Well I do believe vzw now owns alltel, so you should be able to switch to vzw Scot free. Which would give you the choice of vzw phones. Though feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Alltel was purchased by Verizon two year ago so you will need to migrate to a verizon plan and you will be able to get the razr fine.
Thank you for the help, I'll ask alltel about changing my plan to get the motorola razr ! thanks again

You won't be able to talk to Alltel they don't exist any longer they have been fully absorbed by vzw
I have the Alltell SP1200 plan, but am a Verizon customer. When you call your provider, do you get a Verizon rep? Or are you in one of the few areas where Alltell is still holding out?
Also, you may have a problem keeping your unlimited data plan if you still have an Alltell phone. Something about the plan codes. If you didn't get a verizon phone when they bought Alltell, you may have a problem now transferring your data plan over. Let me know how it works out.
right now, I have a droid razr maxx. When Verizon bought Alltell, my area got sucked up in the change and I immediately went out and got a Verizon phone. Now I got unlimited 4g data for $20 a month. It is possible.
Honestly alltel does survive in rural areas. Theres quite a few still around, not much though. Yes Verizon absorbed alltel in heavy incorporated cities but couldn't touch the rural areas, per FCC laws.

i live in NC, alltel is still popular around here. You were right tho. i called alltel and it send me to verizon serrvice. I decided to go and ask, they told me alltel was not getting the razr and i could not get a verizon phone and install it on alltel!:/ so i guess i'll just wait till my contract is over and switched to verizon
Don't give up yet!!!!!!!
Since you got a verizon rep, that means your area (and you) fall under verizon. Create yourself an on line account and see if you can upgrade that way. That is the real tale.
I happened to me when I tried to go from a verizon 3G to a 4G phone. Customer service gave me one answer (that was wrong) but when I went on line, I was able to get it done.
Customer service reps typically are minimum wage and get bonuses for people that sign up for new plans. I don't know if it's accidental or on purpose, but you can't believe everything they tell you.
okay, I'll check it out and see if i can do anything! thanks for the help!

Brand-new to the whole XDA forums--although I have been a lurker for quite some time now. Lots of cool stuff coming out of here.
But back to my question: Verizon wants to charge me $700 bucks for this phone because I bought one of their phones on special when mine broke. Stupid me, I know. However, there are plenty of other phones from other carriers that are on sale on FeeBay and Craigslist. I called up Verizon and asked them if I had a phone would they activate it--which they promptly said no to. I expected nothing less.
So I asked them if they could reflash my phone to their firmware--which they also said no to. When asked, they said it was because they coulden't replace the phone in the event that they broke it. WTF? Not that the phone wasn't capable of being used on their network, only that I wouldn't be able to use it because they couldn't reflash my phone for fear of breaking it.
So my question is this: Can I flash it to VZW's firmware and they won't know it is an Alltel/Sprint/Whatever phone?
The only way it would be possible is to get Verizon to add the ESN to their database. Good luck with that.
Why don't you just buy an xv6800 on ebay or craigslist? They will activate one of their own phones perfectly fine, just not from another carrier.
You can say what you want about Cricket, but damn they except phones with bad ESNs!
You guys realize Verizon just bought Alltel for 28 billion right? Should be working soon.

Yup they just bought them out, but the process will take months. It might be until the end of this year.
I just left verizon and went to alltel not to long ago and now the bought them. I knew I was a good customer but to follow me around like this is a bit ridiculous.
mr.ellsworth
Verizon just bought Alltel. The Alltel ESN's are not in Verizon's database, nor will they be for quite some time. Since the buyout, you can TRY to call Verizon and talk the customer service rep into adding your Alltel ESN to their database by saying you were with Alltel and now Verizon owns Alltel anyway...good luck.
First, thank you all for the responses. It really is appreciated.
I would buy a VZW phone, but I was just trying to see if it was possible. Seeing as how there are a ton more Alltel/Sprint/Whatever phones than VZW phones.
I just got off the phone with them again (I love calling them up over and over again--their answers always change!) and they said that if the phone had the correct firmware on it, and the phone was unlocked by the carrier (uh, isn't that you now guys?) then it would be possible.
So who bloody knows. I'm going to go back to seeing why our internet here at work is waffling more then Hillary.
I ordered a phone off of FeeBay and it's coming in the mail. So that's done and taken care of, at least. Thanks once again for all your help. I am sure I will be back to ask more questions later when I get to flashing it.

