I posted this is the DROID 3 forums too but I just bought a used DROID 3 from swappa for my gf and I am having trouble activating it. I went to the Verizon store and they told me to activate a used phone on her data plan I would have to switch to one of the new data plans. is there a way to activate it and keep her unlimited data?

This shouldn't be true, unless she is coming from a regular phone. If she is coming from a smartphone then she should be able to switch phones without any issues.

Then again with the new turd plans in place they might've changed that too, I forget.

no she's coming from an android phone. I knew it sounded really shady so I told the sales rep no thanks

Turn off the old phone and dial *228 on the new phone and select activation.... at least this used to be how to do it.... perhaps its been changed?

well I did a factory data reset so I can't get to the dialer, or is there a way? its at the android start up screen right now

You should be able to bypass that screen by starting at the top left and touching each corner in a clock wise pattern.

But to activate the phone on her number you should be able to do it online from your MyVerizon account. I do it all the time. The *228 is just to program it once activated.

This is correct. You can also call 1-800-922-0204 and speak to technical support. They can activate it directly and will walk you through the same process .

This is completely BS. The client can put any phone on an existing plan, as long as its coming from a smartphone and going to a smartphone, and there are no plan changes required. The client can change phones anytime, even if they change the phones every day.

I activated a phone from swappa on my line in my Verizon store last Saturday and I didn't have any issues keeping my unlimited data. Actually they didn't even ask about my current plan. Sounds like whoever you talked to is giving bad info.
