Re: Question For Verizon Customers
said by pnh102  :A friend of mine who has Verizon told me that in the web-based account manager, you can change the phone you use with the account by changing the ESN (or something similar). Has anyone tried this with a non-Verizon unlocked CDMA phone, like say, something from Sprint? You would have to flash it with the Verizon BREW software. It may work for a PDA or Blackberry, but it's doubtful it would work for a normal handset without a lot of work.
In HowardForums, there are howtos for flashing phones with other software, but it involves firmware hacks to trick the system you're trying to activate the phone on to work with another carriers software ... and even then, a lot of features don't work.
