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?

Re: Phone with a Bad ESN

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?

Re: Phone with a Bad ESN

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

Re: Phone with a Bad ESN

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.

Re: Phone with a Bad ESN

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

Re: Phone with a Bad ESN

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

Re: Phone with a Bad ESN

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

Re: Phone with a Bad ESN

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.
