Not sure what to tell you, in the past with Alltel if you wanted to do some hacking you could get VZW phones on their system by telling them it was a different phone, so in theory since both made by HTC, the meid of a dinc might be close enough to fool them. Buy one outright, claim its a hero and get them to add. Most likely voice and text will work then you get to research and jump through hoops for data and mms.
