If you still need the help here it is. you need a data cable, and crickets PRL file (Which I have if you need it) and some software to upload the PRL to the phone and then dial *228 with the phone and if you get cricket call them up and switch the phone on your account... they now accept any cdma phone just tell them you flashed the phone, trust me I have done this twice already and told them I switched the phone myself they dont care anymore. and if for some reason they give you trouble I know there is some sort of fcc law that any network has to accept the phone as long as it is the same band.
