Sprint BB's on Boost???

[Frankyd1979]

Let see if I get more than one response on this thread. I use to be a T-Mobile employee and I am no longer. I was thinking about going to Metro but if you have an unlocked BB you cant use BBM. Not gonna work for me. Thinking about going to Boost. Question is will any unlocked BB's have BBM service. Even if lets say I get a Sprint Bold will it work????

As far as I know any Boostberry(ie Sprint or Nextel BB flashed to Boost) cannot operate with BBM or BIS/BES because Boost won't let you put a $60 unlimited plan (with the BB plan) on them. B/c they only accept the PIN's or esn's for their Boost branded BB's. There's no way around it as far as I know. If you need BBM just buy one of the Boost 8330's or the 8530's(coming out this next week) still only 60 bucks.

How did you get it done? I spoke with customer support reps at Boost and various local dealers and they all said that Sprint CDMA blackberry cannot be added to their network. Only iDen blackberry phones they said. I am quite confused now. Can anyone help me in getting this resolved?
