Activating droid phone from ebay

i have a motorola droid. would i be able to activate a droid 2 i got from ebay.[ still in box un opened]

As long as the ESN is clear, yes.  You can activate it just like you would any other phone: log in to MyVerizon, call into CS, or call *228 and select option 1 from the new phone.

  • Just bought never activated Iphone 4s from ebay

    I just bought a brand new factory sealed IPhone 4s off eBay. The seller says the phone is still factory sealed but has a pre-existing number? They say I have to call Verizon and tell them to port that number over to my account and number. The seller says they already called Verizon and granted me permission to do so and that they have released their liability on the phone.
    Am I going to have any particular difficulties activating this new phone? Or is something wrong with this whole scenario.
    Thank you

    Yeah it seems I have to accept an assumption of liability for that number. The number is tied to an account, so I'm taking over that account too along with the number, correct? The seller keeps saying I'm only porting the number to my account not adding another contract? Seems Verizon disagrees.
    I guess they'll just have deactivate the number, then I could just activate the phone on my own line, correct? . Otherwise the seller has agreed to refund my money.
    Thank you

  • Upgrade software to 6.1.1, but cannot activating the phone again

    upgrade software to 6.1.1, but cannot activating the phone again
    Bought my 4s in Canada, been used for two years, then updated to 6.1.1 then cannot activating the phone from wifi or iTunes,
    I store in south Africa says that my 4s been locked by Canada, need to unlock it 1st,
    Any suggestion

    You've got a problem with no easy solution. It appears your phone was hacked to unlock it so you could use it where you live. Updating software on a hacked iPhone will re-lock the phone to the carrier it was originally locked to...that's what happened to you.
    Only the carrier the phone is locked to can authorize the phone's official unlocking...in your case, a carrier in Canada. However, none of the carriers in Canada will authorize the unlocking of your phone unless you are a current/former customer who used the phone on their network.
    Thus, there doesn't appear to be any way for you to get this phone officially unlocked, unless you want to fly to Canada & first establish service.

    i want to connect this my phone with itune. now tell me what i can do ?

    If the iPhone is running iOS 7 and the previous owner did not disable Find My iPhone with their Apple iCloud account settings, you must get in touch with the previous owner. Most sellers restore the iPhone as new so this may have been a stolen iPhone sold on eBay.
    If you are unable to get the Apple ID and password from the seller, contact eBay to return the iPhone and get your money back.

  • Buying a phone on eBay to use with Alltel prepaid plan

    I have a great old Alltel prepaid plan.  I want to buy a phone that has a qwerty style keyboard to use with it soI can text more easily.  Verizon doesn't offer one.  I was thinking about looking for an older style phone on eBay.
    Any suggestions?  Or warnings?
    Tx Linda

    I just wanted to let anyone reading this know my solution.
    I bought a new Verizon prepaid Samsung Intesity U450 phone from eBay for $60.  It's important to get a PREPAID phone.
    Activate it using by calling Verizon with it, not using the website.  The website will only give you an option to choose a Verizon calling plan even though you have selected earlier that you want to replace your phone on your existing plan.
    *** IF YOU CHOOSE A VERIZON PLAN YOU CANNOT GO BACK TO YOUR ALLTEL PLAN ***
    Lastly, I found Verizon cutsomer service very good if you contact them by email.  I could never reach a person using the telephone number and received incorrect information at the Verizon stores.
    Thanks to everyone who shared there advice!

  • HT1212 hi...i brought an (American Sprint) i phone 4s from ebay, Now i cant active the phone. can you help me please

    Hi there, I bought an iPhone 4s (sprint USA) from eBay. Now i cant active the phone here in UK. How can I active this phone ? Can anyone help me please.

    Why on earth did you purchase an American iPhone if you knew you were going to activate and use it in the UK?
    If you like in the UK and you want to use the phone in the UK, then buy an iPhone 5 that you can actually use in the UK. 
    So you need to purchase the phone either through one of the phone companies of your choosing by taking out a contract - so EE (Organge and T-Mobile 4G), Vodafone, 3, or o2 or buy an unlocked iPhone directly from the Apple store itself for full price.
    If you buy from e-bay you have no valid warranty if the phone goes wrong, so you won't be able to get the phone fixed in the UK, but you will physically have to go back to the US to get it fixed - iPhone warranty is country specific and NOT worldwide.  If you buy the phone in the UK, then you will have an EU warranty.
    Return the phone to your seller at e-bay for a full refund and start again and buy and iPhone 5 that is unlocked from the UK and then you will be able to activate it.
    Do you have a sim card because you need a sim card to be able to activate a phone and have you connected it to iTunes?
    Unfortunately, not all US models of the iPhone 5 have sim card slots or if they do, they are not all unlocked, so if this is the case with your phone, then you won't be able to activate it here in the UK and there is nothing that you can do.  You will either have an unusable brick or you will have to return you phone to your ebay seller for a full refund.

  • I have my iphone activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.

    I have my iphone4 activated and working since 3days, i purchased it from ebay with 1year warranty, when i check the serial number from Apple store at Bangalore Forum mall, they say that it does not show anything and 'OUT OF WARRANTY'.
    Now i have a problem in it, all icons just shake and system hangs, needs restarting.

    You need to go back to the person you bought it from. Sounds like they may have sold you phone that is not as described.
    Did you check the warranty status before purchasing it?

  • Can I download photos from droid phone?

    Can I download photos from a droid phone to iPad?

    Depends. If you have the camera connection kit you can try importing the photos from your phone to your iPad. However, if your phone is like mine, it won't work. The camera connection kit needs a very specific naming protocol. For it to see files, they need to be in a folder named DCIM and have file names of exactly 8 characters.
    What will probably be easier is for you to connect your phone to your computer, get the photos onto your computer and then import them into your ipad. Or perhaps text/mail them off your phone to a mail account you can access on your iPad.
    Or if the photos are on a removable memory card, get that to your computer, pull the photos off that way and then use iTunes to sync them onto your iPad.

  • How do I transfer photos from my droid phone to my iPad?

    I am trying to transfer photos from my droid phone to my iPad. I can not get the iPad to pair with the phone.

    Not possible. Android is not compatible with iOS devices regardless of using Bluetooth.

    If your iPhone is new and you purchased from an Apple (Corporate ) Retail Store then you have to activate after inserting a new carrier sim for first time

    Ebay is not an official reseller.  Return it if you can for a refund.
    Basic troubleshooting from the Users Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
