What all of you are saying is accurate there is nothing exact (hardware or software) as to y it wont work just a matter of the ESN being in the system to touch on what
OffUrRcker said and to clear things up for the uninitiated.
Fact is simple if your ESN is not in Verizon's computer it cannot be activated plain and simple you basically have 2 options.
Option # 1 - Clone a ESN that is in there system to your device. (this is in no way legal for purposes other then testing pursue at your own risk and cost)
Option # 2 - Get the ESN added into there system there is 3 categories of people who can do this. Category 1 = high level field technician (if you know one willing to do this for you then you would not be on here asking.
Category 2 = a big wig in the corporate office who says I want to use this phone and sends a memo - now Category 3 intertwines with Category 2 as they are the receiver of the memo.
Category 3 = Help Desk - this is when u get customer service on the phone and they tell you they need to send off a email.
There are 2 ways to get ahold of the help desk.
1st way have a legitimate problem in which CS fails to solve and tier 3 tech support cannot handle either.
2nd way Just keep calling and calling and calling and hoping u can get a supervisor who even has access to the necesary extensions as general CS does not have direct communication with the help desk.
Now mastermayhm069 feel free to continue in your path, however I will advise you your time can be much better spent looking at your other options as the probability of you being able to get your ESN added into the system for the reasons you are stating prior then June 30th is less then 1%.
