Transfer 700p from Sprint to Alltel - Treo Forum

SamieBaby1 · 08-13-2007, 02:47 PM

Hi everyone

Quick question...

I currently have a 650 which is continually resetting. Through Sprint's insurance, I'm getting a 700p. Wellll, I really want a 755p. My boyfriend has Alltel and is currently looking for a new phone. Once my 700p arrives, I'm planning on selling it to him and using the money towards a 755p. He's calling Alltel tonight to see if they'll transfer the phone to his account. Are they going to give him a horrible time doing this since the phone is originally from Sprint? If they do, does anyone know how to unlock the phone so he can still use it? I'd REALLY appreciate any feedback you could give me. Thanks

Unlocking only really applies to GSM phone, yours is CDMA. It depends on whether Alltel will register a non-Alltel phone on their network, something carriers really don't like doing

He just got off the phone with a CS rep. from Alltel and said the guy sounded somewhat incompetant. I guess the rep. told him they can't do it because sprint doesn't run on CDMA.. it runs on PCS. "Completely different". Wow- that is news to me. I'm telling him to call back and speak with someone else.