Geeee I wonder why the super duper cripple Verizon touch pros are not selling...
Retarded Verizon... I recently broke my unlocked sprint touch pro on vzw... now i'm screwed and cant get another one on Verizon service... Back to the outdated xv6800 for me
I'm starting to hate verizon...
anyone know of a work around? I just bought a sprint tp to activate on my verizon plan.
yeah, call them and have them add your MEID to their database and wait. Then switch carriers when they balk at the idea
Actually guys, I just spoke with VZW customer service today and they put me on hold to talk to tech support and they told me there was no problem activating the Sprint Touch Pro on their network. They advised me to unlock the phone, then take it into Verizon Wireless service center and they could flash verizon's ROM to it and change the MEID to work in their system.
Did you have any luck at VZW? If this is what they do, couldn't we just flash a vzw ROM on our own and go in? I just cant see the tech's at vzw actually do this.
Well, of course VZW has ****ed yet another long standing customer. I called and was told what I stated in my earlier post. So I went off and bought a sprint touch on craigslist. Well I unlock it and take it in, then of course, NO we cannot do anthing like that. Called tech support twice and was given 2 more different contradicting stories. Well now I am completely livid after being lied to several times, spending the cash on a phone I am being told I can now not activate on vzw, and no way to be compinsated for my money spent.
Spoke with a supervisor on my 4th call to VZW explaining to her that I understood they can add the MEIDs, but "aren't allowed", so now I am just seeking some type of compensation for my wasted time and cash on the sprint Touch Pro purchase. After all said and done, I get offered an extra $50 credit on a new phone if I choose to sign up for my new every two agreement on the 21st of this month!
I guess I'll bite the bullet and get the damn crippled ass VZW version touch pro, but going to see if they can give me a $100 extra credit instead. We'll see.
And before any VZW touch pro owners flame me, I know the RAM doesn't make that much increase in performance between VZW and Sprint's TP. I just like the sprint versions look more and of course HATE the gay ass offset "M" key keyboard. (Worst design that could have been easily fixed)

Amen! I've got a Sprint TP (VZW Enabled) right in front of me. When I say VZW Enabled, I mean that if I dial *611, I get VZW. There is nothing between this phone and VZW service but them administratively allowing it. Tommorow I'm going to try an experiment someone else suggested. I will setup the phone for Alltel, activate there (no contract required unlike VZW since I have the phone), then once it's working, walk into a VZW store and tell them I'd like to port my service (and phone) over to them (this should give them incentive right?). Then I can just cancel service with Alltel (no penalty) and be done with it. here's hoping.
All you nay-sayers can keep your pie-holes filled. Nobody wants to here "can't" or "won't"
I don't think that will work. The problem is getting the Meid on verizons DMD. It's possible it could work but it seems a lot more work/trouble. It would be easier for you to sell your sprint TP for an alltel TP and just activate that. Please let me know if it'll work as I'm trying to activate my sprint TP too.

Great. Just flashed to 21725 yesterday and I'm still going strong. Once I switched service back to my Vogue and had trouble getting data back on my TP. Trick I found is to activate service on another phone (Vogue in my case), get everything working propertly, then use QPST to copy your keys. Activate the TP again and copy the keys in place. I think this is needed because SOME aspect of my Sprint TP hasn't been updated so OTA can't push the new keys down to the phone.
Ok this might sound wierd, but I work for AT&T and have a Galaxy S II, and get my cell service for free.
But I am obsessed with the Droid Razr. I dunno what it is about that phone, but I really want it! But I am having trouble justifying to myself having to pay for Verizon service every month when I get my current AT&T service for free.
I was also looking at maybe getting an imported xt910, but what worries me is there wouldn't be any warranty in the USA if ya needed it. Plus the Verizon Razr is LTE and I live in an LTE area.
So I know this is a weird thread, but just curious to see if you guys thinks it's too crazy of a thing to do just for a phone? I stopped at Best Buy today again to play with the Razr, and spent about 30 minutes with it. There isn't a whole heck of a lot of difference between that and my GS2, but I am still drawn to the Razr.
I must be crazy.
You should stop drinking. Its making you crazy.
Joe
If you really like it that much, then just pick up the GSM xt910 version. Simple.
There will always be new phones coming... I wouldn't upset the apple cart too much just because of one particular device. I say stick with your free service which we all wish we had and find yourself a GSM RAZR as suggested above. LTE isn't worth making any huge jumps for...yet.
AT&T LTE is great too. Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket has a good dev community and is LTE =D Only problem being you need to be in one of...4 or 5 AT&T LTE zones.

