I love my mogul...is there anyway to hack the phone so that I can get it hooked up with another network?
Good for you.
Sorry. There is no way to bring the sprint mogul to the Verizon network.
You will need a new xv6800. Much better phone anyway if you ask me.
why not? verizon opened their network to all devices, he should be able to activate it with them
It should be possible – for instance I operate Sprint Mogul in our local network. I even know people here who programmed HTC devices to have phone services from one network and the data (i.e. Internet) – from another.

I believe they are opening up their network and this won't be available until summer.

The most difficult thing would be to get Verizon to activate your ESN on their network. Verizon has announced that they will allow all approved devices, but that has not yet been implemented. You might be lucky enough to find a CS rep willing to do it.
After that, you would need to flash a Verizon ROM, get an A-key and MSID from Verizon, and either port your phone number to Verizon or get a new MDN. You would need to edit EPST to reflect these numbers.
After all that is done, dial *22801 on the device to set up the data parameters, followed by *22802 to load a Verizon PRL.
If I missed anything, or misstated any of the above, I am sure someone will chime in with a correction.
Actually... Verizon has opened their networks up, as of the 18th of February I believe. I could be wrong about the date, but I know its opened.
You can flash a verizon ROM onto your 6800, then call customer service and activate your phone. It should work that way, its what I did for a friend who switched from Verizon to Sprint for the cheaper data plan...

at least some areas opened it right after the announcement, berlin wall style, lol
I know this is an old thread, but has anyone successfully done this?
Specifically Sprint Mogul activated on the Verizon network.
Thanks
Not sure hoe to delete a double post...
so has anyone done this?
anyone know if a Virgin Mobile phone (in this case, the Optimus V) will work with the sprint airave? can't find anyone who can confirm this.
From what I've see online it will not work,it sends you to a message that says you're on a private network,get off if you want to make a call.I'm on a call with virgin mobile about it right now because I have absolutely no signal at my house,I'm trying to talk them into sending me one. A few people have been able to get a PRL update from VM to be able to use one that a sprint customer has,but I havent seen any cases of them being sent out to virgin mobile customers,I'm hoping to be the first.
I talked to several people in the virgin mobile support teams,they're all clueless,they had no idea what the airave even was. I had one of my friends with sprint call for me,he got one for me to try,I'm going to try connecting to it tomorrow,hopefully using a sprint prl will let me connect to it.
Any update on this?
Basically it can't be done,I talked to several support reps on both sides,they can't make it work. when connected to an airave you get a message saying to get out of range of the private network to make a call.
thats bullsh*t.. so pretty much u cant dial 911 if ur with vm and an airave is around.. there has to be a law against that.. and maby if we all get together sprint will change..
Let me note: I am not a dev nor programmer.
With the similiarities of the P6800 and the Verizon 7.7, I threw together a rom w/ stock SCH-I815 samsung/verizon kernel using the P6800 frameworks and apps into the Verizon 7.7 and removed most bloat. The LTE/Verizon antennas aren't recognized by the device at all but everything else was working.
Now, you can't swap the phone.apk's around without the framework's else you'll experience FCs. So obviously I'll need to use the base stock apps and frameworks and go through the 2 framework files hunting about.
Has anyone else with the Verizon 7.7 taken a look into this?
I'm curious if you've made any progress on this?
Not yet, probably be a week before I even look through the files again. But I believe it's fully possible to get phone use

i think you will need to find samsung modem for verzon networks, does verizon have a galaxy note or sgs2?
although your modem firmware probably has voice disabled, may have to find modem manufacturer and try to flash custom firmware.
good luck, wish you the best.
I'm happy enough using GrooveIP for google voice calling. What I'd really like is if we could activate the phone profile in bluetooth (or will that just come with enabling the proper phone part in the 7.7?).
As of now i can use GrooveIP and bluetooth to listen and speak, but it won't let the bluetooth device answer/hang up/transfer address book/show caller ID (on the Verizon LTE 7.7)
Doesn't verizon require some sort of signed telephony to work properly on their network

I got no idea but with the other packs it didn't detect the radio at all. This is keeping the vzw radio partition stock. I like the ideas and really wish the note was verizon as that'd help figure things out.

