Verizon Phone Activation?

i have 3 questions concerning a phone.



1) My friend is giving me his old verizon phone. He switched phone companies so hes not using it. Will i be able to activate his phone? or will it be locked because he cancelled the plan?



2) If i do get the phone, how do i step by step change from my current phone to the new phone? Something about esn or something%26gt;?Verizon Phone Activation?
You will be able to use his phone, and it's simple to activate it on your account.



Simply just call Verizon from another phone, and give them your account information, and you will have to give them the ESN code (which is locateed usually on the battery or back of the phone) and then program it using their steps. Or you could go online and sign on your account, and click activate a new phone.



Hope this helps!

ESN Exchange with verizon?

ummm a while back someone answered my question about how i can use a different phone on verizon by getting a number from my battery and creating an account on verizon and changing the type of phone i have. trouble is,theres three sets of numbers on the back of the battery: HEX, DPQ, and S/N. which numbers am i supposed to use to switch phones?ive never done this before so any help would be greatly appreciated...ESN Exchange with verizon?
You would need to use the HEX number.



I suppose this is the question your refering to: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;

What do I have to do to my phone to sell it on ebay. There is an unpaid bill on the account, can I still sell?

My husband and I signed up for service with US Cellular about 9 months ago. We received the first two-three bills with no problems. The next bill came in and had charges for around $600-700 on it. (We were supposed to have free mobile to mobile and it charged us for that) We called customer service and they told us everything was correct, even though nothing was different from the previous months to make our bill change. We couldn't pay the bill all at once, and we asked what we could do. The service manager said that we had to or our service would be terminated. That was fine with us as we didn't want service with US Cellular any longer with bills like that, and we haven't received any bills from them since.



-Anyway, my question is: Now that we don't have service, I want to sell my Motorola V3c on ebay and I've been reading about the ESN and that it reports that there is an unpaid bill. How can I check this and is there any way to clear it. My phone does not have a sim cardWhat do I have to do to my phone to sell it on ebay. There is an unpaid bill on the account, can I still sell?
I know this is the case with Sprint, and it is probably the case with US Cellular. If there is an unpaid account balance attached to the ESN, the phone cannot be activated. I would not sell this phone on Ebay without confirming this with US Cellular.



People are giving you the wrong answers here. Let me be clear. I worked as a cell phone tech for years and I know the cell phone business. Most carriers won't let you activate a phone that is tied to an account that still owes a balance. This is why many Ebayers advertise their phones with the phrase %26quot;The ESN is free to be activated.%26quot; ESN's can be dummied out if they are either a.)reported stolen or b.) tied to a collection or past due account.What do I have to do to my phone to sell it on ebay. There is an unpaid bill on the account, can I still sell?
its not GSM so you're screwedWhat do I have to do to my phone to sell it on ebay. There is an unpaid bill on the account, can I still sell?
Sure you can sell it. Phone will be reprogrammed when the new owner gets service for it.What do I have to do to my phone to sell it on ebay. There is an unpaid bill on the account, can I still sell?
The new user will get their own subscription, so it won't matter what the status of yours is.



In your case you will need to make sure to mention that it is a US Cellular phone. Since US Cellular is not a major carrier, you will have a limited market.



Make sure you delete all personal info from the phone, like the phonebook or contacts list, etc.



PS: Mobile-to-mobile calling means only to other customers of the same company. In case you didn't know that.What do I have to do to my phone to sell it on ebay. There is an unpaid bill on the account, can I still sell?
it is legal to sell it however they will shut off the service and shortly after they will DEACTIVATE the phone. it is unique to your number and as a delinquent account holder they will deactivate the phone permanently



i would consider it unethical to sell on ebay

I found a website with decent quality cell phones but?

