the old esn can be used right away, but indirect rep's will not be able to use it, only csr's and rsr's have access to it right away.
anyways... i've been having a lot of trouble with OTASP failing on the newer LG's (Venus, voyager, etc..) does 611 connect to cricket/does *228 at least play the cricket message before failing?
did you give cricket dec MEID or dec pESN?
when it "says the phone is not authorized for use" is that a message on the screen or from the network: if it is from the network what is the code given after the message.
make sure you are putting min for min, and mdn for mdn, i got pretty confused on this a couple days back since some phones ask for min first and others ask for mdn first i was banging my head against a wall for an hour over that one last week.