It does for LTE but cdma service doesn't use sim

Seeing as your data account won't have any provisioning for voice usage, even if you DID get a working modem and a modified framework to allow for phone functionality on the device, I doubt that you'd actually be able to made or receive a phone call due to Verizon's limitations at the account and provisioning level anyway.
Point is, it's a CDMA device, and thus your service is attached to the device itself, not the SIM card (except for LTE data). Basically, you can't just provision service to the SIM card alone, and then simply swap it into a different device. So if you got the modem and the framework working, and you called in to Verizon customer service and asked to provision your line for voice, they'll just be like "Umm, no... We never INTENDED for you to use that device as a phone, so no... You want a phone? Buy a phone. You want a tablet? Buy a tablet. You want to do both in one device? We won't allow that because that loses us money that we would be getting by having you either subscribe to two lines, or charge you extra to tether..."
There is a much simpler solution however.
Ditch ANY CDMA carrier in favour of a GSM carrier instead, preferably one that uses the same compatible frequencies adopted by the rest of the world, like AT&T (and MVNO's based off of AT&T's network), and buy the P6800.
The moral of this story is this: if you want the latest devices, with the best features, you're NOT going to find them in the north American market, EVER, at all, period; you're just going to find watered-down, gimped, bloated, and locked-down versions of the international models. You HAVE to import. If you're going to import, you HAVE to use a GSM service provider... That's just the way it is. It sucks, I know, but it is what it is.
I would have to agree, the GSM version would be best. It would be near impossible to make this happen. Of course if I was stick with one, I would try everything I could as well. I'd probably fail miserably and go for something like GrooveIP.

I move my SIM between devices all the time and have never needed to call VZ to provision the new device. Voice and data just work.

I can CONFIRM the following:
I have a VZ tab 7.7 with 5GB data plan and I have a VZ Razr with voice/unlimited data plan.
Both are LTE devices and hence use (micro) SIM cards. In "My Verizon" even the tab has a phone number assigned to it's "line". A call to that number just rings but obviously nothing on the tab.
BUT...
Put the tab sim in the phone and YES it will ring if you call that number! Even TXT in/out works! I assume they will just charge me per txt and per min phone use BUT IT WORKS in a PHONE.
And the kicker is, the unlimited PHONE SIM also works in the TAB! I immediately get LTE data and can surf with the tab. Of course at that point calls and texts to that phone number are "ignored" by the tab's neutered modem.
Lesson learned:
IF there was a way to flash a modem, say for example from the Samsung Galaxy Nexus to the VZ 7.7 TAB, we would have a full supersized phone in our hand. Only downside, no earpiece. So only speakerphone or BT calls I guess.
Anyway, after a little more research I also found this very interesting article:
http://www.phonenews.com/verizon-affirms-unlimited-smartphone-sim-card-usage-in-hotspots-tablets-lte-ipad-20053/
Hope this helps bring a little light into the messy CDMA/LTE darkness
I have swapped my Galaxy Nexus SIM in my VZW LTE 7.7 numerous times. It works. I'd love to have voice on the VZW LTE 7.7, then I could possibly do it all on my tab. I'm no developer tho ;p
for years ive been with sprint, but im getting very tired of the service decline and dont want to wait for network vision to roll out so i picked up a n4 on tmobile. i previously had two sprint lines, and am still keeping my main number on sprint but i want my n4 to be my primary phone. as far as i can tell i can integrate my sprint number with google voice, then just use gv on my n4 and i can use whichever phone i want and have the same number...correct? i know there are mms issues, but beyond that is there anything i should be wary of?

So your main number is on sprint that you want to use with GV? Yes that should work as described. Do the integration, and just add the tmobile number on google voice as one of the forwarding phones. I have mine forwarded to home phone and cell and works fine.
So I have a gs4 that I guess I have not ever had out of my local area. I recently went cross country only to find I had no service when off naive Sprint. My brother -same phone and service did. I called Sprint and they said it is my phone. I had already confirmed that it is trying to roam in settings. No dice. The only thing I can think of with my phone is that I did brick it once doing the hot spot mid, but got that fixed. Also I was never able to update my profile or prl till now, but it still does not work.
I am still on mf9 and did not want to update since I do not want to lose my call recorder or hot spot.
So...do you think a factory restore our taking the next update will get me roaming? Phone is worthless this way going cross country as I cannot even dial 911.
Btw Sprint said I could get my phone checked out for $75 FTN...I I would rather get a new phone...but hate the idea of no lte while on phone.
