Thanks for the heads up! I was unaware that verizon stop allowing this.
I guess now they want 'make' you to buy a new phone (and 2yr contract).

I thought he said he was going with alltel, not Verizon.

I know Verizon just bought alltel (they just did a system update in my area).

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

But alltel is still selling their own contracts.
If he goes to alltel or calls and has it activated, he should be good to go from then on right? I mean the ESN would then be in the verizon database when the merger is complete.
It might be less of a hassle by dodging Verizon altogether.
