Programing I just bought a verizon lg chocolate vx8500 on ebay, it is brand new. when ... flashed to cricket a lg vx8500 but the programing code 000000 dont work

Yes that has happen to my lg dare! it has to be flashed again! take it to a local verizon store and ask them can you flash you phone, it should be free of charge!
it make take 30 mins or so, but after that you should be on your way back to texting!!! lol 8-)

use the last 4 digits of your phone number. It worked for me.

menu 0 + spc ( verizon spc 000000 metro 587846)

CDMA cell phones generally cannot be used on any other network than the one that the ESN is programmed to. For example, Cricket ESNs can only be used on cricket, Verizon ESNs, can only be used on verizon... It doesn't matter if you change the firmware or not, many other service providers will not accept another service provider's ESN.

the phone needs to be unlock, you can go to a mobile service center and have them unlock the phone for you....or call the person that mailed the phone to you and ask what provider the phone works with then go to mobile2mobile.net and unlock the phone nline for a small fee.

best to buy a new phone...you can try and take it to a mobile service center and see if reflashing it would correct it

Uh .. LG 8500's were only issued for Verizon wireless. Therefore Cricket may not run as it's provider. Have you called Cricket to ask if this phone is a phone they can offer service to??
