Verizon closed the loophole which allows you to activate a phone that is not in the device database by using *223/3. That thread as well has been closed.

I've seen someone suggest that you can go to a third party cellphone provider in the mall and have them activate it for you, but I'm not sure if anyone has done this. Those mall kiosks apparently have the ability to add a device. I doubt this is possibly, but its worth a try before you give up.

Folks have also tried to call in to tech support to have their device added to the database, but I don't believe this has been working lately.

Cloning the MEID/ESN from another verizon phone might be your last option. This is illegal though and you wont find much information about this on ppcgeeks.
