If you're using the 6255i on Verizon, I don't suppose there's any chance you can compare it's reception to that of the Motorola v265 or v710?

What do these numbers mean to a commoner such as myself? Is the 6255i slightly/significantly better or worse then the V710 in reception?

It gets a little better reception than the 3589i which is supposed to be as good as the v265/v710.

The strange part of this is most VZW people that are buying this phone are getting it from Cellular South. They should be getting it from MidWest Wireless since there features are closer to the same as VZW. 😕

you will need to change the splock if any to a default of 6 zeros, then register and log on to my account on VZW.com go to manage accounts, and change phone esn to new esn. then after five minutes, press *228 and follow prompts to program phone, then dial it again to update PRL
