Scroll down and choose TURN RADIO OFF
Switch preffered network to CDMA AUTO (PRL)
Turn radio back ON
3G should be working, internet and mms should work fine

If you go to settings and about phone your number, min and prl will show properly.

If by any reason you turn your phone off you need to do activation process again
If after doing all of this you still get no 3G you need to reset your ESN on the network, you can do this by calling PPCS and ask them to please reset ESN because your having internet issues (keep phone off during process very important) or if you are PP Dealer change ESN to another phone, wait couple of minutes, change it back to Razr and do activation process (again make sure razr is off while you do esn changes and dont turn back on until changes are complete done, if you can wait 2 minutes after change before turn phone back on).
If after ESN reset you can't get 3G because phone network in *#*#4636#*#* is stuck in eHRPD leave it overnight in CDMA ONLY, next day try to toggle back to CDMA AUTO PRL.

Could I use this same tutorial to change to Virgin Mobile? I have a Samsung Intercept for Virgin Mobile with a dead touch screen I can swap ESN's with? Would anything be different than this guide?

Not sure. Im almost postive you cant wipe your sim card. I know one thing tho. That "julia0820" chick should pay me for the business im supplying her with. That was the only place I could find Verizon sims.

Not sure about other service providers. Im brave enough to try it, but I dont have a T-Mobile phone.

Not sure if you can do that one. But don't let me stop you! :p

Ok, I figured I would go for pageplus, I do not have a pageplus phone number or anything yet.. but I'm stuck on the tapping four corners to bypass activation. On welcome screen I pull down notification, go to settings, turn on airplane mode, go back to welcome, tap four corners, nothing happens, wait awhile still nothing.. tap all four corners again, still nothing.. and I am tapping top left first then going clockwise.

ok nevermind, got it, have to stay in about .75" on each corner..

Just figured i'd update.

Got my blank sim card in the mail did this process almost everything went smooth. For people who don't have the full version of cdma workshop. You will need to dl CDMA Tool DFS software. to change the Evdo revision protocols. other than that everything went perfect 3g mms etc.
