    So I posted my dilemma about switching characters in a different threat, which you can find at the bottom, but I do have another question which is kinda part of it, but it's an independent question that I'm kinda curious of. If I were to take a phone like say the 928 (or even the 8x) and make it work on U.S. Cellular if it makes sense on paper that it would work? I asked the saleswoman and she told me no, but I wasn't really buying that since it's kinda her job to sell phones, but (as I explain in my other thread), I would rather not go to a Samsung phone, but this isn't about that. I think I read somewhere that before T-Mobile got the iPhone, there were about a million iPhones running on their network, so obviously taking it between carriers is possible right?

    Personally, it will work, need some flashing. But then you have to find someone who can do that for you.

    Its not about flashing ROMs, its about flashing the ESN/MEID to US Cellular Database, I don't think a random person like me or you can do it :s

    Nobody will do this for you. You will not be able to use your current phone on US Cellular.
