switch devices
deactivate the alltel device for some crappy vzw device and switch it back on. THat I have done and the esn was luckily added to the vzw dmd. What that would do essentially (and hopefully) transfer all info to your info to the vzw network while the system will say okay, this is a vzw device. It worked once for me...
But there is also the option of using bad illegal things forbidden to be discussed on ppcgeeks as another option. Insofar though, you don't have many options and I am seriously sorry because I've been there. But you do have SOME...just not many available...
Also what happened to another member is that they didn't activate vzw equipment for months and they were going to be charged for not activating equipment. So be very careful with that...

Hmm... Well what they are doing is illegal too. Denying service then forcing someone in to a cheaper device. Also it's not that I don't want the convert. I'm excited about, verizon does have a good network. I don't want to be raped in the *** because of it though. My phone picks up the phone signal... But the data has been locked out by them, although they claim its because of a different version of CDMA. I'm using a verizon prl... The phone is activated under a verizon network, and is programmed to verizon. I can *228 it just fine, and I have modified the settings manually. Nothing works

They think they do,
but really, unless you've worked as one,
you don't really know how to get what you want 100%.

I work in a call center. I know what it's like.

Dealing with the question at hand, what exactly have you tried so far in terms of messing with the phone itself, not the customer disservice reps? I'm really not seeing why verizon claims to be using a different version of CDMA, in addition to the fact that they now own the company that uses the "other" CDMA. I'm sure, as the good geeks before me have said, theres something you can do to reclaim at least SOME of your phone's functionality.

Different version my ***. I bet you any amount of money, they put my ESN on a list of "to replace" phones... Where now, I can't use data and texting.
I've tried everything with the phone. I don't know what else to do. anyone know how to uhm... view my esn? PM me if you know.
Side note, Texting is working sometimes now. It's on and off. Data is not working at all. Very annoying, and no it has nothign to do with where i am. I also shipped their box back to them and wrote a polite letter that said "You are worse than those scammers who want me to send my laptop to them in Nigeria, and they will send me a cashier's check. I'm not going to be scammed out of what I have."
