Ting: Anyone flashed to these guys? - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I just came across info about Ting. (www.ting.com)
Seems they are a Sprint MVNO with 4g. I kinda like the way their plan structure works, and I've been debating dropping Sprint and porting my Epic over to the CDMA side of Straight Talk or something similar. Anybody here with experience using Ting?

I know people who have done it and talked about it on IRC. They seem happy with it. Just use the same method as boost.

Epic on Cricket - can it be done?

Ok guys, I know I searched but using the app didn't bring any results... anyways is it possible to get the epic on cricket? I posted a similar topic on another forum and someone said it wasn't possible due to my area. Now I'm going to go on a limb here and call bull. Since when does it matter what area you are in for a phone to work? Cricket uses sprint, and this is a sprint service area, so no worries there. And its not an AWS serviced area either. So again, no worries there. So how can I get this guy on Cricket? Reason I want to go Cricket instead of Boost for example, is because I want to avoid ESN swapping if at all possible. Any one have any suggestions here? Thanks guys!

There is a full walk through on here to flash to cricket/metro pcs with working mms as well. Have seen it in the epic forums, just not 100% sure where lol.

How to flash to another Carrier (Cricket,Metropcs,Etc)

i wanted people To see it work but there is still more to the puzzle like data I'm sure this was not the only way to write a prl to the phone and can't wait to get my hands on another one as the one I had was a customers dat had took it to 3 cricket store already and was giving the run around about how its impossible to flash it took all of a hour to get it talk and text flash with a little more time I'm sure I could have got data
Could one potentially use part of this to safely change their PRL only? i.e. putting a corporate PRL on the phone?
EDIT: It seems to have worked.
Yes You can use this To put any prl You want even tho u rename it test it still Will show the verison in about

Whoa, what happened to your original post?
So even though this is a 4g lte phone, it is able to be flashed to metropcs? Currently i have the evo 3d flashed to metro and I wanted to get the galaxy nexus. But I wasn't sure if the sprint version could be flashed or not.

It is flashable to metropcs? I read somewhere that the sprint one is a qualcom based phone. How do you know forsure? They said it has the qualcom sticker in it when you buy it
It can be flash to metropcs

If i was to buy a sprint galaxy nexus and go to any metropcs, they would be able to flash it and get talk and text with their program of houdini? or you have to use a different program in order to flash it?
As of right now no houdini Will not work You can check there website tho

Metro PC's is a joke
You are better off looking on Craigslist find someone who has a store (preferably)
Why?
Because even in the event they do do it you will probably only get talk and text.Usually no mms or web
An independent retailer will most likely get the job done better.

How would you get the ESN into MetroPCS's inventory if there's NO MORE Houdini and being that it's a ESN beginning with 99XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX?
PM if needed! Thanks!
Sph-L700 sprint galaxy nexus
No one can flash this at all. Is there/Will there be software? So that it can be flashed to cricket. This is what I wanted. Now I guess I will put the phone on craigslist. Any insight.
What about another phone similar like nexus s
I have been kicking myself for a week now trying to get a Nexus on cricket and I have been getting nowhere. Its their international phone and it works when I put a sim card in it from AT&T and T-Mobile but no such luck with Cricket.
Sorry about the hi jack. But the site video said if I can't find the exact answer that I'm looking for I should find one close to it and post it in there.
The phone is mod GT: i9020T Google Nexus S
Thanks in advance.
You can only flash a CDMA phone to Cricket or MetroPCS the i9050T is a GSM phone.. if it uses a sim card it wont work...

Sprint and Verizon

Ok my friend wants my phone when I upgrade, but he has sprint can I trade the phone over to sprint or its not gonna work?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
Sprint is CDMA so it seems like a possibility. I've only ever heard of people flashing their phones from Verizon to cricKet or boost mobile but if you can find a way to flash it to sprint then that is probably the key. I know this isn't the most productive post in the world but I wanted to keep the hope alive haha
Like mentioned above, due to it being CDMA, it definitely seems possible. I however don't have any experience with this one so until someone else comments, google may be your best friend =P

[Q] prl changes

Just curious if it is possible to swap to the '00002' verizon prl that has been floating around. I have flashed that on a few of my evos and it worked, just curious if it will play nice with galaxy devices as well since I am new to them.

They definitely can, I have heard of it. I just get terrible reception in certain areas and I know verizon coverage is slightly better so in these areas I would like the speed boost
Also that bootleg prl does not have the records to enable lte and 800smr. Plus the author screwed it up and set all the international stuff as non roaming too. You could rack up a bill and never know it.

Verizon nexus 4g lte straighttalk

I've read and searched around. Some say no. Some yes works great 3g only just flash it. I can't find a guide for flashing this phone to straighttalk aside from esn cloning which I don't want to do.... the byop deal from straighttalk says cdma phone can be used but no lte phones. Just want to get the basics working not worried about 4g.
Any help is appreciated

Well I guess cloning is the only way. Anyone have a guide for the nexus?

straight talk lte
To anyone with any 4G lte phone. Straight talk now has new LTE Sim cards for Verizon phones and Sprint phones. No need for flashing ever again straight talk will activate LTD on your phone.
