How do you determine if someone has cdma boost or the other one and if they do have cdma where can i get step by step instructions on how to program the phone? I am trying to switch my family from sprint to boost in hopes of saveing over $150 per month in phone bills . We all have sprint phones(mogul, blackberry, touch pro) I am new to all this so please remember that when helping me out. Thanks again... Oh one more question I also have a mogul flashed to metro pcs with windows 6 I would like to upgrade to something with built in touch flo and or scrolling and stacked text messgs, slide to unlock and or slide to answer. ook thanks again
well you got your work cut out for you as SPRINT will NOT PORT YOUR NUMBER DIRECTLY IN as they are trading you to there same service cheaper price so when you go to port your number in they will tell you it is not eligible to port in but i have a fix for everything (at LEAST for situation) now there is the easy way and there is the hard way 1(the hard way) is to port out to another company and when your number shows up as there's then port back in and Bada Bing Bada Bang you got your number/numbers (but remember this could take up to 10 days as sprint will not get off there KEISTER to RELEASE YOUR NUMBER (also depending on your number there is a 50% chance you can loose or at least thats what they like to tell me) ok the 2nd way is to go buy the WALKIE TALKIE iden service (get the cheapest ones i425=$29.00) DO NOT PUT THEM ON THE $50 unlimited plan JUST PUT A TEN DOLLAR CARD ON THEM AND USE FOR 2/3 DAYS AND THEN CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE and tell them your family does not like the service and ask them to migrate you over from IDEN(pre-paid nextel) to CDMA(pre-paid SPRINT)but this is costly although in the end you'll be paying 600 a year plus tax versus what your paying now also you can keep your TP and your mogul but the blackberry will have to go as only the talk and text will work the internet WILL NOT WORK as it runs on a different system
PS the 3rd and easiest way(sorry i forgot to mention) WOULD BE TO JUST SCRAP YOUR OLD NUMBERS and take the NEW NUMBERS and just let all your friends and family your number changed update your contacts your good!
BUT JUST A WORD FROM THE WISE YOU MUST LIVE IN ONE OF THE 13 STATES THAT BOOST SELLS THE BOOST CDMA SERVICE if not i can help you!
