[Q] How to use a virgin mobile intercept on Verizon Wireless?

---

I am looking at purchasing a Virgin Mobile Samsung Intercept because they are on sale at a local store because we don't have any Sprint towers so I am unable to use the Virgin mobile service. Is there any way I can activate this on Verizon's network? Also is there anything I should know about this phone before I buy it?
Thanks!

It could probably work but you'd still have to buy a verizon phone to use as ur donor phone. It wouldn't be worth it to do cause the intecept isn't really a great phone. Its kinda a stressful process converting phones to other carriers then what they were intended for.

Your needs are met, i've come to solve your problem!

The whole process is long but if you really want to "clone" the device to work on verizon, then you want to get the following software ($100.00+) called CDMA Workshop, this tool will allow you to "clone" fields for use on the VM/Sprint Samsung Intercept.

The previous post is true, I own a lot of phones, and the VM Intercept is a Piece of crap!! I too, have used this software to clone my intercept over to Verizon, but you will want the current most software update for the CDMA Workshop, drop the money, clone a cheap already active prepaid phone from verizon, and copy all iedi numbers, nam1 and nam2, and such. You will then want to call *611 and run through the activation and your phone should work, if you did it right...

You can probably google this info or if not, you can surely read a manual on the CDMA Workshop like most of us have to learn all you need to know to clone a phone from one network to another.

Happy Hunting and good luck!

***** I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HARM YOU MAY CAUSE YOUR PHONE WITH THIS INFO, I GIVE IT TO YOU FREELY FOR PURELY KNOWLEDGE SAKES! BETTER MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP EVERYTHING IN CASE OF ACCIDENTAL BRICKING!!! *****

Second that, the Intercept leaves much to be desired. If you budget yet decent functionality I'd suggest the Optimus V which can also be modified to work on Verizon.

Good luck!
