Hi all.
A friend of mine gave me his old Sprint A900 Samsung cellophone for my kid. My kid wants to use Cricket since I won't pay for his phone (he is 18). He gave me the code for the phone, he used CMDA Workshiop to do a factory restore and give me the MSL code.
I followed the instructions from here: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1367857
I did not do Step 1 since I did not have UniCDMA.
In Step 2 I then wrote the SPC code of 6 zeros to the phone and it said Phone Unlocked.
In Step 3 I then wrote the 1041 PRL code to the phone. I did not write the code to NAV2, I was not sure if the phone needed that to be done (is that part of the problem that I'm having?)
Step 4 is the confusing one. I didn't do anything from Step 4 because it didn't make sense to me.
In the end, my son brought the phone to Cricket and they turned it on and he gets voice no problem (incoming and outgoing) and he can RECEIVE text messages but he cannot SEND text messages.
When he tries to send them, they just sit in the outbox saying something about "cannot connect to network, will try again later".
This is on a brand new Cricket account, not an existing one if that matters.
Any help? The kid wants to text more than anything else.
