In this instructable I'm going to teach you how to flash any Verizon phone to PagePlus quickly and easily.
This doesn't require editing files, connecting your phone to your computer or looking up strange numbers, and can be done by nearly anyone.

Once you have finished, power your
phone off and then back on.
However, these instructions do work for all other Verizon phones (3G) (which is currently most of their phones), and the older Verizon branded blackberries.
By paying the $7 to Kitty Wireless you're activating your phone, your account, and linking the phone's ESN to your account in Pageplus's (and Verizon's) database, so when you dial *228 on your phone to access Verizon Programming, it knows you're actually using it on PagePlus, and it will flash it over the air accordingly.
If you're using a different CDMA phone, you have to manually change the PRL file on the phone, which is beyond the scope of this particular instructable.
Just complete this process, then program your phone once your port is confirmed.
It will work fine because the only part of Verizon being used is the towers and Programming system, not Verizon directly.
What would be th difference in using the Pageplus Site directly ? it's $25 cheaper when porting the number and activating the phone ?
If you're just activating without porting it's cheaper to go through Kitty Wireless because you not only save $3 for activation you also get $2 free credit to start.
When I wrote this instructable they still charged for port-ins on the PP website, I guess they've changed it since.
Good luck, and thanks for the info, I'll go ahead and put that in the instructions.

If that doesn't work you should probably do some searching on Howard Forums, they seem to have an answer for anything related to this. I've never had or used a LG Chocolate Touch so I don't really know what else to tell you, but if you find anything out let me know!
