I have a old blackberry that i had flashed to cricket a couple years ago and i moved out of state and just kept the phone number. I am now trying to change the phone number i called cricket and had them change it in my account and when i hit 611 it still goes to cricket. But when i try to dial somewhere my phone doesn't work . How do i change my number in my phone to the new number i got? Sorry for caps:d

You need to reprogram the phone. dependin who the original carrier 8330 it was you can contact them and see if they would provide you with the MSL code or try ##000000 enter

Well i hit ##000000 and it goes to a list what do i do from there? Do i just put my new number in then do what ?

[aznlgcy]

Where ever your old number is replace it with your new number with area code and then press menu and save

[williamsmchad]

Then thats it then it will be all set up with the new phone number they gave me?

[williamsmchad]

ok i did that and i saved it then took the batterie out and rebooted it and its doing the same thing it wont dial out.

[aznlgcy]

Also on the dial out screen does it show your new number?

Call cricket and see if they can guide you through the process then. Sorry I couldn't be more help

[williamsmchad]

yes it shows the new number on the screan and now it wont dial 611 to go to cricket ..lol damn

[aznlgcy]

if you remember you're old number change it back and you should have access back to cricket

[williamsmchad]

yea i changed it back and it still didnt work and wouldnt even go back to cricket with the 611

Yeah the reason is b/c there are two numbers that need to be changed, first you have to put your number in(like above) and then on the same screen you put your number in there is a carrier specific ten digit number that the carrier will tell you to type in below it. Your gonna have to call the carrier.

Is it possible that i can send them a email to find out that code..And what exactly is the code called that i need to get? Is it a phone number or like a account number..
In the ##000000 . What slot does the code go into , in the IMSI_S : slot?

You need the MDN - your 10 digit phone number, and the MSID - a 10 digit number that goes in the IMSI_S slot. You will have to call your provider to get the MSID.
