I am still waiting for VZW's new XV6800...
I got to play with an Alltel 6800. All black and just like the Mogul. NIIIICE!
Is there any way to get one of these to work on VZW's network? I am tied to this network and really like Alltel's version of this PPC phone.

Alltel to VZW
If Verizon will activate the ESN (check the ESN of any phone you intend to purchase to make sure it hasn't been submitted for an insurance claim), then it's just a matter of re-provisioning (programming) the handset to use with Verizon. Since Alltel doesn't use MSL (Master Subsidy Lock) for their devices, they are easily configured for other carriers.
With a bit of research and time, this is easily accomplished. The transition isn't as simple as that of GSM devices, but not daunting in the slightest. Feel free to PM with any questions you might have.
Cheers,

Extended Rom
Mick,
By any chance if possible, you can extract the Extended_Rom from your phone and post it here? I have Sprint and want to play around with the Extended_Rom of the Alltel PPC6800.
Thanks
Hey guys,
I am looking to answer a few questions for a friend.
He has Alltel service and wants to purchase Alltel's version of the 6800.
Would he be able to buy the Sprint version, since both carriers are CDMA?
I have no clue about CDMA, I only use GSM carriers.
I see the prices of the Alltel verion are rediculous on eBay.
Thanks for the help
The Alltel version is pricier...I think because the Alltel cliental is not as nearly extensive as Sprint's. CDMA is a newer digital carrier service used only in the USA and Canada I think. GSM is older but used here and Europe.
As for carrier service, I would imagine there is away to get a Mogul to work on Alltel service since they are both CDMA and even Verizon is now allowing other CDMA carrier's phones on their network. I saw some posts about transferring phones with ESN, etc. Do a little more searching. You will find the answer.
Sprint Mogul on Alltel
You can use any version of the 6800 on Alltel... I've used both a Sprint Mogul and a Telus P4000 (Canadian) successfully. I still use the Telus P4000 as a backup to my Alltel 6800.
The easiest way to accomplish using another carrier's device is to use the hard SPL (bootloader) here on XDA-Developers and then you can load the Alltel ROM to whichever version of the device you have. That's exactly what I did to my P4000...
The only consideration to affecting this change is that Sprint uses MSL's (Master Subsidy Lock) on their phones. You'll need to know the MSL to update the PRL (Preferred Radio/Roaming List) because a non-Alltel device will not update OTA (Over The Air). Verizon and Alltel (verify Verizon for yourself, I'm only sure about Alltel) don't use MSL's, their MSL is always set to six zero's... so a Verizon 6800 is the easier switch as both Telus and Sprint use MSL's for their handsets.
Good luck...

How in the heII did you get them to accept your non-Alltel phones??? Do you have a friend at Alltel? I couldn't get them to activate my old Sprint 6700 on my wifes Alltel line for ANYTHING! I'll bet I called 25 times trying to get it done (sometimes if you just get the right CSM they'll do anything for you). I even talked to tech support and told them that I had flased the Alltel ROM to the phone so that it was essentially an Alltel phone.
You must be good...
How to activate another carriers phone
Call them and dont tell them its not an alltel phone simply state you have a 6700 or 6800 to activate and there will be no questions or issues activating the phones, of course you will need to have the rom already updated as they will try to get you to ota activate the phone or manually program and they wont know the msl code and if you mention anything about it, then they will know its not an alltel phone also you can download alltel's version of wm6 for the 6700 and 6800 at this site without any bootloader tool.

Its not really made for the 6700 but I have tested and worked fine on mutiple 6700s.

Thats really good to know. It seems reasonable that if they tell you something like they cant locate the phone in your system,tell them that that is impossible. The phone after all came in a alltel, has alltel logos on it etc. =) That chad guy from the commercial even came over and personally verified it.
I have a verizon treo 700w and sprint 700wx, I want to use the 700wx but with verizon, and of course verizon wont allow a phone from another network. I removed the esn chip from the 700w and put it in the 700wx. and the phone functions properly except the rom is from sprint with all their programs and what not, and palm wont let me load the verizon rom with their update program. How can i get the rom off my 700w and load it on my 700wx?

Titan and Mogul 6800 exact same phone and software? just sprint/cingular right?
Software might be a bit different, but yes same phone.
Well aparently I have to type more than 10 letters for me to beable to send the message lol,
THANK'S! lol..
I still have a problem if any one is still looking at this thread,

any phone on cingular/att will be quite different from a sprint phone, as sprint is cdma and cingilar/att is gsm
you are probably thinking of the Tytn or Tytn II (tilt) rather than the Titan, as those are on att
the 6800/Titan is the same as the verizonn xv6800 telus p4000, and possibly another one on alltel
Yeah it's the PPC6800 on the alltel network.
is there a possible way to get it?
