Iphone prl to cricket, but not prgramming?

[csx]

just had a verizon iphone 4 flashed to Cricket today, everything (call/receive call, send text only) works except for the "receiving" sms. desperately waiting for a custom firmware. Otherwise I would have to cancel cricket on iphone.

Firmware 4.2.8 jailbroken
Cannot send sms to some #'s of different carriers.
Cannot receive any incoming txt.

yea I did it OTA... I guess I wasn't in a big enough cricket network area or something, I had to go where their towers would pick up best and then I dialed *228 and it said welcome to cricket.

..maybe look up metro's areas closest to you where the signal is the strongest.. unless something is wrong with your programming, thats what I had to do

Hope this helps

how to program the phone number and MIN

[yoyoitsevan]

Well... Assuming you've already registered with cricket and flashed ur phone the OTA should do the number programming itself... Worked for me, but like I said I had to drive 2 hours to do it.
