You can still use all the previous steps we all used, but you will also need a VZ tech to add the MEID to the VZ database for you (they don't all know how to do this)

I've been reading over this thread now, but I can't seem to get an idea of how hard it is to get it added...even then, we won't have data correct?

What if I were to get a Alltel Touch Pro?

Data will work fine, nothing is different really except for needing a tech to add the MEID.

when was the last time someone got there sprint phone added to the verizon list? I have been waiting for days now for an exception to get my added back on since it was working but they cut me off. Wonder if I just have to call back and start a new ticket? Its going to be tough becuase they have record of me telling them its an alltel and them finding out its for sprint.

I have called multiple times and they wont add my MEID to their DMD. They said to take it to a Verizon store and have it shipped out to the company.

Verizon own alltel so any phone that was in alltel's data base is already in verizons data base. But most techs will not add another carriers phone esn to their data base. You might get lucky and get one after multiple calls.

I don't know if I have said this yet but here goes. Do not take the phone to a store and try to have them ship it off anywhere. It will not work as that process is only for a specific list of phones of which there is not a single PDA. Keep calling until you find one that can do it. People are not joking when they say there are few techs that know how to do it. I would estimate only 1 in 50. Keep trying.

The only problem I have with that is, the verzion account is not in my name so I can't call them. Ill keep trying though.

so lie

Or, just have the account holder add you as an admin on the account so its much easier to do anything with the account

For those that have had VZW add your MEID to their DND; how long did it actually take for them to add it and how did they contact you to let you know it was added?


I called about 9 days ago and was told it'll take 14 days to get it added. I thought I saw a few people post saying their's was added in 24-48 hours.
