4S on PagePlus

[Extraordinary]

All iPhones on P+ over here are operating just fine. No reports of accounts MIA.

Yeah, ok.......I'm calling BS on this one.....lol. Why mention that you came here first to read before putting the iphone on PP? Of what relevance is that to your initial post or to what you claim has happened?

This site has been the only site to put out real information for helping people with pp. it helped me find info if I could bring my droid when I first came to them. So I came here when i wanted the iPhone. And I saw the success people had with the phone.

Thats what Im thinking also. I came here first to read before i got my number on one. as soon as i hear something back from them ill will post what they have done to help me.

Do you get your voicemail when you call your iPhone number from another phone? If so, then PP may have just swapped your # to a "dummy" phone. If so, just get another phone that's allows on PP, switch to this phone and all should be well again.

So heres what happened. Some stupid dealer ported my number. He ment to port a different number, and as everyone knows the defalt pass code is the last 4 of your cell phone. But they were able to get my number back on my iPhone...and im happy again

Thanks for posting an update. I'm sorry for being a little harsh earlier....... but what was all that 'deactivating iphones' stuff about then?

Quick update - found a great deal on a brand new iphone 4s and just activated it. No problems at all!

Imessage still doesnt work though lol

Update, I checked settings and imessage works now!

The camera on the 4s takes pictures much faster than the 4, but the battery does drain a litle faster.

Hi everyone,

I received an unlocked iPhone 4S from a friend in Australia. I was wondering whether I'd be able to port my current PP number to this iPhone? Judging from the posts here it seems like it'll be ok, I just want to make sure

When you 'port' a number, you transfer a number from one carrier to another carrier.

Page plus is required by the FCC to release your number if you desire to port it to a new carrier. You will have to make sure your new carrier suppors the iPhone.

Oh sorry, I meant that I just want to transfer my current PP service from my current flip phone to my new iPhone (while keeping the phone number). I thought that was called porting as well...

Well, as I stated in a previous post, I was able to activate my iPhone 4 just by calling customer care and talking with a CSR. It seems that many other people have had success doing this as well. However, I don't think that we have heard an 'official' statement from pp as to if they allow the iPhone or not.

I would try to give customer service a call when you have the iPhone and ask them to do an esn change (don't call from your pp phone).

As always, YMMV.

ESN change. Call PP CS or log into your PP online account to use "Livehelp" chat to make the change for free.

Are you sure it is a CDMA iPhone? I didn't know Australia had a CDMA provider since Telstra shut down.

I was wondering the same thing. Even though the 4s is a world phone, I don't think an Australian iPhone will work with Verizon. If the ESN isn't in Verizon's database, and why would it be, then it should not activate. The Australian iPhones come unlocked, but that only relates to the GSM side of things, as I understand it.

[imaltesers]

Ok, I was under the impression that the Australian iPhone would work with Verizon since it's a world phone, but I guess that's not the case. I don't have the iPhone right now to test it, but if things aren't working out I guess I'll just tell my friend to keep the iPhone.

I found an article the explains the unlocking situation, and currently I understand it as this: AT&T iPhone can't be used with a CDMA network; Sprint iPhone won't activate on Verizon; Apple's unlocked iPhone doesn't work on CDMA networks. And an unlocked iPhone purchased overseas won't work on CDMA networks either. *dizzy*

So now my question is: if I want to use an iPhone on PP, does it have to come from Verizon?

Yes, that is correct. It has to be a Verizon specific iPhone.