Working for one of the top Ev-DO networks, I want to know how i can place it on my network as our system is strategically set up to deny phones we did not manufacture or licence to manufacture. It has the band length GSM 1900 MHZ so it is technically compatible. But if I were to enter in the ESN into my System I garuntee it would be denied. How would I go about placing it on %26quot;The Network%26quot;



If it involves manually changing the ESN, I know it is illegal to change an ESN but for educational porposes would this be what needs to be done?? If so how for this device

    How can i deactivate my stolen cell phone thru it's ESN number?

    Had a nokia 5610 cell (t-mobile) that was stolen. it's ESN number is 359303020342403. I'm pretty sure who ever stole it will most likely change the sim card. does anyone know how i can deactivate it via the ESN number? I have heard that this CAN be done, and that not every customer service rep you speak to will even know about this.



    I am pissed off that my cell phone's stolen. I am even more pissed that someone can actually get away with this! please help...How can i deactivate my stolen cell phone thru it%26039;s ESN number?
    Just drop t-mobile a call and they will gladly advise you on such matter. If the customer service can't help you, do ask them to suggest a personal of higher authority you can contact or simple transfer the call to. They may probably refer you to the vendor/manufacturer aka nokia.



    Following is an article on ESN, personally i do not think that we can disable it on user's end.How can i deactivate my stolen cell phone thru it%26039;s ESN number?
    Because it was stolen, the criminals might be using it to conduct criminal business, you absolutely must get a police report in.



    You have to report the theft to t-mobile to halt all charges.



    I'm sure you have done this by now.



    Report the phone and its ESN as stolen to the police for a police report and to the t-mobile cellular carrier, the carrier should report that ESN nationwide so all cell services in the US recognize it, and if it is used in the US, it can be traced. With no legitimate account, the cell network should refuse to complete calls.



    But whoever stole it might ship it out of country to Mexico or Europe or Asia ... the international use of cell phones might mean the ESN will be recognized outside the US and unless your account with that phone is closed, it will get hit with charges. Outside the US the cell might be permitted to begin a call until the network operators find out the phone was stolen and they flag the ESN as not allowable.

    .How can i deactivate my stolen cell phone thru it%26039;s ESN number?
    Get rid of it and get a phone from a reputable provider. It is not

    worth it to screw around with stolen merchandise. Consider this

    an expensive lesson learned. Good Luck.



    MikeHow can i deactivate my stolen cell phone thru it%26039;s ESN number?
    Just notify T-Mobile that you lost it. They will brick it for you.



    In the unlikely event that you find it or get it back, just toss it. Once bricked it cannot be unbricked, even by T-Mobile.

    How to clear ESN on a cell phone?

    I bought a phone with a %26quot;bad ESN%26quot; meaning there is money owed on it but I just want it cleared or changed and I have no idea how to do it/How to clear ESN on a cell phone?
    You have been scammed! The seller either stole it or found a phone that the previous owner on the account reported stolen.



    Get your money back!



    There is no way to clear ESN and use it on another provider in Canada. Telus and Bell have a list of all ESN's and the ones blocked are blocked forever unless the owners of the original handset call in %26quot;found%26quot;.

    How do I find out the ESN number for my verizon wireless LG phone?

    I got this in an e-mail, but the number it says to dial doesn't work...



    There is a simple way of making lost or stolen mobiles useless to thieves and the phone companies know about it, but keep it quiet.



    To check your mobile phone's serial number, key in the following on your phone: star-pound-zero-six-pound (* 0 6 ) and a fifteen digit code will appear on the screen. This is unique to your handset and is known as the Electronic Serial Number (ESN). Write it down and keep it safe. Should your mobile phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset, so even if the thief changes the sim card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.



    If everybody did this, there would be no point in stealing mobile phones - May want to send this to as many people with mobiles as possible.How do I find out the ESN number for my verizon wireless LG phone?

    How do a cahnge my ESN (or Electronic Serial Number) on the Verizon Wireless My Account site?

