    U cant receive any incoming text? Not even from someone on cricket? I can receive texts from from other cricket users but nobody else not even text from others using text app and wifi. Ive tried proramming a couple custom firmwares and no luck yet with full services. Once had to start over.

    Default Re: Iphone prl to cricket, but not prgramming?

    Does Cricket have OTA capability in the East Bay (Oakland, Berkeley, etc) California? If not, what's the closest city I could drive to?

    According to their coverage maps, the bay area is Cricket native coverage (dark green) not partner coverage (Sprint, light green) -- aside from a few remote areas in the regional parks. This is a bit surprising, since Cricket won't activate new accounts here.

    However, after loading PRLs 42700 and 42900, dialing *228 gives me the message "your account is not authorized to make calls to this phone number" -- plugging that into google reveals that it is a Sprint message!

    If I do manage to get my iPhone4 working, will I be using Sprint service here? I understand that'll get my account terminated eventually. I thought dark green meant Cricket native coverage!

    try *22804,dark green does represent cricket coverage,and the "not opening of new accts." does represent partner coverage,so that is a bit confusing.but try the*22804 and see if that get you to the "welcome to cricket" ota message

    Thanks for helping, Rich... unfortunately no dice. The phone's MEID is in Cricket's inventory and attached to the $45/month plan (I did this at a dealer in Reno, NV). When I try to OTA in a region of Oakland, CA which is dark green on Cricket's map, here's what I get:


    *228 = "your account is not authorized..."
    *22801 = verizon
    *22802 = sprint
    *22803 = (hangs up immediately)
    *22804 = metropcs
    *22805 = (hangs up immediately)
    *22807 = (hangs up immediately)
    *22808 = (hangs up immediately)

    Try prl 32100, i've used that on a few iphones and never had an issue

    To err is human. To really screw things up, you need a computer
