verizon/sprint to metro pcs?

[radiohead_freak]

will the Blackberry Tour 9630 work on Metro PCS if its flashed from verizon and/or sprint?

[johnpmorton]

There is no way to officially flash any Blackberry device to Metro PCS as the only way to flash "officially" is to use Houdini which does not support any RIM devices. There are some out there who are able to get Blackberry devices to work on Metro PCS, this is done by cloning an ESN from another phone onto the Blackberry, and then setting up the web browsing, mms, etc. You may be able to get mms and browsing to work, but you will NEVER have access to the Blackberry services since Metro will not recognize such a phone as a Blackberry, but rather as whatever phone provided the ESN, and since only BB esn's can be assigned the BB plan, users of flashed phones are out of luck.

Sorry but I am little bit confuse.... you said Metro use Houdini to flash phones, but how Metro activate their BB 8330 (metro brand)? Not with houdini? I really curious.

houdini is only specifically trained to target specific models any other models will be ignored

HELP please

[fatalfury]

houdiani is for outside non metro pcs phones they use houdini to flash these phones that people have at home any cdma phones within there specfication

[johnpmorton]

Houdini is a program that reprovisions phones originally intended to be used on other cdma carriers to work on Metro - Houdini is the only legitimate way to move a phone from another network to Metro (as far as Metro is concerned anyway) - Houdini does not support ANY Blackberry phones. Houdini is not needed for the MPCS 8330m because it already has the metro Settings and the ESN is a Metro ESN. Hope I have answered your questions.

I have a blackberry curve 8330 from sprint. I connected it to metro like two weeks ago so I guess it is unlocked. But I'm having problems with it. I can't only use the internet icon and the sms and mms. When I try to set up the email application it only gives me the option of set up a work email account with a blackberry enterprise sever n then ask me for an enterprise activation password. When I try to set up my email it says "a service connection is unavailable". Also, I can download applications directly from the internet but I cannot use them. Please can someone help me