    I cant see that section to change it anywhere

    We have 2 phones on our account, and i want to switch the s between the two. I hear you can do that onlineHow do a cahnge my ESN (or Electronic Serial Number) on the Verizon Wireless My Account site?
    If the phones are already upon the account, then you wont be able to do so since while doing the change (flip/flop) duplicate esn will appear upon 2 lines.



    My account will not allow this to happen. A customer service rep willl need to intervene unless you have a 3rd phone to serve as a place holder to avoid this scenario.



    Example: phone A has a chocolate, phone B has a razor, you want phone A to have razor %26amp; B to have a chocolate.



    Whichever you choose to switch first A or B, then the change will cause either the chocolate or razor to appear upon 2 phone lines at once.



    Call customer service %26amp; see if they will work with you to avoid the $20 per handset change fee.

How do the eBay sellers put service for people, avoiding the $15 ESN change cost?How to switch CDMA phones?
    I have never heard of a fee for changing over your phone. The people on ebay are lying to you. I have switched over more than 5 different CDMA phones over the last couple of years and have never paid a dime to do it. As long as your account with your current provider is in good standing you won't be charged for activating a new phone. If you purchase a new phone just call customer service and have them activate it for you, no problems.How to switch CDMA phones?
    Don't fall for that eBay scam. Just call your customer service or go to your provider store and they will activate the new one.



    You can't change them constantly like GSM sorry.

    Why was this person so rude???

    My co-worker sold a blackberry curve on an upgrade about 6 days ago. She sold it to her at her normal NE2 pricing. The woman took her phone to Chicago and claimed she was %26quot;dropping calls right and left%26quot; and wanted to return it. She came into my store last night (right as I was closing, naturally) and started to *****. %26quot;My friend got this phone for FREE at corporate. I know you're a privately owned business, and you can charge WHATEVER you want, but I'm going to see to it no one i KNOW comes here%26quot; So, after she said this, I polite asked, %26quot;So you'd like to return this phone?%26quot; and she looked at me like I was stupid and said %26quot;well, yeah. I already talked to Verizon, their sending me another phone, I want my money back that YOU over charged me for.



    %26quot;

    To clarify this, yes, she was overcharged. BlackBerry's right now are eligible for an additional 100 dollars off. I suppose my co-worker forgot this. I tried to explain, %26quot;we could switch out the phone and I could call and make sure it's ok to give you the additional data discount.



    %26quot;



    %26quot;I KNOW I can get this phone for free. I know she overcharged me. Look at the receipt%26quot; She replied.







    %26quot;I know, I'm agreeing with you. Would you like for me to get you another one?%26quot; I asked.







    %26quot;No, I am NOT buying it from here. I already talked to Verizon and told them EVERYTHING.



    %26quot;



    I asked her if they canceled her upgrade, and she said yes they took care of everything. I really doubt that, but there is not arguing with the wireless aficionado.







    This wasn't even my activation. So I started to look through her box, at the box and the contents to make sure everything was intact. I opened the phone to check the batt for water damage, and she was starting at me and said %26quot;WHAT are you looking at that for? I worked in WIRELESS for 15 years and there isn't a THING wrong with that phone.%26quot; I gave her a disgusted look, set the phone down, and proceeded with the return.







    She worked in wireless when phones were analog, weighed over 36 oz, were made by Startac or Nokia, before li-on batteries, intennas, and obviously, good customer service existed.







    On a side note, when someone says %26quot;I worked in wireless%26quot; in a bitchy tone, my first inclination would be two things:



    1)Why don't you understand why I'm checking the battery if you worked in wireless?



    2.



    ) Why are you treating me the same way people treated you back when their Zack Morris bag phone broke?



    I bit my tounge, stored up the curse words.







    Anyway, I get to the point to give her her refund, and she can't find the credit card so bought the phone with. So, this immediately becomes my fault, apparently I should have her credit card information on file. She finds it (it's thrown in her purse in a flustered fashion) Then, I asked her what phone she is going to use on her account until her new phone comes in. She said %26quot;I don't want YOU to TOUCH my account.



