Well you could use deathtrip's service www.sprint2boost.com. 30 bucks if you want to start a new boost account, 20 to use the one you already have. But it sounds like you havent deactivated roaming on the phone, (seems to be a common problem) so you would need to go into the settings menu and change the phone to "sprint only" or something like home network. (if I knew what phone you are using I could give more detailed instructions)

whats not working? turning off roaming?

[brka108]

yeah i have it on sprint only as on now and still nothing

[turbointhailand]

ok on my TP (1st Gen) you go to the settings tab... then communications... then settings on the bottom right... then phone... then the services tab... then roaming (click get settings)... then select sprint only.

It should be similar to what it is on your pro 2.

[turbointhailand]

ok since thats not working perhaps you could do a reset... was it already set to sprint only or did you change it?

[brka108]

i changed it and soft reset but nothing..would flashing to a non stock rom maybe fixx this?

[turbointhailand]

I havent heard anything about that fixing something like this... but I know that when you activate a sprint phone you need to have the sprint stock rom installed to get it to provision properly. I wouldnt suggest doing a hard reset at this point because it would remove all the settings you need... can you access your account on the boost website, and if so does everything look normal, no flags so to speak?

well again like i stated i purchased the phone and service from someone (questionable desicion i know) he gave the password so that i could pay my 50 a month..ive tried to log in but no go..i tried going to dead trips site but i think its down..

[brka108]

i read some where about updating prl ? but when i try i get an error mesage with that

[turbointhailand]

Oh I misunderstood. I didnt realize you purchased "their account"... hmm deathtrips website seems to be working on my end... try this: http://www.sprint2boost.com/index.html

so the phone was working (all services) for a couple days and then suddenly nothing worked right? so when you got the phone did you pay the first $50 bucks onto the account? if so perhaps the guy wanted a new phone and a free month and let you pay and then dropped your TP2 and changed the account pin... which would make him quite the lowlife.

I dont know much about prl... but from what I remember it tells the phone what "home" towers to look for, but I doubt that would randomly change like that... but again its outside my area of expertise.

ok the site works now and yes that would make him a sleeze..when i payed i payed for the phone and service..now my question is would i be able to reactivate the tp2 on boost with a new account?

yes assuming that he did infact do that, then yes your esn would be clear to reactivate. you can check the esn by going to www.sprint.com/chat and asking them to check your esn (meid dec) to make sure that you could activate it on a new account. but I think you will prob have to wait until morning to check.
