Sprint phone on Cricket

[fjclaus@gmail.com]

if I was to get an old Sprint phone that I had an unlock code, would I be able to program it myself for Cricket service?

Since jump mobile has free texting, would the texting work on this once Sprint phone?

along with the unlock code you would need a "pst software" to flash the cricket prl to the phone,if not it would always look for sprint towers instead of crickets and yes voice and text msg will work.

what kind of phone is it?

so hw will you find the code and where would you get pst software from

[berry_lthird]

In order to program Sprint phones, you will need what is called the MSL code, or the "Master Subsidy Lock" code. Do a Google search for tools that help you find the MSL code for your Sprint phone.

Once you have the MSL code, you can use PST software to manually load a PRL file. If your phone's ESN number has been registered with Cricket, you will be able to dial just *2 (NOT *228) to do OTASP.

If none of what I'm saying makes sense, start searching Google or HowardForums.com

Good hunting!
