Metropcs does not accept my BB esn

**valleycellular** · 07-22-2010, 09:43 PM

I was able to flash my Blackberry pearl 8130 to Metropcs but when i go to the stores or call the customer service to change my account onto my flashed bb they tell me the esn is not in the system. Is this because i may have messed up in the flashing process? or is it something that i have no control over?

You need a dealer to put it in using hudini I believe.

You have to find a dealer willing to put it in the system for you or have it flashed with Houdini to have it done automatically. I know the blackberries are not on the flash list so that only leaves a dealer willing to put it in the system. Most will charge you bout $20 to do it.

Yes both are correct. If I were you, I would go to a corporate store first as they charge less. But if you run into the issue of "rulebook" enforcement like some coprate stores will flex, then resort to the authorized dealers. Take note they will charge just about double the price that coporate will though. If you have any other questions, feel free to PM me. Thanks.
