You must first start your account with a Boost CDMA phone. You can get an inexpensive one on ebay. I got one for $10. It’s not a flawless, a little beat up but it works. After you establish your account on your new Boost phone you can port your boost number to your Sprint CDMA phone. Call Customer service and tell them you want to move your service on a different phone. They will have you give them the ESN or IMEI located under the battery. The customer service agent will have you press ##3282# on your phone to begin setting up your phone. The first two reps I got had me press ##101740#. It did nothing and they said the phone must be bad. That was not the case. They were not giving me the right instructions. The third customer Rep I got knew what she was doing. ##101740# is used but later on in the setup. I hope this helps whoever wants to setup a Sprint CDMA phone on Boost. I did this for my son because he was killing my Verizon account. I am about to drop Verizon and go BOOST!

[...] a good deal anymore. Sprint’s Boost Mobile now offers its $50 unlimited data and voice plan on their CDMA 3G network. And, many are finding that they can activate any Sprint CDMA phone with relative ease… [...]

Raymond, you can now port between Sprint CDMA and Boost Mobile iDEN. That should fix the issue with UNLTD customers not being able to port in-between plans.

Although Boost has stop actively promoting CDMA plans, they’re yet to release, and have stopped sales of actual phones (e.g. Motorola W385, Krzr) So there is no way a current customer can “upgrade” or fix/repair they’re previous phone. They are directed to switch over to the new iDen, this is fine, but one small problem, they dont allow you to carry over your phone number! You must establish a new one. Its 2009, lets get it together.

That’s correct, Boost never stopped offering UNLTD CDMA plans. They simply stopped actively promoting them.

The lineup is is fixed to specific Boost-branded CDMA phones like the W385, KRZR, and other phones but the CDMA service is no longer actively promoted nor are new devices being released on Boost CDMA. This was done to ease customer complaints about unequal pricing.

Seems like thsi will cut into the Simply Everything customers.

Are we able to use any CDMA phone that we want or will they have specific phones that you pick from?

$50 bucks for everything on Sprints network is a steal!
