Hello everyone. Wanted to ask if there's a way to program my treo 750wx from sprint to work on us cellular. I have a Q on us cellular and I really miss my treo.

Can anyone help, give me directions, etc.... thanks in advance....

there currently is no way...

if we attempted to enter the esn of your treo it would say not found in system. we dont currently have a method of adding it to the system either. i know verizon is supposedly allowing other devices if they've "past certification testing", but currently only devices manfactured for sprint service work on the sprint network.

Actually, it looks like mwest7 was asking about going the other way-- putting a Sprint device on US Cellular.

mwest7: This would involve re-flashing the firmware on the Treo, and even then US Cellular may not allow it to be activated on the network due to potential policies which may prohibit the activation of phones which are not actually US Cellular handsets. I work for a Sprint retailer (and it looks like doyphoto does too) so I can't speak for US Cellular's policies on this.

I would suggest you ask whether US Cellular would even activate the device once it's reflashed. Post a message in our US Cellular forum, bearing in mind the folks there probably won't be able to assist you with the actual reflashing process. You can find the US Cellular forum here: http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=185

For guidance on the reflashing, you may turn to our Palm forum, here: http://www.howardforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=180

Sorry we couldn't be of more help, but you *did* land in the CDMA Motorola forum (totally the wrong place, but we'll forgive you!)
