Root Premia with Reachout Wireless?

[PotMonster]

I ended up getting the Galaxy S4 about a week ago and want to give my Premia to a Relative/Family friend, since her phone bonked out on her. She is on a fixed income and is with Reachout Wireless. As it turns out, they use CDMA and instead of buying a phone from them, you can bring your own CDMA phone as long as they fit these requirements...

1. Must be from VERIZON / PAGEPLUS / ALLTEL / US CELLULAR
2. Must NOT be a prepaid phone
3. Contract or post paid phone and MUST be DE-activated from previous provider
4. Must NOT use a sim card

LOL, the only requirement my Premia has so far is half of #3, since it's not active anymore. I'm predicting a 1% chance of this working, but it doesn't hurt to ask...

Is there any way to convert my Premia to satisfy these requirements? If not, I'm thinkin' about selling it on craigslist or in the classifieds here. Thanks in advance for any input you can give me.

I have a Premia on MetroPCS and it uses a sim card. That's the only input I've got. Good luck

The sim card is only used for 4g

I believe the 'must not use SIM card' means don't bring a GSM phone.

As long as the phone is properly deactivated you should be able to use that phone.

This is correct. It sounds like the Premia should work. I know that US Cellular and MetroPCS phones use similar if not the same radio frequencies.
