[Q] Is it possible to remove carrier info?

---

I've got a used Shift that I'd like to use as a computer only. I've already rooted and flashed on CM7 to try it out.

It was a Sprint phone, and it still connects to the Sprint network. What I want to do is remove the number that was previously programmed. I'd love to get it completely off the mobile network (including cell service), but Sprint technical support has told me that it will still connect for things like 911. But, I'd like to get the number out all the same.

Is this possible?

Here try reading this see if will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1144211

Not directly helpful, but it pointed me in the right direction. Thanks!

i kinda wanted to do the same thing but just change the banner info. when i do what is described on the other page it never changes on my phone. did the reset and everything...cant figure this out. i have a shift and a hero that im trying to do this on and both almost seem like they dont want to write to the phone. they say they do though.

What Rom are you running?

For the cyanogenmod 7.1 stable you can try THIS. For the HERO you can try HERE. But I'm not a sure if it will work or not.

Hey Buddy, I guess you can go on QPST and get rid of the SPRINT data, you need your MSL so get MSL reader from the Market Not sure if it will work but you should go on QPST and delete all the sprint info. Be Careful YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE
