Phone i want to buy a new helio cricket, but it says something about i have to have a cricket service or something like that im not sure what it means by that!

as long as its does not have a sims card it should be flashable to crickety

An Ocean on Cricket cant be flashed for picture text because Cricket uses MMS and there is no MMS Client in the Binary of the firmware on Helio phones because Helio phones use a different server-type to transmit their data. They use a MMSC/PictureMail based client. However a good flasher/tech can flash Internet/WAP on that Pantech Ocean.

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.

I also have a razor, and my phone company is cricket. When some one wants to change service to another company, sometimes the company they are switching to can "flash" the phone with the companys particular software, thus making it function with the new service. However, Im not sure if cricket has the capabilites to do this. Personally, ive been using cricket for close to five years, and I can honestly say that in means of customer service and quality, cricket is not the way to go. Im personally planning on switching to Verizon or Sprint soon and just buying a new phone altogether due to the lack of quality the phone and the service from cricket provides. Ive gone through several phones from cricket, and they were all fairly shabby. As a rule, DONT buy a Kyocera phone from cricket, they are cheap and not meant to last.

Hi,

Appreciate the direct "Ask Me'. Unfortunately the Helio Ocean is not available in my country and neither do Helio nor Cricket have a service here in the Philippines.

Just a start, do postback how things turned up or should you need additional information. Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

It can NOT be fully flashed. I used to work for cricket. You will not get anything but calls and text. that is it. If you receive or try to send a pic message it will scrable your flash and your phone will start to power off automatically when you try to use it! You have an option to disable pic messaging, but as I discovered today, if you send an MMS from a cell phone instead of an SMS it will do the same thing, scramble your flash and your phone will power off after being on for a few seconds. Shop around for a Motorola Z6M. Great features for a cricket phone. OR the LG EnVY is a great phone to flast to cricket. It has the keyboard and I have NEVER had and issue with a FULL flash on that one. Happy hunting, try craigslist.org

no..you cant unlock it at all..your just going to have to get a cricket or boost..OC phone have a locking on the web and pic java program to were fly genie is unaccessable..

busy signal can mean another phone on your line is till connected. remove each phone one by one till the line is open, this can be also a redial on a phone activating by itself, or if you have forward messaging activated it can do this as well if it stuck on.

any body no how how to flash a helio ocean to a cricket

a unlocked model wouldnt require flashing. I've never used a phone that was locked to a spesific provider.

Im pretty sure it can be unlocked / flashed to a difrent service provider, but Id recommend buying a model that works for sure.