You must have been on shrooms while typing this.
Do what I did, buy a Motor Razr (Rogers Canada Version), unlock it, and throw your sim in it. I'm using at&ts $10 unlimited "dumbphone plan" and getting 7 megs down and 2 up. Its no Verizon 4G LTE but decent speeds for $10 with unlimited data is an ok trade off. Oh yeah and you can use the mobile hotspot app with the dumbphone plan as much as you want XD I used 10gb last month.

Good analogy.
Actually I was thinking the same thing.
But I'm still up in the air on whether to get the Verizon razr or an unlocked xt910 to use on att.
I'd be paying around $80 or so a month for Verizon. I probably spend three times that amount each month on just Starbucks. So if I just cut back on my coffee it would work out. Hehe

Seen so many *****es about Sprint I thought I'd share.
Only company with unlimited data.
Only company with SERO (I have original SERO and SERO Premium).
Even without SERO my daughter and my sister both switched from Verizon and got very close to SERO Premium prices.
So I have one phone on SERO original that is qualified for upgrade.
And by wobbly EVO 3D (due to VM leak, at no fault of Sprints, just mine) that is not qualified for upgrade for some time on SERO Premium.
So I used the chat to ask if I could use Touch PRO 2 upgrade for an EVO 4G LTE to replace the EVO 3D.
She said yes. But I lose the return policy and any mail in rebate.
Turns out it's all instant Rebate.
Then I asked if I upgrade it on the Touch PRO 2 (online) will it force me to upgrade it's plan.
She said no.
I said I was worried it might change it.
And she came back and asked me if it was on SERO.
She knew exactly what I was worried about. I had not given them any account info.
It only changes the plan when you activate. And I will activate it on my EVO 3D line.
She also said if I did it in a store (I think because it's SERO) it would of upgraded the plan.
I forgot to save discussion. But they emailed it to me !!!
I did the online upgrade and it stated exactly what she said that the plan would not upgrade unless activated on that line. Very clearly layed.
It clearly showed no plan change.
Excellent service !!!
Not the fasted network. But good enough for my needs and doesn't break the bank.
And usually offers great phones.
A lot of times you here about the shortcomings of Sprint so its good to hear the opposite side of the coin sometimes. Glad to hear everything worked out for ya.

So Sprint did what should be expected and that is commendable? Lol
Look at it this way, if it was T-Mobile, you would have just had to pop in the SIM card. No call (or chat), no activation, no concern for plan changes.
Not saying T-Mobile is great, just saying Sprint shouldn't be commended for doing the bare minimum.
You had a line due for an upgrade, they let you upgrade it, and use the phone on another line. Every carrier out there will do this, and most of them don't require any contact with their CS to make sure it's actually possible.

I truly miss this about gsm phones. Over the years I've collected so many gsm phones that friends usually come to me when they lose their phone, cuz I'd give them one to borrow. Just pop in a sim and it's good to go. This is my first cdma phone. God forbid I lose it, esp. at a time when I need to use a phone really bad or something.

Yeah, too bad they no longer offer the SERO plans and have so many restrictions on them now. So you have an EVO on a SERO Premium plan, not a plain vanilla SERO, right?
mcguireslaw dot com/2011/01/18/sero-premium-and-premium-data/
I guess that answers the question.
I've thought about doing this. My wife's account is eligible for an upgrade. She doesn't want to upgrade because she wants a phone with a physical keyboard (she has the Epic 4G).
Mine is not eligible, as I bought my 3D when it came out. Can I use my wife's upgrade to get the 4G LTE, and then activate the 4G LTE on my line? I mean, I assumed I could do that, and it sounds like you are saying it's possible, but I wasn't sure. Do I need to give Sprint some special instruction not to activate the phone when I order it? Do they automatically activate it when you buy it (before it gets to you?).
Also, I know it will reset the upgrade period for my wife's account, but it won't for my account, correct?
I don't see another phone with a physical keyboard on the horizon, so I don't feel so bad in taking my wife's upgrade, heh.

