![]() I recently think about using page plus as my backup cell phone plan. The reasons are 1. The coverage of verizon network coverage. ![]() The newly rolled out $80 for 2000 minutes last a year plan. Something I worry about: Page plus sub-hell customer services and their unstable/inaccurate billing system. Finally decide to give it a try. The phone I picked is a Palm Pre. Here is the procedures to use a Palm Pre with page plus standard plan. Most of the work is to setup the phone. I bought my Palm Pre off craigslist for $60. Right after the deal, I bought a page plus activation off ebay from kittywireless. Their hard work and awesome customer service helped my stay away from page plus customer service daemons. Kitty activated my phone really quick and sent me the procedure for me to do on my phone in less than an hour. Note: This site was designed with Cascading Stylesheets for layout & design. You are seeing this note either because those Stylesheets didn't reach your machine. Sprint will not activate the Palm Pre on the Sero Plan! You'll have purchase the 'Simply Everything' Plan! It sucks that dedicated customers like us can't use it on. ![]() To activate the phone line: • Tap the right low corner of the screen. Choose “Emergency Call”, so I can dial a number out. The “Customer Service” call won’t allow me to modify the number to dial. • Revmove the 911 number, and put the number sent from kitty. It’s *22890 or *228. *22890 should program the phone automatically. • If the phone shows ‘connecting’ but no ‘connected’ for long time, hangup and wait for at least 15 minutes. • Repeat step 2. • Now the Palm Pre is activated. Because my standard pageplus plan does not provide data access, now the issue is to bypass the palm profile setup on the phone (Palm Activation). If you have data from page plus, you can go ahead setup your palm profile. • Download Palm WebDoctor from. • Download PlamOS Quick Install from. • Download the activation bypass tool from palm. • Run the PalmOS Quick Install first. It will take care of the driver problem on Windows XP. • Run WebDoctor, see if it can see the Palm Pre, even in recovery mode. • Follow the procedure to put the phone in recovery mode, and run the activation bypass tool as ‘java -jar devicetool.jar’. For details, read the bypass the activation. • Run WebOSQuickInstall. Search for Preware and install it. Since I bypassed the phone activation and ended up no palm profile, I cannot use the app catalog and updates. With Preware, I can install apps and updates. • I am ready to go. • Extra works: • Google weatherman, see if you can find a free ipkg copy of their old verion. The newer 2.1 one costs only $1.99. • Install facebook beta 1.5 from Preware. On the first run, Plam Pre sync with all facebook contacts. • Install InternalZ from Preware. • Install Dr. Battery from Preware. • Sync my google account with my Palm Pre. Hallo, I disconnected defective palm 755 p and activate Palm Pre Plus. After I remove the 911 and put the number sent from Pages Plus the phone wont sing in: “ Use the email address and password to created profile. I can call any phone when I choose remove Emergency Call and put phone when I wish to call. But nobody can ring to me. On procedure above I stop on point 3. I can not take a file. When I took from different side, then I stopped in point 5. ( Checking system Novacomd Connect your phone directly with your USB cable. Do not remove the battery or disconnect your phone during this process. ) How I can created my profile and password or skip it I have not to application the theses of access in telephone. I ask about help. There is an easy way and the way I posted. The easy way to contact the dealer you used. They should activate the data service for you, so you can setup the profile. If you stopped at step 3, that means your phone was not ready yet. You may have to wait for awhile and try dial *22890 again. On my case, I waited about 2 hours to get the *22890 passed through. I would not recommend you try “the other way”. It’s kind of risky, and you may brick your phone. However, if you really want to try it. You may have to put your phone into recovery mode. This tip is only for devices running webOS 1.x. (This will not work on webOS 2.x devices,; we will have a separate 2.x tip in the near future) When you activate a webOS 1.x device, the first thing the phone does is search for a cellular signal or SIM card (for GSM phones). Even if you have an active Wi-Fi connection available, if it is not an active device on your cellular account you will not be able to do much more than just turn the phone on. If your phone is a GSM device and you have a friend with an active SIM card, you should see if you could borrow it to activate your device. Once activated, just take out the SIM card out and the device will run just fine. Otherwise, there is a developer tool available that will allow you to bypass the activation requirements, thus allowing you to use your phone as a Wi-Fi only device. Unfortunately, there are a number of limitations of developing on an Unactivated Devices. You are unable to log in to a Palm Profile, access the App Catalog, get any OTA webOS updates, or use the Phone or SMS functionality. Here comes Homebrew to the rescue! Specifically, developer Arthur Thornton to the rescue! He has created a patch that will allow you to create or login to a Palm profile on a activation-bypassed device, thus removing all the limitations above with the exception of providing Phone/SMS functionality. Continue reading after the break to learn how to bypass the activation and then log in to your profile. To bypass activation: • Visit on the webOS Developer Center website • Under the section 'Running the Activation-Bypass Tool', download the activation-bypass tool (direct link ) to your computer • Follow the directions a little earlier on that page to boot your device into recovery mode • Once in recovery mode, run the activation-bypass tool from the command line by issuing the following command: 'java -jar devicetool.jar'. (for example, to access the command line on a Windows PC, press the 'Start' button, choose 'Run' and type 'cmd'. Navigate to the directory you saved the bypass tool.) • The device will reboot. • Once the device boots, it will already be in developer mode. Just activate Wi-Fi and the device will be ready to use, subject to the limitations of non-activation. To log in to an existing Palm Profile (or to create a new one): • If you haven't already, activate the Wi-Fi on your device and log in to a Wi-Fi network • Plug in your device to a computer and select 'Just Charge'. • It should already be in developer mode, so all you need to do is load up webOS Quick Install and tap on the 'feeds' button (the bottom button on the right-hand side). Select patches and do a search for the 'Enable Profile Creation - Activation Bypassed' patch. Install the patch (it if asks you to install other dependant patches, install those, too) • Then do a search for the 'Show FirstUse App' patch and install that patch, too. • • Once the phone is back up, you should see a new app called 'First Use'. Open that app and follow the steps to log in or create a new profile. • At the end of the process, you will get to a screen saying 'Setup Complete' with a standard webOS spinning progress circle. Manually again. • When the phone comes back up, you will have full access to the device, the App Catalog, and everything else that does not require a cellular connection or phone number. Unfortunately, none of your apps will be automatically re-downloaded from the App Catalog if you are using an existing Profile. You can still go into the App Catalog and download them all for free, as your Palm Profile will have a record of all your app purchases. Otherwise, if you need help restoring from a previous device, be sure to check out our before resetting your device and logging in to your profile.
