Nope, they have different versions of the radios (cdma v. gsm) ... just get a sprint branded Touch...
also, my girl might be interested in your Verizon pro. email me at [email protected] or 213-925-5351 so we can talk...
ummm... Yea, sprint and Verizon are both CDMA. Im currently using a Sprint radio on my verizon touch Pro. as to activating the verizon n a sprint network, I dont think it works that way.
then my bad.. so your using ur sprint branded touch on the verizon network?
Sprint and Verizon Touch Pros should both work on either network. They are both CDMA. Sprint operates on 850 and 1900mhz, Verizon runs on 800 and 1900mhz, but both carriers use these frequencies. It should be a matter of flashing your phone with a kitchen or rom and making sure that you have the appropriate carrier specific info.
With that said, since the verizon TP has about 100 megs of RAM less than the sprint TP, I would wager that you would like the Sprint TP better and have less fuss if you could sell of the Verizon TP. I don't know for sure if Sprint will let you activate a VZ phone on their network although it should work fine.
P.S. Usually the trend is to try to get a Sprint TP on running on Verizon as the Sprint hardware is nicer.
Done Rambling.
I dont know that Sprint will add the verizon TP's esn to their system. Unless there is a workaround that i dont know about.
Ill take the touch pro. I have verizon and want to upgrade to a touch pro. email me at [email protected]
i sell you a sprint tp
i can sell you a sprint tp give me 250 everything is on the box is unlock already with mighty rom 4.14 i can send you the phone activated if you have and account email me jmmp(at)ultraxtreme(dot)com
unless you really know what your doing, and don't mind really bending the law, i would say that it isn't worth it to get a Verizon TP to work on Sprint. also like said above, the Sprint TP has better hardware
Cross Carrier Activation Is Not Possible... Don't Believe The Rumors!!!
Simply put, Neither Verizon or Sprint will activate the other carrier's phones on their network. The esn numbers are not in the opposite carrier's database and neither carrier will add an esn from a device that is not branded as their own. Period end of discussion. Yes both Sprint and Verizon's phones are compatible on one anothers network, but that's not the issue. The issue is getting the carrier to activate a device from the other carrier which the WILL NOT DO.
People activate sprint touch pros on verizon all the time without a problem. heres a writeup on how to do it for verizon http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/htc-touch-pro/120970-sprint-touch-pro-verizon.html
I just bought a sprint one and I have verizon. It's not hard to use it on the other network
Word on the street is that VZW caught on to this and is no longer allowing these MEID/ESN's on their network.

that was true a month ago, it is not true today.
Verizon eliminated the *228 option 3 setup that was allowing the sprint phone to be activated on VZ. If you try it now, you get an error saying to call VZ TS & if you do call they refuse the activation.
I have a Sprint TP on VZ myself but I hope it never breaks.........
~John
any workaround for this? I get my Sprint touch pro tomorrow
Sprint Touch Pro
If anyone interested in my Sprint TP email me at [email protected] and I'll cut you a sweet deal. I love it but I am with Verizon and have moved on to the BB Storm...its cool but the TP does more..

Why would you buy an alltel phone off ebay if you want to use Sprint's network?
i bought the alltel version because i saved 400 bucks doing that, also the same phone is available for both providers so technically there shouldnt be any problems using one or the other right? i am stuck with sprint so must use them for now
Yes there is one big problem. You can't use an Alltel ESN on the Sprint network unless you somehow manage to get Sprint to add it to their database.
so i am stuck with a phone for alltel that i will not get to use with sprint, ever?
Pretty much...unless you can SOMEHOW convince a dumbass sprint rep to add it for you (pretty much never happens)...or you clone a Sprint ESN which is illegal.
Sprint to Alltel
I flashed a Sprint Touch(6900) with the official Alltel rom and Alltel added with no problems and everything on the phone worked great. I would think you can just flash a sprint carrier rom, now whether Sprint will add an Alltel ESN on your account I do not know....
haha
alltell doesnt care as long as its a phone that they sell ... sprint cares... now for the ESN thing as long as its not a ESN in use by a other phone in therory it isnt cloning its just barrowing... say my old phone broke and i used its ESN this is all theory though good luck
seems i got sprint to add the phone i flashed from alltel to sprint, yea. NOW i would like to supercid it any ideas?
could someone please help me on this. i know it can be done i just dont know how.
thanks in advance.
Technically speaking, you should be able to go into any sprint store and purchase a boost starter kit. This only includes the SIM card. This is kinda a hit or miss situation because we are not allowed to open or manipulate any boost accounts at the store. Once you activate the SIM card, you should be able to connect it into any GSM/IDEN phone and use it as a boost phone. I know we've had several of our NEXTEL phones used on boost. Just understand that it obviously would not have the direct connect radio.
i dont think that i can use a iden sim in a gsm phone. nextel phones are iden. anybody else have any info on activating an alltel phone on boost?
To the best of my knowledge CDMA handsets can't be unlocked from a carrier the way an iDen or GSM handset can. In fact the carrier can tell weather or not an ESN is from their handset. I know Sprint cannot activate my dad's Alltel RAZR V3m despite the fact that Sprint offered the exact same handset.
The only way you're going to get a Touch Pro on an unlimited plan is to sell your Alltel Touch Pro and buy a Sprint one. Sprint will not activate a boost phone on sprint and vice versa.
now i am trying to get this same phone activated on cricket. had anybody done this before?

