Help activating phone

[Schadenfreude]

So,

I'm an idiot, let's just clear the air here first and foremost.

The long and short of it is, I purchased a CDMA phone (HTC One V) intending to replace my GSM phone (HTC Titan) but keeping the same number. I booted and unlocked the phone, and wanted to use the phone on a different CDMA service (Page Plus) than the phone was originally programmed for (Virgin Mobile).

The thing is, I requested a number and ESN port through Page Plus before activating the phone, and I'm unable to get the thing activated, either through the OTA app or by calling in. Any ideas on how to get the phone activated?

I could buy another phone for use, but:
A.) I wouldn't be able to sell this phone
B.) I'd want to keep the same phone number, which I wouldn't be able to do

Look at the wiki between posts 1 and 2. It will work with voice, text, and 1x data, but not 3g. There are links in there at the bottom for xda threads. Check those out too.

To get 3g I believe you have to have a donor verizon phone.

I read the last 2 pages on that thread and there seems to be a guy on there that is getting people 3g working for $10 via paypal. May want to link into that if you want 3g and don't find any other way.

The pageplus forum at howardforums.com also helps with flashing phones or xda-developers.

Roght; I was looking up information on XDA and couldn't find much on it - I'm currently at work but I'll try to see what I can do once I get home - thanks again!
