Question:

isit possible 2 get a verizon phone and have it cricket-tized so its like a virgin mobile plan/phone?

i seen a verizon phone that i had b4 just with virgin mobile. its the same exact phone just with a verizon plan so i was wondering if i could take it to a cricket phone store and have them convert it like they do with virgin mobile phones. is this possible???????

Answer:

hi, when you're in Australia, you may want to attempt this. it really is authorized below a coverage the position customers have the alternative of selecting the operators with out replacing telephone numbers. Please get in contact with the broking service or call the decision center to verify.
nope you cnt do tis. verizon wireless dont have a chip so u cant transfor fones
yes it is, i've done it before. it would be impossible to do that with a t-mobile phone or att since they use SIM cards, but virgin mobile, sprint, verizon, and cricket all run on CDMA. but cricket won't be able to flash it for you, some cricket stores do but non that i've been too, you'll have to look up online for stores in your location that will flash it for you. let me explain what flashing is. flashing is basically re-wiring your phones hardware to work with another service provider. there are two kinds of flashing, full flash and partial flash. FULL FLASH: this means that when your phone is fully flashed to work on crickets network, talk, text, pix, web etc will all work. PARTIAL FLASH: this means that ONLY talk and text will work some phones can be both fully and partially flashed, some phones can only be partially flashed and not fully flashed, and some phones cannot be flashed at all. it all depends on the phone, and the store you take it to. just write down the phones model and company (LG, motorola, etc) and call the store you want to go to and ask them if they can flash it. if you want it fully flashed, make sure you clearly specify that you want it FULLY flashed. fully flashing a phone will be more expensive that partially flashing. full flashes can typically go anywhere from $40 to $70 dollars. this all depends on the phone, and who you go to, to get it flashed. there are people on craigslist sometimes who can flash phones, but i would choose a business over a random dude on craigslist anyday so yes it is possible, depending on the phone
