Question
Debi bought on e-bay an alltel diamond and i want to use it on page plus it does not program and having difficulty getting in diag mode.
Had remote squad try, gave up on me. HELP!

Answer
Unless the Diamond is unlocked and has been flashed to a PagePlus image, you will not be able to use it with PagePlus. This is a CDMA phone and will theoretically work on PagePlus's network, but since they don't sell this particular phone, it's likely that there is not an image for them that it can be flashed to. If you have used Alltel phones with Page Plus in the past, the issue may be that there is programming that would need to be done to get it to work properly. If they have tried and failed, then I'm sorry to say it is likely that you will not be able to use this device with their service plans. Did they say it would be possible? Thanks. DebiN
