Hello all, One day on YouTube I stumbled upon a video of a gentleman who had discovered you could still successfully activate a CDMA Motorola StarTAC on the Page Plus.

I don't use actual Sprint service - it's Ring Plus, which is an MVNO of Sprint with the same activation policies. I just did it online be typing in the ESN and hitting activate. I then dialed 74663#1(fn)(fn), input the MSL, put the MSID in the MIN slot, and updated the home SID for my location. That's all it took. Turns out when a phone is really old and doesn't let you enter both an MDN and MSID, the MSID alone is good enough, even if your number is non-WLNP compliant. Only issue is the phone doesn't know its own correct phone number, but that is not terribly important. I'm pretty sure analog-only phones are no longer supported.

From what I remember (and a quick search seems to confirm), on February 18, 2008, the 'Analog to Digital Transition' FCC directive went into effect and all of the wireless analog signals were shut down. That being said, Sprint's wireless history is so convoluted that I'm not 100% sure the Sprint brand ever had any analog-only devices. Sprint's various wireline and wireless services have been split enough over the years that some of them eventually merged into Alltel and thus Verizon. Harold Budd The Oak Of The Golden Dreams Rarity.
