TP2 Activation

Is it possible to activate a TP2 that has been turned off due to account status. Can it be activated on another account. The account has gone to collections and I don't want to get it if it can't be activated.

Sounds like a bad ESN phone chances a about at 0%.

just call the service provider with the esn #

i gave my niece my old moto krzr that was deactivated from verizon from lack of paying my bill, she activated it from vzw i thought that they wouldnt activate the phone cause i owed them around 350. and my account was in collections for about 4 months. she used it until she broke it. you never know until you try

For unpaid balances they usually tag the Customer not the phone... x2 on callin *2 and verifying the ESN is good...

you could even try to activate the phone from your a/c online sometimes it works

yeah, they're right... the bill is usually tied to the phones ESN. Sometimes if you find the right rep they'll activate/remove the flag for you. Try the most run down sprint 3rd party store you can find....lol. For an extra $20 bucks it might happen..
