Default verizon blackberry 8830 flashed to cricket

i got a verizon blackberry 8830 world edtion and i flashed it to cricket....when i call 611 and *228 it is on cricket...i called and gave them the esn under the battery to do a esn swap from another flashed phone..they told me to dial *22804 to activiate it...when i do that the phone screen goes to searching for cdma and says call failed.....when i dial regular *228 it says please hold while we program your phone then after a few minutes it says we are unable to program it at this time.....anyone else had this problem or know what might be wrong...thanks in advance

Questions for you.
How did you flash it?
What state are you in?
Hows the signal?
