What had been stressed to me by a supervisor prior to getting it done was that since I had specifically told them it was not a boost phone they were not allowed to do it. It's a Sprint A900 I had had from years ago and it works great. I told her that was fine and she directed me through the flashing process. she asked for the phone info from behind the battery and when I gave it she identified it as a sprint phone and told me they wouldn't be able to guarantee it's proper function or provide technical support for it. so armed with that info I called again and told the operator that I wanted to activate a different phone. What I found out is that if you TELL them what you are trying to do.they can't. You must verify with Boost that the flashed phone you have can be activated on their system. Boost will allow for CDMA flashed phones, you just need to make sure its flashed correctly otherwise you will only get calls or text and nothing else will work. This is the network Verizon operates on and is why Sprint and Verizon are the best coverage carriers over AT&T's GSM or Sprints iDen networks. CDMA is better because it covers more areas due to it being the oldest network.
Close to 5 months after this happening, Sprint/Boost got enough heat from clients that they decided to at least sale 1 CDMA phone the W385.
Even though they were servicing the CDMA side, if a phone would break, they would try and switch you to the new phones on the iDen network because they did not offer any more of the CDMA phones. About a year or so later, Sprint put Nextel up for sale and after it did not get the bids they wanted, Sprint decided to move the Nextel or iDen network over to Boost and cancel out the CDMA phone side but still servicing, dropping all phones thus making the new plans "Boost Monthly Unlimited". Boost initially started their unlimited program with 4 phones and called it "Unlimited by Boost". Boost uses an iDen network while sprint uses CDMA networks, the two are not compatable or interchangeable, if your looking to go unlimited metro or cricket flashing will work for your phone since they are unlimited CDMA networks - not sure if i can let you know how to get it done here without breaking the rules but has an informative page on flashing.Īctually, let me explain why this statement is not 100% correct.
