I recently purchased a used Sprint Mogul on eBay... the seller didn't write much about the phone other than it works and it's missing the charger... i had a charger for PPC's from my Excalibur so it was no big deal...
I got the phone, it turns on and functions, and the ESN is clean!! (YAY! ) Also, it's already been flashed to Windows Mobile 6.1 (YAY!!! )
I called Sprint to have the ESN swap done and a number port from T-Mobile to Sprint... they initiated the ESN Swap and the number port at the same time. The port actually took place almost immediately. My T-Mobile "Dash"'s SIM card no longer registers on their network.
The problem is that the member care person told me to put in a code ( ##443235# ) and then select "Edit" and then "Ok" ... and from what I've read, the LAST pound isn't supposed to show up, it's supposed to redirect to a menu screen with 3 choices. This doesn't occur!! it types it in like a phone number!!
Now I have 2 phones, and neither one works. Somebody PLEASE help me, I know I can't possibly be the only person on the internet having this issue, but it sure seems like it because Google is vast and "#" isn't a search engine-friendly character
HELP!!
nevermind, i found the "EPST" file in the windows directory... can somebody explain to me what "EPST" is, and what ##778# does exactly on the Sprint network??
Hello all,
I am a proud new owner of HTC TD-2...i have been using this for a month now. excellent performance so far.
I used to recieve call summary/ call charge sms after a phone call or net use on my previous Symbian based phone, but i cannot get this SMS on my HTC TD-2. any special setting i need to change/ enter??
Thanks in advance,
Geo
Went to HTC care center... they changed the SIM card and tried the same... and it worked..so i guess it is network dependent service and my network doesnot support it. i have to live with it...: mad:
So I got an android based Evo 4G off ebay to be used an an ipod touch replacement. It's also rooted with a modded Cyanogen7 ROM. I tried dialing for fun and it asked if I wanted to buy a prepaid pin for $15 for unlimited calling for 30 days.
So I did, bought and tried it and it works, but when dialing you have to press 2 enter the pin and then enter the phone number. I was wondering if I could tie that pin to the phone so I wouldn't have to enter it every time I make a phone?
How many different #s do you call? You could just save it in the contact information as the pin then the phone #. I have a few contacts I use for work that I saved *67 b4 the phone #
Go TrevE !!!

Thanks for the info. what does #67 do? I tried that and it gives me the same speel as if I try to dial a number. If I try to just enter the pin that doesn't work either, so I can't put it before the number.
*67 blocks your number from the recipient.

You can save a contact and add things like waits and pauses into the number so its more automatic...
It sounds like the pin is separated from the phone call.
So I'd imagine that including the pin in the contact info wouldn't help.
Can you simplify the pin to make it easier to dial in?
Edit: also, what service is this that'll give you 30 days unlimited calling for $15?
~ I'm a fungi
I'm guessing sprint, given it's an EVO 4G phone for the sprint network. I don't have an account with sprint so when I sent to dial it said I could either press 1 to make a collect call or press 2 to buy or use a prepaid pin.
When I pressed 2 it then gave me the option to buy 30 days of unlimited talk time for $15.
Try using gv dialer replace the Google voice number with your number followed by your pin

Just Talk time I Think.
So, yesterday I said goodbye to Sprint and the account is activated and I have till 1-7-13 to port the number out or they will charge for another month of service rates. I have ordered a Nexus 4 and will be here in 6-7 weeks, patience is a virtue. In the meantime I am using an old flip phone with AT&T pay as you go for $25.00 I want to port my sprint number but, do not have the new phone before 1-7-13 when the account will be closed.
Questions:
1-I ordered a Tmobile prepaid micro sim card and should get it tomorrow. Should I go ahead and activate the sim card and port the number even though I do not have the Nexus 4 yet?
2- If I activate online, can I port the Sprint number online or should I call TMobile to do it?
3-Can I buy a cheap TMobile prepaid phone, activate it and then switch the sim card to the Nexus 4 when it comes in? Doing this will allow me to test TMobile in my area before I get the phone or since it is a cheap phone I should wait to get the beast?
4-What is the advantage of porting the number to Google Voice? If I am possibly going to be testing TMobile and ATT Straight Talk plans for a month each. I do not want to lose my 13 year old phone number and have to notify all my contacts of a new number from either ATT or TMobile.
I am just trying to make a smooth and simple porting of the phone number from Sprint asap since the account will be closed on -7-13 before the Nexus 4 gets to me. Any other suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
It is a bit confusing when the Walmart employee tells me that the TMobile sim cards with the phones they sell are tied to those phones and you can not switch to the Nexus 4. She also told me that the $30.00 plan on TMobile only applies to Walmart purchased phones. When I questioned TMobile on this, they stated that was not true and since I am not buying the phone from Walmart, I can order the TMobile prepaid sim card and activate it online and still get the $30 plan. Then, to call TMobile and they would port my number over.
Thanking in advance,
Ian B
1) Unless you have a phone in which you can activate the MicroSIM card you plan to use in the N4, wait. The setup process asks for an IMEI, and while I don't think it matters, you wouldn't have your Nexus 4's IMEI yet.
2) When you activate the T-Mobile MicroSIM, the process will include having them transfer the number from Sprint. Just have your Sprint account info handy.
3) The advantage of using Google Voice is that it adds some flexibility in how it's used, without using "minutes". This is popular on, for example, the $30/month T-Mobile plan, since it only has 100 minutes of talk.

