Help with Blackberry 8830 World Edition

[Lyndeep]

I bought a BB 8830 on Ebay that was supposed to have a full flash already on it. I followed the final programming instructions from the seller (you can see them HERE) but I encountered two problems. The first was that my number wasn't put in correctly (I have fixed this). The second was that the first time I called cricket to get my SID they told me 4733, after all the problems I was having I thought I'd call to make sure I had heard and wrote down the right number and the second time I called they told me my SID was 4391. I don't know how I'm supposed to know which one is correct. When I had them activate my phone it wouldn't work. I can't dial *228 because it says not too in the sellers instructions and from what I understand is a big no no with any cricket flashed phone. I don't know what to do. I'm waiting to hear back from the seller but I'd like to know what to do about the SID and maybe some info on flashing. I don't have much knowledge on it but I'm generally a quick learner so long as I can have step by step instructions. Any and all advice would be appreciated, Thanks!

Well I have the phone activated but now I can't find the internet on it and it's supposed to be net capable.

that will bring up your program page
change your sid # there
save and the phone will rewrite. and you can do the *228 with no worries
