boost mobile

[dapzmob]

was wondering, if i had a vx6700..an had one of those new boost mobile unlimited plans(cdma) if i could flash it to work with their service and change the imei or whatever takes place for this(not firmiliar with cdma, use a hermes!), kinda like what a cricket subscribe would do.

you might be able to get it to work the easy way if boost will let you activate the phone on their network by ESN change. then there are a few PST changes you need to make. i got my vzw 6700 working on ampd this way... unlimited data and minutes for 150 a month.

the other way would be to clone your phone that is on boost. change ESN n some other stuff. you have to do your research if you need to go this route.

i dont know if the 6700 is compatible with the boost CDMA network.... someone else will know.

I believe that the Boost network runs off of Nextel's iDen network, so there is no way for the 6700 to run off of Boost's network.

Correct. Boost will NOT! work.
While Boost, Sprint/Nextel, Verizon are CDMA each use thier own radio/SIM that will not allow phones to interchange. This par makes us sick, especially developers.

I've seen people clone imei numbers from both verizon an sprints version of the 6700 to work wit cricket..im sure its gotta be able to be done

[kyxdadeveloper]

That may be true. Nextel's IDen network is a completely different.

im not talkin about the iDen network. boost has a new service out which is exclusivelly cdma..which is unlimited similar to metro an cricket..which is why i as asking

some of you in these post believe that the 6700 cant be used on other networks. it is true that the carrier (e.g. sprint, verizon, ect...) has specific requirements for the radio. AT&t wireless used to be a cdma network and there still is legacy cdma subscribers on their network. as for boost i havent heard of their cdma offerings. but you would need to modify the radio stack to get it to work on their "cdma" network. you can reflash the 6700 for verizon to work with sprint and vice versa. there is subtle differences that makes features work on the network.

This couldn't be further from the Truth. CDMA is a standard just like GSM is. Getting voice and text to work is as simple as updated the PRL, and changing the ESN with your carrier. I can make voice and text work on ANY CDMA phone, with ANY Carrier provided it doesn't use an RUIM, and you carrier will except CPE. You need your MSL, and a Boost PRL. Its that simple. You can use ##PRL# to load the PRL, or use QPST.

You should be able to purchase a boost phone, and download the PRL with QPST, QXDM, or BitPim.

Getting Data and MMS to work is another story, data will work if you know the correct parameters, the Proxy, username/password, and I.P. settings. Which once again can all be changed on the phone without QPST. The 6700 has full PST built in, no external programs are needed for PST changes, unless you don't have your MSL.

Really? Where was that?

They have been TDMA as long as I can remember. Thus the transition from TDMA to GSM (which is basically TDMA v2).
