Has anyone used this phone on the Sprint-PCS network? I inherited the phone and would like to activate it rather than sell it.
I know a company that can do it for you.

I know for sure they can get it to work on Sprint as I am using it right now as we speak.

Hello everyone, as you can see this is my first post on xda-developers.com. The Diamond will also be my very first WM device. I found a great deal on the Diamond ($450 US for the phone without a contract with the upgraded 1350 battery), however it's currently for a carrier outside of the U.S. I currently have Verizon wireless, and I was hoping to be able to use this phone on their network. This phone is the CDMA version by the way.
So my question is: Is it possible to unlock the phone and flash it with a different ROM in order to get it to work on the VZW network?
I apologize if this seems like a silly question or if the info is somewhere else, I looked around a bit but couldn't find the info to answer my question about this particular phone. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope to have an answer soon!
Sorry for the bump, but I need an answer to this quickly and my thread was pushed off the front page. Is it currently possible to take the CDMA version of the Touch Diamond and get it to work on the Verizon network?
It will be possible but I you will have to wait for the Verizon version to launch before you can port another carriers Diamond over to Verizon as you will need a Verizon ROM.
The Verizon one will be crappy though so you will still want a Sprint or other CDMA carrier's version.
You then unlock it and install a Verizon ROM on it and you should be set.
Thank you very much for the reply! So basically I could go ahead and purchase the phone and just use it for a PDA for a little while, and then sign it up with VZW when the VZW ROM gets released?
Ya well, like I told my friend who I'm going to do the same thing for, I would wait until the Verizon one is released just in case something weird happens and you can't port. Then you aren't out the money. Wait until someone else does it first.
Up to you if you wanna take the risk. $450 is a pretty good deal.
That's true, being out $450 doesn't sound like a very good idea to me... I suppose I'll wait until I find out for sure if this is even possible.
Nevermind

I bought a brand new looking htc diamond today and i think i screwed up big time. I am with T-mobile and when i got home i discovered gthat my diamond does not have place for a sim card. It says sprint on top of it, does that mean its not a comatible phone to T-mobile or is there a some sort of workaround? Would i be able to use it somehow on metropcs? Any help would be appreciated, hate tho think i just wasted the money on the phone that i will not abe able to use((
Not familiar with T-Mobile put it does sound like you purchase a CDMA Device which doesn't use the GSM (sim card) technology. There is no way around this other then reselling it and picking up the right device.
Could you post a photograph or a link to the brand of the phone? Is it HTC? Is a Diamond? Sure? It sounds a bit strange...
I never haven't seen a CDMA device so...
Where did you buy it from?
How hard is this?
He bought the Sprint CDMA HTC Diamond. It won't work on T-Mobile, so just resell it and purchase a GSM one.
yes your phone is not gsm
send it back or sell it on
Hello Everyone,
I've done a bit of searching but still can't find out if i'm having an issue or if this is the way it's suppose to work. This is my first experience with an Unlocked phone as well as Android. So here's the story.
I rooted my phone and then used the Unlock Pro to unlock it. I ordered an AT&T Sim card from Ebay, which arrived last week. I put the Sim card in my phone and it boots up, everything seems fine except that it says "No Service". I contacted AT&T and they confirmed that the Sim is active and it should be working.
To make sure that my phone was unlocked. I used the program to lock it again "with the rogers SIM in it" and then put in the AT&T sim and I was asked for an Unlock Code. So I took that to mean that it was properly unlocked. So I unlocked it again, and then put the Sim in but still "No Service".
I tried to put in the APN settings that I found on a site, but not sure if they are correct. and now i'm at a loss. I had purchased this for an upcoming trip to the states, but don't want to put any money on the account if it's not going to work.
I guess my first question is this "Should a new sim work out of the box?" i.e. should I be able to put in and get service even though I would be roaming in Canada?? Or do I have to be in the states first before it will work and allow me to roam in canada?
Any help you guys can provide or explaination on how it "should" work, would be great.
Well....does att provide service in canada? I don't know if rogers is part of att or not. If they don't I would assume the sim would not work because of no att towers?
Thanks for getting back to me. Rogers is not part of AT&T but they use the same GSM Frequency. So anyone travelling up here on AT&T would use the rogers towers (I believe).
That's why I'm thinking I need to be in the states before the SIM will work.
I would call att back and ask them if the case. Makes sense to me, but I'm nobody.
actually Rogers is owned by att. it is AT&T rogers wireless~!
but that does not mean that it should work.
APN settings are for data, you should still be able to make calls...
LOLOL cute
Ya i think I will do that tonight. When I was talking to them last time, the woman didn't really understand why i couldn't connect. but then again i don't think she really understood that I was in canada. LOL
Canada has the internet? Lol

Wow I'm still running with my 9800 Baud modem. Saving up for a 14.4.
Bing bong biiiiiiiing.....ahhhh the soothing sounds of dialup....those were the days.
I just tried the SIM again, seeing if maybe after a week it might just work now but ya no luck. you never know it could happen. LOLOL I'm wondering if I need to get a roaming package added to the Go Phone plan that i'm on before it will work. Gonna call customer support and find out
Since this is my first time with anything like this I'm not really sure about anything LOL
Okay so I just called at&t customer support. Didn't start off so well. First the guy told me that don't offer any service nor can any AT&T customer roam in canada. then he placed me on hold when I asked him to confirm, and he came back saying that AT&T doesn't off roaming in canada on their pay as you go phones. So i guess I can believe that one
Looks like i'll have to put some money on the sim and then hope it works when I go down there, Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions.
Hi, I have an LG Revolution, I repair phones, had some water damage and what not, anyway got it working and now it won't activate with a sim card. I called Verizon and they said it's NOT lost or stolen, but it is active on someone's account.
The guy I got it from said he disconnected it from Verizon and then put on Page Plus and disconnected that also before selling. I suspect it is still active on Page Plus as they give you bollox when you want to disconnect something, have to put the number on some other phone etc. Plus who would be paying the Verizon contract, right? Anyway he is being an idiot, so I don't expect any help from him.
My question is: Can I still sell the phone as BAD ESN? I mean will someone buy this? I am not sure as it's not stolen, just active. Would someone be able to put it on some other network?
Thank you for any help!

U can sell it on ebay or craigslist i see bad esn phones on there all the time .. the only thing is it makes the price drop a huge %
Sent from my VS910 4G
Yeah I know, but my point was does an active phone count as Bad ESN? I know it's usually lost or stolen or insurance claims etc, but active idk. Thanks!

O . That im not 100% on but im pretty sure if u cant activate it due to an account on there that counts as bad esn
Sent from my VS910 4G
yes
ofcourse u can always sella working phone for parts...
another thing is that u can use it with another carrier, like att or other cdma carriers, unfortunately u probly wont be able to use 4g, cause verizon uses the high side of the 700 band and att uses the low side of the 700 heres a link on that...
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2388526,00.asp
also then theres 3g... which will work with any cdma network running the revos 3g bands
u see phones like this or stolen on craigslist and ebay saying bad esn for verizon.... and etc just use them with another company
if so how did you do it? thanks
no one? someone said they got international mclaren on regular verizon by using phone verizon would let on and pull sim and put in X2 but "A" that was the main carrier im reffering to their 2 prepaids visible&yahoo mobile
nobody using theres with Yahoo mobile/Visible wireless? someone said they got a phone that Verizon wont let on, on by using something that Verizon will let on and then they take sim out and put in phone Verizon didnt want to let activate
