Re: Phone with a Bad ESN
 

I had a guy who gave me his touch pro so i could experiment on it with different roms and apps. He got a blackberry storm with AT&T. How do i know if the esn is bad? What do i do if i want to activate the phone?

Would your phone be blacklisted also if you didn't return it to the company? I was supposed to send in my Mogul when it broke and they sent me the replacement, but I was out of town on military duty so I couldn't. I ended up paying $200 for it... would that have blacklisted my ESN as well?

Just call the company and ask if it is or take it into a store Biggzz.

Dont feed those guys who steal phones for profit... There is a reason why they are selling it so cheap... Put it this way, if no one bought stolen items then would there really be a market for the stolen property... I would be tight if someone stole my phone and then i went on eBay to see a local selling it. lol. Thats my hard-earned money!!!

Hey but what is good without evil...?!!!! If the price is right go for it just make sure you can actually use it once you get it.

Or if they can't track down the owner you might just keep it for a PDA.

I'm pretty sure if an esn is blacklisted, it can't be activated at all.

You can take the ESN to Alltel no problem, Verizon needs your device to be on a list.

If sum1 has an ESN that's reported Lost/Stolen, or active on another account, I can try to clear it up. Just PM me.
