About LinkBacksIs there any way to get a Droid Incredible with a bad ESN cleared for use on the Verizon network? This is the info I got from the seller on eBay when I asked why the ESN was bad:
"because it was linked (ordered) to an account and never activated
if you call vzw, they will say the ESN is clean, but if you try and activate it, it wont work unless its activated to the number it was designated for"
I have the ESN/MEID # if anyone can help look it up for me.
Does anyone know how/if I can get around that problem and still keep it on Verizon?
Thanks for the help.

07-10-2010 08:44 PMThe owner would have to transfer the line to a different phone to free up this one. You can talk to a VZW rep, but I highly doubt they'll free it up for anyone other than the account holder. You can also check the ESN on the VZW website.

07-10-2010 08:44 PMI'm pretty sure they're closed right now. I sent an email to their support folks, just waiting to hear back. Wasn't sure if anyone had been able to fix this before.

07-10-2010 08:57 PMThe reduced pricing on the new phone is in return for extending the contract on the line for 2 years. Unless the T&C are accepted on the line the phone was ordered on, it cannot be activated, period. And, it will not be activated. It brings up a lot of red flags if the person selling the phone on eBay is selling an unactivated phone. My suggestion is to move on, you will definitely get burned on this if you buy it.
Thank you to all who have served or are serving our great country. You're always in my thoughts and prayers.