go to howardforums.com then look up boost CDMA. u will find tons of info on how to put sprint phones on boost mobile. im typing on a sprint touch pro right now which is on a boost account!
I posted in the xda unlocking forum also but thought maybe this is a better place.
My friend is still with alltel and needs a new phone so I am wondering if my xtra Eris would somehow work for her?
Thanks in advance!

Will it work? Absolutely Yes! Verizon has been roaming with Alltel in the areas where they do not overlap for years.
The question is will Alltel activate it. Depends on where they are with integration/replacement of the Alltel activation system(s). Carriers check ESN ranges so that only phones they sell/allow distributors to sell get on their network.
So, if your friend is in an Alltel area that is going to end up as part of Verizon Wireless I would definitely try to get the Eris activated.
My understanding is that Verizon has completed the Alltel conversion. The only Alltels that are around are now owned by AT&T, who is in the middle of converting that user base and i expect they will push Alltel customers to upgrade to AT&T Phones, Plans and services.
When Verizon was converting Alltel any Alltel customers that wanted to activate a Verizon phone HAD to switch to Verizon Plans & Services. They couldn't keep their Alltel plans & services with Verizon phones.
These remaining Alltels owned by AT&T will NOT activate a Verizon phone. That much i can tell you for sure. Your best best if your friend wants to use an Android Phone on Alltel is to buy one outright from Alltel or search eBay. If he wants to use the Droid Eris and is willing to dump Alltel i believe there are guides here in the Eris forums to make the phone work on MetroPCS or Cricket (which requires special flashing).
Good luck!
My family is still on a Alltel family plan (4 of us) and a year and a half ago I was able to stay on that plan and get a Droid Eris as long as we bought the data plan

Sorry to burst you on this one but you are incorrect. I have had a storm 2 and now an Eris on a Verizon contract but keeping my Alltel plan pricing.
I have a LG Rhythm I gave my granddaughter but when I changed over to a verizon plan from alltel I had to get verizon phones so the Rhythm was turned off. She really liked playing with that phone. Can it be activated on verizon by doing #228 or is there another way or can't do it at all?
You are caught in limbo.
In order to activate the Rhythm you are going to have to move it to a plan that can be activated through the Alltel activation system(s). The Rhythm is recognized by the Alltel activation system(s), but is NOT recognized by the Verizon activation system(s).
I would imagine that Verizon will only allow Alltel-only phones on its network through the contract period of the phones (2 years?). Get ready for all Alltel-only phones to not be allowed by Verizon.
Actually there are three areas that are still Alltel that are still waiting to be converted to Verizon. Nebraska, Michigan, and Minnesota. These areas are where Verizon sold their market to AT&T and kept the Alltel customers and towers. Once the old Verizon customers and towers have been completely converted to AT&T in these areas, then Verizon can begin the process to convert those Alltel markets into the "new" Verizon.
I've been a loyal HTC user for a very long time (12 years). Well I bit the Samsung bullet and went to the S7 edge. But it's locked up pretty good. So I took it back yesterday.
Now I'm wanting to try the V10. But I'm on Sprint. And Verizon is the best choice to use. Can anyone dummy this down for me?
I understand the Verizon version is SIM unlocked. So it seems like I can drop in a Sprint SIM card. Change the APN settings and I should be good, right?
Verizon and Sprint both use CDMA+GSM(for Data), but as far as I know you won't be able to activate Verizon's phone on Sprint network. Both company has their CDMA inventory table and if the ESN is not registered in their inventory table, it won't activate for you.
Looked into Sprints Community Forum to see if they will support this device and it looks like they will not. I am getting this phone and it looks like I'll be leaving Spint.
Here is the thread to the forum. https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/1052157#1052157 Wanted to share in case anyone else is getting it in hopes that Sprint would support it.
Sprint generally tries to avoid factory unlocked phones so their bloatware stays in place.
Yep, Sprint has strict control over what is allowed access to their network. While the A7 has all the bands for Sprint usage, ZTE has said that they're working with Sprint (and Verizon) to get it approved for their networks.
I wouldn't bother too much with what Sprint_Jeffrey & co. said, they are probably in a similar position to the people within ZTE who claimed just days before the boot-loader unlock announcement that they would not be allowing unlocking of the boot-loader. Until an announcement is made by the Sprint people responsible for such things reps like Sprint_Jeffrey & co. are as much in the dark as the rest of us.
What I've heard about this phone and other unlocked phones with Verizon and Sprint support built into the hardware is.
From official channels you will get no support for the device and you can't go to the store and activate the phone.
But most of the time if you take an existing sim from your current phone and pop it in the new unlocked phone it will work just fine. It's worth a shot before leaving sprint if you like the existing service you have.
Unless you were already planning to leave for the greener pasture of GSM service, so many more device options available which is why i only consider GSM carriers myself.
Don' t know about Sprint but swapping in an active SIM from Verizon does NOT work. Been trying for three weeks. I am going to AT&T.

