samsung a 870 cdma cell phone unlock?

Question

I was trying to change my verizon A 870 samsung cell phone to cricket, i have done this once before with a samsung A740
and it worked, but i cannot pull up the svc menu now, so i needed to know if anyone knew how to do this? Or how to unlock the verizon phone. I bought this off ebay, and it turned out not to be on cricket service.

Answer 1

Verizon doesn't lock their phones. Even if you can't get into the manual programming you should be able to program it OTA with *22804 for Cricket once they have your ESN loaded into their system. The manual programming can be accessed using setting + 0, NAM Programming. Even after this I would still dial *228 to update the PRL in the phone.

Answer 3

Your telephone is CDMA and CDMA telephones do no longer use sim enjoying cards, and can't be unlocked. CDMA telephones could desire to be flashed to a diverse provider's utility and settings each and every time you desire to alter vendors, that can in all hazard brick the telephone each and every time that's flashed plus AT&T is a GSM provider so which you will no longer flash the telephone to them the two...Sorry however the telephone wont paintings with AT&T./
