 Verizon Handsets Activation with Page Plus
Article What to expect when activating a Verizon handset on Page Plus

1. Voice and SMS works.

2. MMS will work, except MMS will NOT work for Blackberry.

3. Non-PDA handset WAP won't work. The browser needs to be manually set to the PP proxy.

4. PDA handset browsers (WM, Palm) work "out of the box" because they don't need a proxy to function.

5. Blackberry BIS BES is not supported. (But randomly, sometimes it works anyway.) Hacking is required to get the BB browser to work with regular data, or an alternate browser such as Opera Mini needs to be installed.

6. Verizon prepaid (InPulse) handsets will activate on Page Plus via OTA programming (*228). These handsets are typically subsidy locked making manual activation nearly impossible without special software tools.

7. Page Plus Brew downloads are not available. This feature will only work on some Page Plus branded handsets. Existing Brew applications installed before activating on Page Plus may continue to work.

8. Verizon services will generally not work. This includes VZ Navigator, VCast and all the other stuff you would normally access using the phones Verizon supplied web browser (downloading ringtones and games for instance). Some people have gotten VZ Navigator to work.