So you are disagreeing with the, probably, 50 posts I've seen with Verizon working on the Axon 7? I'm getting mine delivered today and will be trying it out tonight. I'm expecting it to work.
Eh, you won't miss Sprint. You could probably go with a cheaper service like Cricket and have better coverage, anyway. Verizon is the only CDMA carrier worth using, but you pay out the bum for the pleasure.

I tried again with Verizon and it is a no go. I hope those of you who are stuck with Verizon can get things worked out. I suppose Verizon will start to play nice in due time. I, however, have moved on to AT&T pre-paid. Took about 10 minutes for them to get my Axon 7 working properly. There were other ZTE devices in the store also. At least one other cell phone and a couple of other items. So they are already familiar with ZTE and had no trouble getting things setup correctly. Bye-Bye Verizon!

Did you make sure to use the SIM1 slot instead of the SIM2/microSD slot? Only SIM1 is CDMA enabled.
I don't know why Sprint and Verizon are dicking around. Moto G4 and Google Nexus phones can run on their networks why not ZTE Avon?

I have RingPlus with a "free" ($15 initial top-up) 1400 plan. And it's great that you have 5 nice plans, but let's be honest, R+ isn't the same as it was last year. Plans like that don't come up much (if ever) anymore and when they do, the hoops make it a real PITA. I'll be surprised if R+ is even around in another year.
And in any case, it's still Sprint and Sprint's network is literally the worst you can use. It's great if you never travel and don't need service outside of cities, but "free" is the only case in which I would use their network. I use R+ with my Moto E as a streaming music player when I'm on the beach or out mowing or doing something else where the phone might get trashed.

Yes, all attempts were in SIM slot number 1 only. Constant roaming. On AT&T now and all is working great for less money. No brainer if you can do it.

Er, constant roaming is normal... it's one of the many bugs that the A7 has on Verizon right now. Just had to check "data when roaming" and you would have been good to go.

Sprint locks their RUIM/SIM cards to the MEID of the device. Verizon does not engage in this 'anti-consumer' practice.
So can I just put a Sprint Note 4 sim in the Axon 7 and it will work?
I switched from sprint to cricket when I bought the axon 7. Got a good deal for signing up for auto pay and the signal has been wayyy better (in Pittsburgh). I drive all around town for work and only ran into one (almost) dead spot.

No this almost surely won't work. Though it's hard to be 100% sure as Sprint is so finicky with their different SIM card types...my Sprint phone is an iPhone 6S so perhaps the SIM isn't as friendly to Android phones (which is ridiculous but Sprint really does differentiate Android vs. iOS SIMs, which I found out the hard way)...
But I tried anyway with my FreedomPop Sprint SIM...below are some pictures of what happened. The Axon 7 showed a signal and a 4G/LTE icon, but the internet connection didn't work (it just shows a constant upload indication) and there was no 1X signal either when I checked LTE Discovery. So it seems that Sprint is effectively blocking the Axon 7 (as it would any non-Sprint MEID'd phone I believe) from making a data connection or making calls/texts.
It's a shame...Verizon doesn't do this...my Verizon SIM works great in the Axon 7...this is purely a Sprint limitation it seems, which is funny as they're the most desperate of the four major carriers and yet make it nearly impossible to do business with them even though we have a perfectly viable Sprint phone in the Axon 7.
Sprint binds the imei, icc id and phone number to the account. Everything has to match or you get no service.
Sprint is dead, move to a different carrier.
