Anyone have luck activating on Assurance Wireless? or know of any hacks to do so?

[LeetMiniWheat]

I recently qualified for assurance wireless and received a free phone. they allow swapping handsets of virgin mobile phones (since they're a subsidiary of them) but only very limited selection of them (probably for support reasons). anyone know of any way to activate my optimus V on it? any kind of hacks or something? I thought I saw someone with luck doing so awhile ago but I can't find it now. Website refuses to accept the MEID number, and phone support couldn't swap it either.

Edit: or maybe if I change the MEID to a supported device would that work?
Edit2: Sorry if discussing MEID is breaking rules, but I've hit a dead end here anyways. Seems these phones are locked down too much to swap MEID and assurance customer service refuses to let us use smartphones, only dumb phones.

Call them and ask, it may very well be that they don't allow switching phones and the "free phonee" is locked to them
