New carrier i need help locking a verizon LG ENVY from verizon to alltel. i know its possible and pretty easy i just dont know how.

Hi Dawn Lynn Martens,

You can take the device to Verizon to see if they can activate it with their frequency. Since they handle CDMA devices as the Motorola E815.

Alltel was aquired by Verizon. Call Verizon customerservice. It may not be possible to use the phone with verizon though. Alltel was GSM and Verizon is CDMA.

Well, with Alltell it may be hard to keep your phone since they use CDMA (pretty sure) which means you cannot just swap SIM cards. But they did just get bought by Verizon so it may be possible to switch up to them and keep the phone, but you will probably have to call them to find out. The people who work at the Verizon store may not be able to help you unless it is a big one.

if youre trying to program your alltel phone number on a verizon phone yet keep your alltel service its not going to work. the phones are locked to the carriers and cannot be unlocked. depending on where your cellphone number is based out of your serivce will most likely turn into verizon anyway. but as far as i know right now you cannot use the verizon phones.
i could be wrong, i live in an area that is going to become AT&T not verizon.

You can use it on Alltel but until the Verizon/Alltel merger is complete you would only be able to send and receive text messages and make and receive phone calls. You would NOT be able to access any program that requires the internet and you would not be able to send or receive picture messages.

The easiest way to do this is after you add the ESN to you account is to dial *22801 and press send. It should say welcome to Alltel and then all you have to do is press 3 to program your phone and after that is successful you need to Dial *22801 again then press 2 to update your PRL and viola you phone will now be able to talk and text on your Alltel account

The phone should not be locked. Verizon phones will work on Alltels network. Once it is on the Alltel network you just need to update the PRL. Alltel phones use Alltels network and Verizons network so it really should not matter what name is on the phone.

No, you cannot unlock a CDMA device. Sprint and Verizon devices cannot be unlocked to use with another carrier such as AT&T, Centennaial, T-Mobile, or Alltel because they dont use SIM cards except for the internation phones which only recognize international SIM cards.

i accidently locked my lg vx3300 & don't know the 4 didget unlock code

sorry you cant as Verizon blocked this feature for some reason, though you can get the file off of the phone on to a computer and then send it to the rumor via bluetooth.
