Well i cant edit my old post so i thought i would start a new one with a updated guide on flashing a sprint iphone 4 to page plus. Its pretty much the same process with updated steps for ios6.
Well i posted recently that i acquired a iphone flashed to page plus. Well i didnt know it was a sprint iphone and thought it was a verizon one so i restored it and was left with no data. So i went on a mission and after many hours finally figured out the right combination of settings to get it working. So i thought i would share it with everyone on here because i cant find anywhere else how to do this other than paying someone large amounts of money which i dont have. But any on how to flash it.
You must have a sprint iphone 4. Clean esn or bad esn is ok. This will not work on a verizon iphone with bad esn. Will not work on any iphone 4s. Page plus does not except bad verizon esn. You need to be jail-broken and on ios5 or ios6. This should work on any ios 6 version.
You can activate any clean esn verizon iphone 4 or 4s without flashing, just call and add esn to account then program phone.
Onto Flashing:
Need to be jailbroken use red snow which is for mac and windows
Next add this repo into cydia
cydia.cdmaelite.com
Install ComCenter Patch and Install cricket carrier bundle from repo
Next you need to download the page plus bundle attached at the bottom of this post.
Then connect your iphone to your computer and use a file browser to open files installed on your iphone (I used diskaid).
Navigate too /system/Library/Carrier Bundles/Iphone/ and open the cricket bundle folder
Now erase everything inside and replace the contents with the page plus files
Reboot your phone and the new settings should be plugged into the phone.
Now we need to program the phone so open up the Dailer
dial ##626
then 000000
Then you input your MDN and MIN in the blanks
Then dial *228 and your phone will be programmed
now dial *22890 or *22800 or *22801 and select option 2 and that inputs the new prl.
Well you should be all set with everything working. Let me know how it goes (:
As we know the ios6 jailbreak is a tethered one, which means you have to boot up from a computer every time the device is shut off, well there is a way around this, if you dont mind losing the jailbreak
all it takes is a restore back to stock from itunes, the flash remains in the settings ( the only way to erase the flash is a network settings reset) to get data working you have to turn data roaming on
You are not actually roaming it thinks its on sprint and roaming on verizon but you actually arnt.
Well i hope it works for everyone and let me know if you need any help below and success feedback as well (:

something interesting iphone 5s, iphone 5c, ipad air
I have recently noticed that when performing the bypass method to get to the homescreen of your iphone (yes the one that everyone has seen a thousand times)
That at the point where you are to make a (No Name) contact and proceed to block this contact (in order to be pushed to the homescreen), you have the option to in fact airdrop the contact onto another Iphone so I curious about this went ahead and tryed it, and i successfully sent the (No Name) contact, from the (non-activated iphone 5 that is icloud locked) to another iphone (5s) (activated). Im not sure if this can be manipulated or not (as i am not very experienced).

How To Flash A Verzion iPhone To PagePlus
You may of been searching for a while to figure this one out as it took me a bit of time to get it. Follow this guide and you will succeed. 
This requires a CDMA iPhone not GSM. Should work just fine on aiPhone 4 or 4S. However a 5 hasn't been tested.
Why should you do this? The plans are significantly cheaper than going directly through Verzion. Not to mention you are not binded to a contract. I switched from AT&T (purchased a verzion iphone first) paying 60-80$ a month that I didn't even use that much due to my inactivity. Even then AT&T wouldn't allow me to use tethering. Had to jailbreak and use My-Wi to accomplish this. Even then AT&T detected it and threw a larger data plan on my account. Which I had to call and have removed. I am now paying 12$ a month and it suites me just fine, no contract and tethering (even though I don't use it). OH!! Lets not forget about the spotty AT&T coverage and the LACK of 3G in my area. PagePlus gives me better service 3 bars vs my 1 bar before AND 3G!
The savings a year is quite significant for just my line alone doing this for your family and
! It had to be done.
The first step is rather easy. You need to check the ESN of youriPhone. This is best done using this link. After a short while or a few hours depending on there server they will send you a email. Please be sure to read it completely so that you make sense of what its saying. Now here is an example of what my email said. "The Device State is: ___AVAILABLE_FOR_USE___ (this field should NOT be blank, if it is, read below.)" Now this is the most important line in the email and it can say many different things which have been explained in the email sent to you. The device state above "AVAILABLE_FOR_USE" is rather simple to grasp, it means your device will work on the PagePlus just fine. However you may at times receive nothing on this line. If so this generally just means to re-submit the ESN check request. If your getting something else then please read your email and make sense of it. If you need help just ask.
Next step, you need to go here to get a FREE PagePlus phone number. Free PagePlus Number. Now before contining understand this is a quick and free method that will generate you a PagePlusphone number based on the zip code you provide. If you'd perfer to keep a old phone number I'd suggest using this. This is also free, however it does take time. It took me a day or so to fully port my brothers iPhone. Free Port-In. There are other methods of doing this but free is clearly the best!
Activing your iPhone is next! You need to get in service range and dail *228 then press 1 when prompted. You'll recevie a "Service Update Complete" after about one minute. Now if you click contacts (while in the phone app) it should show your new phone number at the very top. If not, restart your iphone.
Now place your first phone call. It will complete the activation. When prompted just press 1 and your done. Now after this is done yourphone is good to go. However you need to register an account and tie your phone to the account to purchase minutes or go on a monthly plan. This needs to be done here. PagePlus. Creating an account should be rather easy. AFTER you have created an account and are signed in go to this Add a Phone. From here just register your iPhone. It will send you a text message code that you will need to provide it.
All done. You may now purchase a monthly plan or do a Pay as you go deal type thing from here. Plans. If you went with a Port-In above then you should of recevied a email with a discount code. However it must be used on Kitty Wireless. Which means it will take more time.
Note: If your using a jailbroken phone here you can download a PagePlus Carrier Bundle and apply it your iPhone using Cydia. This will make it show PagePlus as your carrier in settings and at the top. It will also remove visual voicemail. As this won't work. It may also also change apn settings and such. Everything will work just fine without it so this step is not required but will make everything more proper.
Add the source "cydia.appleflasher.com" to your sources in Cydia. (without quotes)
Then install the "Commcenter Patch" and "PagePlus Carrier Bundle".
Reboot phone and your done. ;D
Note: It will add a silly looking logo at the top left, if you wish to remove this and use the normal PagePlus text just install "iFile" from Cydia. Then browse to "/var/mobile/Carrier Bundle.bundle". Delete or rename all the .png files. Optionally if you have OpenSSH install on your device just login and type cd "/var/mobile/CarrierBundle.bundle" && rm *.png
Thats all there is. Your 100% done! Enjoy your new FEATURE packed iPhone. Should you need any help just ask below. Below is a photo of the end result!
Another note, if your trying to do this using a non-verzion iPhone, then it won't work. Those devices need manual flashing. Which isn't easy to do. ;(
