They said this is because they are trying to get everyone off of Alltel devices. Is there any way I can flash this phone or hack it so that Verizon will activate it on my account? I have already unlocked it and put a 6.5 rom on it. I was thinking I could just dial *228 and use option 3 since I am in a coverage area but the automated system doesn't give me an option 3 and when I push it anyway it says "that is an invalid entry" Is there anyway I can get this little guy on verizon?
Thanks so much!

I would say the same as horndoctor, you just need to keep calling till you get a rep willing to work it for you. You can alway throw it back in their face that they advertise it on the website.

Can I use an existing phone with Verizon Wireless service?
We can activate your existing phone provided it is compatible with our CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) digital network.
Although a wireless phone may be compatible with our network, we cannot guarantee the equipment's performance nor can we honor the manufacturer's warranty on wireless phones not purchased through Verizon Wireless or its authorized agents.
If you are not sure if your handset is compatible, please call our Verizon Wireless Sales Department at (800) 2-JOIN-IN (256-4646), or visit one of our Verizon Wireless stores.
If your handset is not compatible with our network, discounts are available on new equipment at the point of sale with a new activation.

So point that out to them. We all know it's compatible and they are liars trying to sale a new device.
