*228 Doesn't work
- I just got the Charge and its pretty cool but I want to be able to switch back and forth with my Fascinate. When I *228 I can reactivate my Fascinate but when I want to go back to the Charge I have to call Verizon to do this. Has anybody figured out how to avoid calling Verizon to do this?07-15-2011 02:35 PMLike 0
- I used to use *228 to update my cell towers when I used Blackberry. After I bought my Charge I was told by the Verizon support desk not to use *228 with the Charge.
So I would call VZ for their input before trying it. Just my opinion!
There was option 1 and option 2 when I dialed in with my BB. I know option 2 was to update the towers. I'm not sure if entering option 1 is still used to activate.07-15-2011 03:14 PMLike 0 - 4G *doesn't* use *228. LTE devices' SIM cards automatically update their PRL (you can force an update by restarting the device). I've heard that *228 will damage LTE devices, but I can't see how. You can switch between two LTE devices by interchanging their SIM cards (it's spookily easy). However, the SIM in your Charge is associated with a specific ESN (mobile number) in Verizon's system, which is why you have to call them whenever you want to reassociate the SIM with a new ESN. I know, because when Costco sent me my charge, they associated the SIM with the wrong ESN and I had to have them send me a new one. -.-07-15-2011 06:05 PMLike 0
