    Question Is there ANYWAY to make a Palm Pre work on Boost?

    Hey all, I have Boost CDMA and my phone got stolen and I happened upon a Palm Pre with a clean ESN, can anyone help me with getting it connected? I called a few times and tried on-line... I don't wanna give it up, I really like it and would like to use it if I can. Please help!!!

    Yes there is ONE way... the ILLEGAL way ...and NO ONE is going to tell you how to do it.

    The online (sprint.com) method will not work anymore, and hasn't for some time now.

    Neither will calling a Boost Mobile Rep and moving it in that way, because its an Exclusive Phone. It was talked about already in the sticky at the top of the Boost CDMA forum which you should have read first.

    I've been trying to get a Boost CSR to accept a Pre for a day now to no avail. But the last rep I spoke to said I needed to talk to Sprint first. He transferred me to their Tech support line, when I was asked for a 6-10 digit PIN. I explained to her that since I am not a Sprint customer I don't have one. She recommended I visit a store.

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Could a store rep even help? Is there a way to 'Bridge" a Sprint account with a Boost one?

    You cannot use a sprint exclusive phone on boost mobile. Its possible that a sprint tech rep *could* to force your boost account to accept an exclusive, you'd be hard-pressed to find one willing to do it.
    Left Virgin for Helio and all it had to offer... Only to get "acquired" back to virgin again... slowly loosing everything I switched for. Then came a light at the end of the tunnel when we got "acquired" yet again by sprint... sadly they brought us nothing and took from us everything, so as the ship sank I stayed aboard and then on the 23rd I quickly ported over to boost... and I'm the happiest I've ever been.

    RIP HELIO... you were set-up to fail but it was fun while it lasted.