    %26quot;



    I said %26quot;You have to have a new ESN (got technical because she's obviously the wireless expert) on your account beacuse I'm taking this phone back. We could place a dummy esn on your account or reactivate an old phone of yours because this blackberry is going to remain active until you do. I could call verizon to get the esn for your Treo you have before...%26quot;



    Again..



    %26quot;I don't want you to TOUCH my account, I don't trust YOU PEOPLE.



    %26quot;



    So she grabbed the curve she returned (you know, the one that was dropping calls) and called Verizon CS, says she is in the store she bought her curve, makes them listen to the HORRIBLE experience she had with us, and proceeded to do an ESN change that would've taken me 30 seconds.









    Than after she hung up with them, she asked me how to do a master reset. I told her I wasn't quite sure, but I'd call and get directions.









    Her mumbled reply to this was %26quot;of course you don't know, ha%26quot; and she started to pace around. I got it reset, and was extremely happy and polite to the guy on the phone.







    I believe he asked %26quot;Beautiful weather today! Have you been able to enjoy it?%26quot; and I said something like %26quot;Nope, I've been inside for the past 9 and 1/2 hours!%26quot;



    After I finished the master reset, she wanted to MAKE SURE all the contacts and phone logs had been deleted. Ehh...I should've just told her to do it herself because I'm incapable.







    As she was leaving she attempted an apology, but just turned around to being more of a *****. She said %26quot; you really need to learn to train your employees, have normal pricing, and not quote the REAL verizons prices.



    %26quot;



    My co-worker and I are a strong believer is saying %26quot;I don't know%26quot; what their pricing is....



    This lady almost made me cry with her total degradation of me, my store, my co worker, and the business I've given my life to 1 1/2 yrs.







    She kept claiming she was at my co workers MERCY, she had to board a flight to Chicago in less than 12 hours! As she was doing her activation she was telling Kerri she could get the phone for free at corporate.







    My question is %26quot;then why the hell didn't you just go to corporate in the first place you crazy *****?!%26quot;



    I hate stupid people, and I hope she gets hit by a bus.Why was this person so rude???
    just because she was a crazy ****** it doesn't constitute wanted her to get hit with a bus. Karma will come and bite her in the @$$



    I will give you props for being polite to her despite her rudeness. Most people would have curse her out on the spot. don't let people like her get to you.Why was this person so rude???
    That stinks.... that really stinks...... u must H A T E that...... she must be so annoying and dumb.... she should get hit by a bus...... and sorry about you had to go through that really stinksWhy was this person so rude???
    unfortunately we live in a world where every one is stressed. bible describes it as :



    Timothy 3:1-17

    1 But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God,



    these days are very rough on everyone and some people just don't know how to cope with it so they lash out to whom ever they feel like. don't feel sad or angry over her but rather have pity and understanding and be happy that you showed her the respect and professionalism this shows that you are a mature person who knows how to handle her business. if i was someone passing by this event would actually promote me to buy from you. if you were courteous with this person i can but imagine what you would be like with a good customer :)

    Help with ESN number?

    I currently have an LG Voyager from Telus on a 3 year contract. I still have about 2 years left.



    If I buy an unlocked Blackberry Tour, can I changed the esn number to be the same as my Voyager, so I can use both? Would that even work? (and HOW would that work)



    This is pretty random... I am not even fully thinking it through - just kind of wondering.



    My sister uses Rogers and they have sim cards; so she uses 3 different phones with one sim card. Telus does not have sim cards though.Help with ESN number?
    I don't have Telus, but I do have Verizon (both CDMA networks). Each phone will have a unique ESN. Therefore, only one phone's ESN can be linked to your account at a time. Be careful too if you decide to change to a Blackberry. If Telus is like Verizon, you will have to subscribe to a Blackberry data plan + your standard phone plan just to use a Blackberry device.



