Boost Unlimited On HTC Touch by sprint

[loco41]

ok I got a boost unlimited phone can I put the esn and other stuff I need on the Touch and used the touch on boost unlimited ? please I really have search and search but no luck any help will be great .Both phones are CDMA.

[LB ROLLER]

not sure how boost does there phones anymore but from what i can remember boost uses sim chips right? how would you transfer the info from the chip on to the vogue?

dont even bother anyways boost is getting ready to get terminated.... SAY BYE BYE TO BOOST... and METRO PCS here in so cal.....;)

[SciFer]

Not possible, boost uses same system as nextel and they iden-GSM

[bomb_one]

have fun paying extra for standard features with metro _ its all equal in the end game. except sprint has more coverage and a faster data network... as for a touch with UbB - I wouldn't recommend it. you will never get your esn on the account... unless ur an expert social engineer ;-) I work for the company I know.

boost mobile does use nextel, but its only iDen. neither nextel or boost uses GSM

While boost Mobile does use Nextel's iden system, the boost "unlimited" service actually uses sprint's CDMA network.

you are correct.


did you ever get your phone activated on boost?

[remygreen]

yes its activated now. I can do video or what ever and its not the chip im suing the CDMA network. they have CDMA down south I have instructions. I've dont it 5 times for friends. I have picture mail, Tethering 3g EDGE, Great coverage unlimited for 50 dollars, EVERYTHING,

Its this simple here my simple 123 list

1 bought 60 dollars worth of minutes. you need 65 cause of activation fee. I got him to waive the fee.

2.get it activated BOOST CDMA ONLY, I USED MOTO c290 for BOOST. use it for a few hours. Use one of the the 13 states that have the service, if yours is not avail on the list dont try it, wont work. I USED FLORIDA NC,TX,CA work

3 call back with other phone get DEC using the back label or ##786# (new Phone)

4 They will give you your MSL code something like ##343456# change number and msid. it should reboot.

5 go to ##3282# and reset your network settings, if the net doesn't work, soft reboot twice. and boom. you got it working


This works on all SPRINT PHONES. Enjoy

its not possible. seeing that boost is iDen.

[remygreen]

It is Possible THEY HAVE A CDMA NETWORK. And Uses Sprints CDMA on boost accounts. And they share ESN's for the CDMA service. I have one activated as I type.

Hi, I have a Nextel 8350i using Boost. Here is what I had working on it: Native Blackberry Browser, Operamini, Blackberry Maps, Nimbuzz, Gmail, BB MMS, etc. The other day I was trying a new application called Turn Radio On. It did not seem like it was working so I deleted it even though the message said it was in use and did I still want to delete it. I deleted it. Also, I was trying to change my signal bar back from numbers to bars and may have hit the wrong keys before I hit Alt, NUMLL. Well, because of my carelessness, I cannot get on the internet, I cannot receive or send calls, mms, gmail, etc. Under Options, Advanced, Mobile Network it says Data Services On, Mobile Network 100316. Also under Advanced, in Host Routing Table it says No Entries. I am using Desktop Manager 4.7, Nextel 8350i, Boost service, and until last night everything was working fine. Except for I could never get Shangmail to work. I made a very dumb mistake! I was wondering what to do next? Should I delete my service books and then reinstall them? I tried taking the battery out numerous times and even used quick pull a few times but all i get is the Wi-Fi signal logo. I hope to get this phone back to normal with the understanding that it is a tool to communicate with not a toy. If anyone can help thanks!

I can second this. Was able to do it with a Sprint Touch Pro 2.

FYI - You guys are both right...The "$50 Unlimited" plans use the CDMA Sprint network with Boost, and the rest of the plans still use iDen technology

[jlowe21]

I have another method that i used for my tp2 on boost...

1. Get a cdma boost phone(i used w385)

2. Activate boost cdma if your within those 13 states.

3.Go to sprint.com and register.

4.Logout and re-register with same number(Disregard all error messages)

5.Log-in using second username u registered with and scroll down to bottom and click activate a new phone.

6. Enter esn for your touch pro 2 and wait til it activates.(Your not done)

7. On your touch pro 2 go to Settings>All settings>System>Update Profile

YOUR ALL SET!!! Phone,Txt,Pics,3gnet, but Sprint Tv worked once and hasn't since then.

The best source of info on this subject seems to be at HoFo...they have a forum specifically for Boost CDMA. Also a good "must read" FAQ, which tells which Sprint phones are compatible, how to use sprint.com account to swap to Sprint phone, etc...

Also now you can activate a Boost CDMA phone anywhere in the US...not just restricted areas any more.

i have the sprint htc touch pro and i using the boost mobile $50 unlimited plan. everything works fine the calls, text, web. you can get someone to flash it for you on ebay for around 50-60 dollars. hope this helps

Boost now has the Samsung Galaxy Prevail running Android. Boost uses Sprint's CDMA network and data speeds are 3G all for $50 per month guys. As for IDEN: They still have some IDEN phones that work on NexTel's old network if you want the Push to Talk feature
