Cricket / Boost Mobile on hybrid

Requires an active boost mobile sim card in the phone, with the CDMA side of the phone flashed to cricket.

I would actually love to pick up a ic602 and do it myself.
 
Would have been cool 5 years ago! That's when chirping really started to hit the young crowd, you would have made mega bucks then.

Now, you can just buy any nextel or boost phone and activate on Boost's unlimited plan. Wouldn't make since to activate one on cricket, and still pay boost to chirp.
 
um, no.

the unlimted plan is CDMA based, voice/data only. no iden integration.

and you couldnt use a hybrid on the unlimited plan, the esn would be blocked.
 
Um, no.

You miss understood. I didn't say anything about using a hybrid on the unlimited plan. I said ^

Nextel or Boost phone, not Srint Nextel phone i.e. the new hybriRAB.
 
no, you're still wrong, and apparently cant comprehend where i corrected you.

you cannot activate any nextel or boost phone on the unlimited plan boost offers. its cdma based, and running off of sprint's cdma network.
 
good. what he's trying to say is this:

Boost Unlimited will not accept the ESN from a hybrid phone.
Boost Unlimited is CDMA ONLY platform and does not have any version of PTT

Hypothetically:
Regular boost would work on the iden portion of the hybrid phone if you A) unlock the phone and B) put a boost sim in.
The CDMA side of the phone loaded up with a cricket PRL would enable the phone to function with cricket for calling/text.

This has little to do with wanting to actually be on Boost though... and becomes very useful if you know a lot of people on nextel, want to Direct Connect with them and don't want to pay outrageous prices for a nextel plan, or don't want to carry a cricket phone AND a boost/nextel for Direct connect.
 
no, what i'm trying to say is, the idiot said you could activate any boost or nextel phone on the unlimited



Isnt READING taught in schools anymore?

It has nothing to do with hybriRAB, cricket, PTT OR THIS THREAD.

I was pointing out that what he specifically said was WRONG. Boost unlimited DOES NOT USE IDEN, THEREFORE YOU CANNOT JUST BUY ANY NEXTEL OR BOOST PHONE AND USE THE UNLIMITED PLAN.
