also, there's no point in me pursuing all this if it ends up with me having to pay 30bucks a month for a data plan to use it, i only wanna text and call (yes ik "what is the point of owning a smartphone then?"...i just want a NICE phone ), so would AT&T prepaid require me to put a data plan just to use it? i saw in the menu screen for "comm manager" it has this "data button that can be toggled on/off, just below the "push email" option.

thanks once again, i tried a couple of different forums, this has been the best so far.

yes...if your dad owns the phone, he needs to call big red to try and get the sim unlock code. since it's a pre-paid...it's a pay as you go deal with data as well. data will not be required. and yup, you can turn data on and off in the comm manager.

***edit***
this thread gives you instruction on how to get the code from big red and how to input code when you get it. the first post here....

OMY GOD thank you, u literally made my day haha. this gives me hope now i just need to find a solid guide in how to replace the digitalizer, it looks mighty confusing lol.

so the plan for now is...

1. i'll just try give a call to verizon number 1(800)-711-8300 and hit option 2
2. get the sim unlocked for global use just by asking for it
3. use a hard rest (vol down, talk, end buttons while power off) to get this stupid afaria off the phone and to it's default settings...or wipe the ROMs of the data if hard reset just puts it back to what the office restored it to
4. put my AT&T GoPhone sim card in it, check to see if it all works...calls and sms (also turn off the data usage in comm management)
5. ...if that works i'll be crazy happy and then will see how to fix the digitalizer since the crack is quite big
