Old Alltel Hero...can it be changed?

Cannot switch it to Verizon, they GSM

Neither Verizon nor Alltel uses GSM, unless you count LTE, but that is obviously not the case with this handset. They both use CDMA like Sprint. :D

You cannot switch it because Verizon just does not support that handset. Like I said in my post above, you should just try to sell it and make some money off of it. ;)

It is not possible, you can roam on their networks but you cannot flash it to work on their system


You could flash it, or have someone else flash it, to the Verizon network. I flashed my Sprint HTC Hero to Cricket a few weeks ago and it's fully working. I also flashed it to Verizon (on accident - I used the wrong prl) so I say it's definitely possible.
