I have a blue slider se47 programmed for "US Cellular" I bought a pink slider se47 for my girlfriend it was supposed to be programmed for US Cellular but instead it was for Cricket. I am not using my blue one any more, and I have been given US cellular permissions to do what Im about to ask. I need to know what I need to copy from the blue phone to the pink one to make it work on US Cellulars network and I also need to know what software is required. I have a couple of versions of KPST and one version of QPST or QPST I cant remember. Thank you I eagerly await your reply

It's against US Cellular's user policy to activate any phone on their network that is not branded US Cellular.

I should have said I have the local US Cellular stores permission. What do you mean by US Cellular branded? I activated a used KX2 last week which has Verizon written on the front. Is the branding in the phone settings somewhere?

Branding refers to whos UI (user interface) is programmed into the handset. The two indicators of whos UI the phone has is what it says at power up and what the data icon says. All US Cellular phones say US Cellular on one of the start-up screens and the data icon will say EasyEdge. US Cellular does not want other companies phones on their system for several reasons: if the software is not edited properly, the 1X/E911/GPS system may not work properly, the data network may not work properly, your ERI (enhanced roaming indicator) may not work properly, you may not get your messages, you may be billed for roaming when you are not roaming, etc.

So I used KPST software used phone settings transfer to transfer all data from the US Cellular one to the Cricket one, then backed up the US Cellulars settings in Service Programing and in Software Download. I then restored those backups to the Cricket phone. When it restarted it came up with the US Cellular symbol instead of the Cricket one and it CONNECTED!!! to the US Cellular network where as before it just searched for signal. So I examined the phone and everything was the same as the US Cellular settings accept for the ESN, PERFECT!! I called the 1888 number for US Cellular and activated the phone it works perfectly now, and I still have mine as a backup if its ever needed.
