Default ALL BB's flashed to cricket w/ mms, internet working!!

yes it's true, for those of you who want to take your BB to cricket and get all the service that they offer, you can. BB are able to be flashed to cricket service and get all the internet, mms, text, pics, etc. for it without having a BIS service on the device. trust me it's all over the web about it. check it out and see what your take is on it. leave your comments, i would like to know from the guru's of crackberry what they think about this.

Yea I agree, I don't know if that would be that great. Cricket quality isn't that great either.

And which I want to add that I am not against saving money but turning your BB into a crapberry isn't something worth doing, especially if your business relies on BIS or BES service.

Cricket is great for those wanting to save money, but not sutable for those in the business of making money and networking as a profession.

Smile Tour with Cricket!!!

Amazing. Cheap and Amazing.

My tour is fully functional and I absolutely love it. Cricket is a young developing company which has dependable customer support and competitive pricing. Also the idea that those of us in the business of making money would not be concerned about our phonebills is a ridiculous mindset. Anyone who is truely business minded knows that saving money is making money.

get a life jerks. no one asked for your opinion about inexpensive services only if it could be done. does it make you feel important to put people down for trying to save some money? how many hours have you spent in front of the damn computer, playing with your phones because you have nothing better to do? get a girlfriend or some exercise! ps networking doesnt produce an income by itself. crack(berry)heads

I totally agree with you. There are times in business where you have to make "make sense" decisions, and cutting costs are one of them. We flashed our 2 blackberries (pearl and world) to cricket and get full service! Web, mms,SMS, and even email. Although we don't use bis/bes we can get push mail through 3rd party apps and messaging as well and quite frankly the only difference I notice is the price reduction. We have great reception and good customer service which is more than we got from our prior carrier. I think that cricket will continue to pick up customers as they grow. I am glad that we flashed the phones to Cricket. It was a good decision.
