I have the same problem, nearly. I took my Verizon iPhone 4. I bought it in january without a contract and have been using it with verizon. I recently cancelled and am trying to change over to Cricket. I flashed the phone, it shows cricket under "network" and also says the carrier is "cricket 11.3" PRL "35713" ERI "6". It connects to the network but my meid is not authorized to use the network. There are no dealers or corporate stores except for a few states over.I live in California and the nearest is in Texas. I tried to activate it by calling cricket but they say that the meid is "ineligible" for service in my area. I believe it has something to do with it being an iPhone and cricket's recent acquisition of iPhone's of their own. I have been looking all over the web for a way to change or at least spoof my MEID so i can activate this phone. I bought a cricket pay as you go phone and I want to copy it's MEID onto the iPhone.
