I bought a helio ocean phone on google. When I bought the phone I was under the impression that I could just transfer the service to the helio phone. I have service through Cricket and I called and had Cricket activate the helio ocean phone. Cricket told me what I need to do to activate the phone is dial *228. The problem is when I turn the helio phone on it asks me for the phone # and the activation code. I enter my phone # and then *228 and I get nothing??? I called helio and they said that the helio ocean could not be used for cricket uses?? Please help!! Is there a solution to this problem? Can I use the helio ocean for cricket service or is this a scam???
youll have to find someone with a helio account to activate or "switch" the phone for you. from there on, once you have access to the dialling, do as instructed by your phone company.

My Helios Ocean was flashed to work with Cricket cellular network. However, the mobile web feature keeps defaulting to the Helios programming after a few days. And when it works, the connection is very slow and often times no even usable.
