Question
I have boost mobile iDen and hear cdma is way better, but they are not making boost cdma phones anymore. I was wondering if I need the actual phone to activate cdma service, (will I need to do anything with the phone to activate it?) or if I can just get the numbers off of one from someone online, then transfer my service to a sprint phone I have (which I intend to do anyways.) Thanks!

Answer
All you need to do is to start up service with Sprint and they will provide you with everything you need. They will move your number and provide you with a new phone. You only need to go into a Sprint store or call them to do this or do it on line. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