    SIM cards are generally used on GSM networks and since the sim card contains all the user information, they can be easily changed from phone to phone without any problems.Help with ESN number?
    it depends. try calling *228 from the phone. if it goes to an activation menu it mite let you change the phone from there. otherwise, contact your carrier.

    You can't do it. One, Sprint and Verizon use different frequencies so it's not compatible. Also, Sprint doesn't allow any devices on their network that doesn't belong to them.

    HOW CAN I GET A DIFFERENT ESN NUMBEr??

    I purchased a phone from my next door neighbor. Its a Sprint brand new model. She didn't activate the phones because her husband was being assigned to Japan. So in need of a new phone I purchased the phone. I called to do an ESN swap, but the lady from Sprint told me the ESN number to the phone was reported as fraudulent. How can I get them to activate the phone, swap it, or change the ESN number??



    PLEASE HELP!!HOW CAN I GET A DIFFERENT ESN NUMBEr??
    ESN stands for Electronic Serial Number. You cannot change an ESN within a phone. It is the eletronic %26quot;fingerprint%26quot; of the phone and cannot be removed, changed or tampered with, or the phone will not work. It is similar to the VIN on a car - it stays with the phone for the life of the phone.



    There are a couple of situations where an ESN will be placed on a fraud list: the phone is reported stolen from the point of sale, the phone is reported lost or stolen by the rightful owner, or the ESN is picked up by the cell carriers Fraud Detection department as being used inappropriately to make calls for free.



    You need to ask your neighbor where she got the phone and if she or her husband ever called to suspend the service on the phone. The ESN could be unblocked by your carrier if you can prove the phone was NOT stolen or reported lost then replaced fraudulently using the phone insurance.



    A change of phone number will not help in this instance, either, because the block is for the phone, not the phone number.



    It's unlikely that you are going to be able to activate this phone. It's also very unlikely they will exchange the phone since you did not purchase it at an authorized dealer. Phone exchanges cost cell carriers lots of money, so if by some remote chance you get them to agree to it, be prepared to extend your contract by at least 2 years as they try to recoup the cost of the phone they are sending you.

    Most prepay plans out there have a 60 day maximum on how long you can be out of minutes or from the expiration date so if you are sure that you are within 60 days then something may be wrong w/ the phone itself. If over 60 days then you may have lost your old prepay phone number. If this is the case then you will need to call your prepay provider's toll free number to have any minutes you bought put onto the new phone number that they will give you over the phone.

    If it is a phone problem and you have another phone that will work with that same prepay provider then you just need to call the provider and ask them to do an esn change. Be sure to call from a landline though so that they can talk you through some troubleshooting if needed.

    How do I change the ESN Number of a Verizon phone to work in a Metro PCS Database?

    Here's the deal.. My roomate gave me his old Verizon Wireless V3M Razr phone. I have service with Metro PCS, and I was able to download the correct program and the Monster file to flash the phone from VZW to MPCS, however when I called MPCS to activate the phone, they told me that the ESN was not entering in their database. However the phone is completely flashed over to their network, all of the settings and everything. It's a Metro PCS Razr phone, I used to have one. I went to the service center in person and they said the same thing. Is there anything I can do that can fix this problem? Without having to pay the $47 fee for them to do it for me and limit me to text messaging and talk only?How do I change the ESN Number of a Verizon phone to work in a Metro PCS Database?
    That would be your only option as its not coming up on their end.How do I change the ESN Number of a Verizon phone to work in a Metro PCS Database?
    It appears to be some kind of newer Metro PCS policy. They want to make money on THEIR handsets and are making it tougher to put flashed phones into their database. It's less a case of they CAN'T do it and more of one where they WON'T. Some phone flashers are going more to Cricket only because it's less grief. The only real way to bypass the MPS activation headache is to be friends with a Metro dealer or be one yourself. Check around the smaller Metro dealers , you might have some more luck. Avoid corporate stores. They are trouble.

