I found a good deal on a Verizon Treo but we're with Sprint. What's involved in the changeover, including cost? Is it worth it?

The upgrade prices on Sprint.com are crazy; I'm trying to get one off Craigslist so my wife can enjoy bluetooth and text messaging, as well as the web and mobile programs on a Palm or Windows Mobile platform. I'm trying to do this for less than $300 (new OR used)

 

Gee, thanks guys.

best deal i have seen in the cellular industry

 

kwelity, that's a good link, but not for existing clients, as usual with Sprint.

I guess to answer my own question, I bought my wife a treo 650 off CL that was already a sprint phone, so that's out of the way.

I guess my question is, do I need to unlock the phone to have it work when we change providers?

 

You can't change a Verizon phone to Sprint phone at all...
If you are not under contract you can get the SERO plan... Some have success while still under contract

 

Hmm, can't you unlock the phone, then switch to Verizon?
Also, the SERO website specifically says you have to be adding a new line of service, but I guess we could always try it eh?

I guess the SERO thing is done all online?

 

you CAN NOT use a sprint phone on Verizon EVER. same for going the other way around.

 

wait wait did i misread the first post?

You want to swap a verizon phone to sprint?

Like everyone else said thats not going to work.

And yes if you are persistent you can get your existing plan transferred to SERO

I did
