Can anyone teach me to flash my own phone?

[AngellGurll]

Hi Everyone;
I wanted to know if anyone can help me flash my bb 8130 pearl from verizon to cricket. I keep losing the flash and tired of paying so much money to flash my phone. How is it done?
I hope I don't make anyone mad at asking for this, I am new on this forum and don't know the rules well...

What do you mean by 'to flash your phone'?

You might want to try the other forum group for the 81xx

which includes covering the 8130 - a CDMA phone - that is if anyone can tell you anything. Not sure it's possible.

This is specifically for the 8100 which is a GSM phone and not a phone you "flash". Swapping out sim cards is all you need for GSM phones to use different carriers.