    Btw, you CAN technically change the ESN but beware of the implications because it is ILLEGAL to do that in the US. As far as I know the only esn work that a phone flasher is allowed to do legally is to repair it or restore it, NOT swap it and replace it. I guess they consider that some kind of digital forgery.

    Change verizon cell phone ESN?

    Okay so i found this LG DARE at the mall, couple days later went to activate it and it wont work, says ESN already being used, so how can i change my ESN or any other way to activate this cell phone, and please no answers like no ur gay or anything like thatChange verizon cell phone ESN?
    JC is right. How about doing the most honest thing here? Return the phone to it's rightful owner. Look through the contacts %26amp; call someone in there. Try to find out whom the phone belongs too. You can turn the phone into your local Verizon store too. Imagen if you had lost your cell phone....you would want it back %26amp; want someone to return it back to you. Come on.Do the rightful thing and return it.Change verizon cell phone ESN?
    All phones are equipped with those ESN's so that when they are stolen or lost they cannot be activated again by some one else that stole it or found it..

    They can only change your phone number not the esn. Because that is a federal stock number, that isn't manufactured or controlled by verizon. The esn number is used by the manufacturing company to keep track of the phone and its parts.

    Thats not normally a thing you can change in a handset - sounds more like the ESN in the handset is fried. Your best bet is to take the handset to a VZW technician in a VZW retail store and have it repaired/replaced under its mfg warranty. Just make sure it doesnt have extensive physical or any liquid damage, which would void the warranty.

    My phone died today (r.i.p.) and I am going to get my number switched to my sister's old phone. I went to the verizon wireless store and they said I could pay $15 to get the ENS change done in the store or I could call the people. I just want to know what they will ask and how to do it. I have the number. So what happens...what do they ask?ESN change over phone for verizon?
    There's no such charge for this.

    Call the Customer Service at 18009220204 and when the recording answers, press 0 to talk to a representative.

    Tell them your phone number and they'll open your account.

    Tell them you want to activate a new phone.

    They'll ask for the ESN or MEID number of the phone you wish to activate - FREE OF CHARGE!

    ESN change over phone for verizon?
    there is usually a $15 fee for an esn change however it's up to the rep on if they charge it or not. you are actually able to do this on your own by makign sure your old phone is powered off and from the new phone (your sister's phone) dial *228 and press send. pick option number 3 and follow the prompts. you would need the last four of the account holders ssn or password depends on how the account is set up.

    you have to speak to a technical support rep and have them do it. if it wasnt prepaid you could just do it online but oh well just give them a call and ask for tech support and explain to them...it worked for me. btw, an ESN or MEID is specific to a certain phone..for example my dad's phone has a different number than mine..its like DNA almost..everyones is slightly different sequence of numbers.

    You will have to check online at their website. You'll need to register your account and log in. Once you do it should allow you do change the ESN.



    Other than that you can go to a store.

    You don't. Changing it is illegal. Never buy a CDMA phone on eBay before checking the ESN number first. If the seller refuses to give you the ESN number, then don't buy it from that person. This is one reason. Another is the ESN number could be blocked due to non-payment or being reported lost or stolen. Maybe you could try going through eBay or PayPal(if you used PayPal to pay) if the seller still doesn't respond.How do you change the ESN number on your cell phone?

    Remove/Change ESN on a Blackberry Storm2 9550?

    I have a balckberry storm2 that my grandfather found in the middle of the street in Arizona. He knew i was a big Blackberry buff and sent it to me to see if i could do anything with it. Well obviously it was on the Lost/Stolen list at the verizon store. so i cant transfer my service over to it. I know there is a way to wipe the ESN off of it and replace it. They do it in India for $5. But I dont feel like traveling all the way there just to do it. Does anyone know how to do it?Remove/Change ESN on a Blackberry Storm2 9550?
    i don't think, you will be able to use the phone if they disable the ESN. sorry.
