they swapped it with one that works on Verizon. Just did a "switch device" on their web page and it works great!

Next Issue
So I have the Verizon enabled Mazaa and it works great, EXCEPT I can't send or receive media via SMS. Everything says I need to run HTC Connection Setup, but I can't because it tells me I have no SIM card!
Apparently Connection Setup configures everything needed to do what I'm after, but I can't run it.
Anyone have any ideas?

Wow. You actually got it to work on Verizon? How? Please provide the details. I originally gave up on getting mine provisioned on Verizon and went to Tmobile where it worked like a charm. The problem is, there's NO Tmobile reception in my office complex so I've got to go back to Verizon, with this or another phone. The more details you can provide, the better. Feel free to PM me.

There is an FFU file posted in another thread that may provision the device on Verizon for you. MS sends the device out provisioned for either GSM or CDMA. They didn't provide a method of changing the configuration on our own.
So, to get it on Verizon, you can either contact MS and send it back to be flashed with the CDMA image, or you can try flashing the FFU that was posted here. Mine was originally provisioned for Verizon, but to get Mango I had to flash the FFU - so I am successfully using that same FFU image on Verizon.
Be warned that MMS & 3G don't work on Verizon (SMS does, though). I also get occassional crashes on my Mazaa.

[Q] No Internet sharing on unlocked ATT devices???

I'm hoping this will be figured out since it's a major feature that will never get to be used.
I for one am using the ATT Titan unlocked and on a different carrier (Telus) and yet when switching it on it still asks me to contact ATT or dial 611 to use tethering.
I highly doubt calling ATT from Canada will allow me to use this feature. I also doubt Telus (who doesn't support non Telus phones) will be able to help me either. I also doubt HTC can do anything.
There has to be a workaround for this.

I have got the same problem using an AT&T Samsung Focus S on Rogers. there seem to be no way to remove this unless you get it dev unlocked and play with the settings.
but even that is impossible now since Chevron Unlock has been down for a while now.
its actually a feature i used almost everyday. im gonna give it a few days, if there is still no solution, im going back to my galaxy s2. as much as i hate android, at least when you pay 500$ for a phone, you can what u want with it.

I would think that for HTC devices, that you could use the HTC Connection Setup app to configure your device for your carrier and that should point it in the right direction.
Most other manufacturer's provide a similar tool for their phones and I would assume using those tools would also configure your device to work specifically on other carriers.
Otherwise, it would be something that you'd have to contact HTC/Samsung/LG to see if they can provide a tool or fix to configure your device properly.

I doubt they would help since they sell devices to carriers, they will tell you to contact carriers. I downloaded the Samsung Wireless manager but even though i use Rogers APN, it seems stuck on AT&T APN for the Internet connection sharing.
aside from this issue i really liked the phone, too bad !

I have the same thing on my HTC titan from at&t - amazing phone but the tethering is a bummer --> starting to think I should have got the HTC ultimate from Brazil - it has the same bands as the at&t one but doesn't have any of the carrier branding on it.
I'm going to give it some time - once interop unlock is available im sure someone will find a way around the at&t lockout - or at the very least we should be able to flash the Brazil rom onto our phones

My Surround didn't even get 7740...