Thanks for the info but, as you can see the account will close on 1-7-13 before the Nexus 4 gets to me at the end of January 2013. I could get the cheapest prepaid TMobile phone to activate the sim card and get the Sprint phone number ported over before I lose it on 1-7-13 which I do not want to lose.
What do you think on buying the cheapest prepaid TMo phone idea?
Thanks again,
Ian B

You shouldn't need a device to activate your sim card through Straight Talk (i'm on it now with AT&T). The only thing it will ask for is your straight talk SIM Card information and the phone number you want to port.
https://www.straighttalk.com/secure/Activate - Select "Transfer my number from another company"
It will walk you through the steps, I did this with both my wife and I account (both coming from Verizon).
Porting for my wife took only 30 minutes while mine took close to 8 hours. It will still port even though you dont have it in a device. From what I remember you can only confirm the port was successful is when you use the SIM (it shows as HOME instead of No Service).
If you want to ask straight talk directly, best to use their twitter feed as they respond better there.

Thanks Ibegary;
I will hold off on buying a prepaid phone then. I called earlier Straight Talk customer service and had a hard time understanding them. I don't use Twitter but, your link is pretty self explanatory. I think is the same issue with TMobile. They just shipped my sim card today and once it comes in, I can port the number to them without having a device and activate the sim card. They told me I have 120 days to get money into the account.

About Verizon -- Do you know how the Verizon billing process comes into play. I am currently with Verizon, on contract. Waiting and preparing for the N4. Received a shipping confirmation today, for the Straighttalk ATT microsim card. Will I need to call Verizon and cancel my service, after ST ports the number from my Verizon account? If the number is ported in the middle of the Verizon billing cycle, do I get nicked for the whole billing period? Or, are Verizon charges suspended, automatically, once ST takes control of the number? I would like to avoid the charge for a whole month of Verizon, if the N4 arrives on or shortly after the start of a new billing period. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

First question: Do you plan to use Google Voice?
If NO, then hold off on activating the SIM until you have your phone in hand.
If YES, then this is the perfect time to port your number to Google Voice from Sprint (as I did) so you get to keep the same phone number and use VOIP to make and receive your calls, plus all the benefits of Google Voice. It will take 24 hours exactly until the number port is complete. It will take a day or two more until you can receive text messages through Google Voice. When you finally have your Nexus 4 phone in hand, activate the SIM per the included instructions in conjunction with the IMEI number on the new phone. You DO NOT want to port your number to T-mobile during the activation, just get a new number. You can quickly forget about this new number. There are guides already on how to setup VOIP with Google Voice + Pbxes.org using SipDroid to do all the configuration for you, then you can delete the SipDroid app off your phone. You DO want to install CSipSimple on your phone and configure it to connect to Pbxes.org (which is already wired to use GTalk and Google Voice by now). CSipSimple will integrate with the android stock dialer, or you can use CSipSimple as your default dialer. One more thing, I got tired of Android asking me if I want to make a VOIP call using Pbxes or Cell (T-mobile minutes) that inside CSipSimple I made a rule that ALL calls be made by Pbxes. So, I just use my phone as normal and CSipSimple makes the call and answers my calls. It really really is wonderful when I look at my T-mobile minutes, but none have been used and I get great call quality.

A couple of questions, Straight talk and TMobile prepaid do not handle mms, correct? If that is so, can I get mms through google voice?
Your set up sounds too complicated for me and I only average about 40-60 mins of talk time per month so not worried about the 100 mins in the $30 TMob plan.
Thanks,
Ian B
P.S.---if someone in the Austin, Cedar Park area w a Nexus 4 with ST or TMob prepaid, send me a pm so you can call me and I can pick your brain on this stuff.

Do not call Verizon in fact you do not need to talk to Verizon at all
What will happen is straight talk will take your account number and billing pin and start the port for you with Verizon once the port is complete Verizon will close the line for the account
About 2 to 3 weeks later you will receive your final bill from Verizon that will include any ETF charges and any credit for the remaining of your billing cycle where there was no usage
So for example if your billing cycle is on the 29th and you ported on the 14th then you'll be charged for 14 days of service and then you'll be credited the other 14 or 15 days
Hope this helps