Yes, that's exactly what I did.
No special instructions needed you can do it yourself online.

saying u like sprint because of sero is absolutely useless to the vast majority of sprint subscribers because its not available - not to mention, the vast majority doesn't have the plan.
upgrades on a yearly basis are over with, even for those with huge monthly bills.

Enjoy your Verizon bills.
Data works fine for me with Sprint, not blazing but good enough, way better than any GSM provider. Calls do too. Verizon is better but not worth the price. Nor do I like how Verizon locks out features that Sprint phones provide.
A co-worker of mine has Verizon and he pays a fortune for his plan. His phone never ran any faster or more reliable than mine.
I have Verizon FIOS and every chance they get they try to rip me off. Oops sorry for the double billing, oops sorry we forgot to cancel that feature. I hate them.
I was excited because Sprint gave me a brand new $400.00 phone for $35 with no insurance and it was completely my fault.
They often do early upgrades where you don't have to wait 2 full years. And in this case they let me mix my upgrade options.
The only reason I mentioned SERO was because I was impressed the Sprint rep knew about it, why I was concerned I might lose it if I mixed and matched my upgrade options and that their flexibilty might be limited on a SERO plan. It was not the reason why I started this thread. SERO is just icing on the cake. And I'd have Sprint even if I didn't have SERO.

For most people your post will be non applicable.
1: Sprint has the slowest data of all the carriers in most areas (according to several independent national tests). If it's faster in your area, just know that you are a rare case and it will be different if you travel to almost any other area. My Sprint 3G is actually slower than dial up (and slower than T-Mobile's throttled data).
2: Sprint is basically the same price as Verizon or AT&T these days. It might be a few bucks cheaper, but nothing significant.
3: T-Mobile is cheaper than Sprint.
4: Sprint's early upgrade program is dead. I know they used to do this in the past, but they killed that program. Now it's 2 years to upgrade, or pay the etf and then you can upgrade early.
i had my maxx flashed to pageplus by beigephone. it seems they have the knowledge/monopoly on flashing lte phones to a 3g mvno and using a non-4g sim
the only apparent catch is i am not suppose to take updates without risk of losing the flash and all programming info in the phone and then having to get the reflashed.
any way i can do this myself with the proper flashing software?
can cdma-ware do this by reading the phone and storing the flash info for later use?
the reason? saving $50/month over verizon with a current technology phone
There is a thread on Howard Forums.In the pageplus area
For flashing the bionic works with the maxx also
I used it to flash mine
After 181 update I had to redo mine
Total in investment was my time.

yea read all that a while ago
too much experimenting instead of real results and most not specific to razr
i'll stick with what i got getting solid 3g with a non-verizon sim and rooted until something more easy and specific comes out for flashing. who knows what each update might mess up. instead of possibly screwing this phone up and being without it.
Beigephone most certainly does not have a monopoly on the flashing market. I flash most 4g phones, as well as sprint phones to page plus several times per week, cheaper, and with better results because I know I will see my customers again next month when they pay their bill.
Beigephone is NOT an authorized pageplus dealer, and has lost that status because of their shady business practices, ie., selling iphones for pageplus, which is absolutely not allowed.
I paid 108 for CDMA workshop, and have made my money back, and then some, off of it, charging less than beigephone, and having it done within an hour of drop off. Knowing your tech and walking into a store usually yields better results that shipping off your phone to a person you will never see.

yea read all that a while ago
too much experimenting instead of real results and most not specific to razr
i'll stick with what i got getting solid 3g with a non-verizon sim and rooted until something more easy and specific comes out for flashing. who knows what each update might mess up. instead of possibly screwing this phone up and being without it.

I did mine and 4 others with the info
solid 3G everything working as far as I know everything is past experimenting stage
I have my razr flashed by beigephone too. Afraid to root and play with it. Will taking a backup and flashing it restore the phone back if my experiments go hay wire? Also do i need the paid version of the cdma workshop or will the trial version work?

Hello!
I wanted to know if you got any further into flashing a VzW Droid Razr to PagePlus?
If you think you do a better job than Beigphone than I would like you to do it for me.
I assume you can also activate it? How much is it to have the phone flashed plus the $55/month plan added?
Could you text me your contact information to 732-539-6673?
Thank you!
