Mdn number Help, I am overseas and cannot activate my phone after resetting it. tried the ##778 method but cannot change/edit the mdn number. How can I do that?

Try these steps:

• log into your gmail account
• click on the icon (or your profile photo) in the opper RH corner and click on the "account" link
• Under the "personal info" tab, click on "edit profile"
• Click on the "edit" link under contact info to change phone number
• As you scroll down, you'll see a box that says "details from Google Contacts". Click on the "edit" link to edit your name

Hope that helps!

MDN stands for (Mobile Directory Number)

The actual phone number one would dial to reach a specific mobile phone.
Prior to Wireless Number Portability, MDN was the same number as the MIN for many mobile phones. But now that MDN numbers can be ported (moved) to other carriers, MDN and MIN will be different for ported numbers.

Sometime Its hard to unlock cricket phones but did you try the last four digit of your phone number? if still no luck. than dial ##626*. the phone will ask you for 6 didgit code, put 333333 and than goto MDN and change the last four digit of the phone number to 0000. Exit the setting. let the phone restart. you lock code should be reset to 0000 now.

enter ##626# and hit send button. it will bring u to option to select nam1 or nam2, select nam1.. go to next screen, enter in the sdc code which is 000000, (6 zeros), enter or next screen, make sure that mid is same as ur cell number, go to next screen, it will show ur number again, next screen, will be sid and nid numbers... they are what they should be, go next screen, then i think there is option to be done, view, edit choose done, next screen then it will program by itself. powering on then off, bringing u back to same screen with the same window of initial programming needed, just go to enter code, and enter the last 4 of your cell number, and it will let u through,.. just remember to go back in to your phone options menu and change the nam setting in there back to nam1 also. then it will power off and on again. program should be complete... you can always also dial *228 and option 2 to reprogram your phone again to
