Install Samsung Android SPC Utility (apk provided) and press “Read SPC” – write this down.Enable “Install apps from unknown sources” in the security settings.Then go to it (Settings –> Development) and make sure Enable USB Debugging is checked. For 3G data (upload / download speeds >1mbps, ping About Phone –> Tap “Build Number” 7 times to enable the development menu.This will require some googling on your part. The verizon model of the same phone however often requires one. For the Sprint Note 3 that I used, a SIM card was unnecessary. Furthermore, that SIM card may or may not need to be from Verizon, and it may or may not matter whether it has already been activated. For the SID, you need to call PagePlus at 80.
You’ll need the following: Phone # (MDN), MIN (MSID), and SID. Wait for the order confirmation email.Should end up being 14 digits instead of 15. Make sure to supply the MEID correctly when your register your device – you need to remove the last digit (because it is 4G capable) for the order to go through.This club is only offered at select times during the year, and costs a one-time fee of $100 to join. I’m also a member of the Level 2 “Crazy Kitty PIN Rebate Club ” which gives a discounted rate on plans – $26.97/mo vs $29.99/mo – it adds up over time, especially with multiple lines. I chose to go through Kitty Wireless, an authorized dealer, as they will take care of monthly billing with the 1200 Plan. If all the HA, AAA, MEID, PRL, MSL, SPC jargon is confusing you, check out the end of this post. For instance, you may get away using different Radios, PRLs and donor phones than I used. There are many variables at play here, and some steps may vary by phone, but the overall process should be accurate. While this guide follows my adventure with the Note 3, I am trying to make it as generic as possible for flashing any Qualcomm-based phone (Note 1/2/3, S1,S2,S3,S4, HTC One etc…) to PagePlus using DFS. I made away like a bandit, getting this flagship phone for half its MSRP and nearly the same price as phone subsidized on a 2-year contract. I took a chance on a used Sprint Note 3 with a bad ESN (doesn’t matter if flashing it to verizon) and a “Locked SIM.” A few dings around the bezel (but not a scratch on the screen) only sweetened the deal further. Fortunately, PagePlus users tend to be frugal, and I’m no exception. The Samsung Note 3 is currently the best specced phone available running Android. Now that it’s pushing 3 years old, retirement is all too gentle a fate. Even when released, it was the result of a 3-way compromise between Google, Samsung and Verizon with the loser being the customer. Then it finally hit me: the galaxy nexus is a piece of crap. After finally getting my Galaxy Nexus flashed to PagePlus and up and running with 3G data, I thought I’d be set for a while.
