Boost/Sprint only allows certain devices on their network. You can't simply flash your phone and activate it because your Verizon Serial number won't be in Sprint/Boost's database.
Don't think you can, boost mobile uses sprint CDMA network. And cricket uses at&t gsm network, they aren't compatible. I think cricket used to be CDMA, then at&t took over.
As far as i know the answer is no. Metro runs on t mobile network, t mobile needs a removable sim card. Sprint and their phones does not work like that. You have to get a new phone with metro. The only phone companies that are compatible with metro, are t mobile, att&t, and I think cricket. You could try boost mobile, if I'm not mistaken ya they run on sprints network.
Possibly since Boost & Sprint are CDMA carriers (AT&T & T-Mobile are GSM carriers), but it may need to be reprogrammed by Boost in order to work. Most times, you need to hack into the phone to unlock it.
Above is incorrect. Boost uses two different networks each is different technology. The one using SIM cards is the IDEN network (Nextel). The other is Sprint (who owns Boost) and that does not take a SIM, it's a CDMA network. All Sprint phones can work on this network,but you must get Boost to activate the phone. They won't do this unless you are already a customer and tell them you are replacing a broken phone, then give the Sprint phone ESN# (under battery) for them to log in your account. If you have a Sprint LG Rumor it will then work without unlocking or flashing, no changes necessary.
I'm sorry to tell you, but an
ic902 can never be unlocked to work properly on any other system - to
include the Boost system. Here's why. The ic902 is a
hybrid phone. That is, it uses two different cellular systems to
operate. Specifically, voice calls on the ic902 are placed over the
Sprint CDMA network and Push-to-Talk (PTT) calls are transmitted over
Nextel's iDEN network.
Boost Mobile calling (both, voice and
PTT) uses the iDEN network from Nextel. Thus, the ic902's radio
transmitter (which is CDMA) cannot make calls on the Boost ( iDEN )
system.
Moreover, if you plan to use Boost Mobile, I STRONGLY
suggest that you NOT purchase a Nextel phone and have it unlocked to use
for Boost.
Although Nextel and Boost phones seem the same -
they are not. If you look at the model number of Nextel phones most of
them end in a zero. (ie., i850, i870 etc.) where Boost Mobile Phones
end with the number five. (ie., i855, i875, etc.) This is because the
transmitters in the phones are set to different frequencies for
different purposes (like for texting.)
If you go to eBay for
example, those who sell unlocked Nextel phones to use for Boost (if
they're honest) will inform potential buyers in their eBay listings that
their unlocked Nextel phone will not (text, for example) on the Boost
network. These unlocked Nextel phones will have limitations when used
on Boost.
To prevent problems down the road, ALWAYS purchase a
Boost phone to use on the Boost network.
