He is right you cannot no matter what activate the phone on VZW regardless of Clean or dirty ESN/IMEI/MEID without a data plan.
The VZW system knows what kind of device you have based on the number you put in and it says "Data Plan Required to activate = true" somewhere in the description stored in the system at vzw, there is no way around it.
