Cannot activate prepaid smartphone

Hello! Today, I bought an LG Optimus Exceed 2 at Best Buy. It's been already 2 hours since I bought it and I have tried to activate it and I can't. I have tried going to verizonwireless.com/activate and activate it there but i can't. It gives me an error basically saying that they cannot process my request. Ive tried calling customer service but it asks me for a verizon wireless phone number... Which I do not have. Please help, im desperate.

Hello m_luna726! Sorry to hear of the trouble you're having with activating your phone. Are you a new customer? You should still have an assigned mobile number even with our prepaid accounts. I would recommend reaching out to our Prepaid Department at 888-294-6804. Once you verify your mobile number, and call the number, when prompted, enter the prepaid phone number.
Then press 4, 5, 4 and then enter your pass code for your account. If you do not know the pass code enter in four zeros. Then the system will transfer you to a Prepaid representative. Please let us know if you need anything further. I trust this information will prove to be helpful. Thanks!

Iphone 3gs displays no service and cannot activate

I cannot afford a smartphone, so my friend has given me his old iPhone 3GS when he upgraded to a newer model.
the phone has obviously been wiped so that it's as if it just came out the factory.
I enter the language, WiFi network info, etc. have also tried multiple WiFi hotspots, including my home Netgear/AOL, parents Huawei/TalkTalk and a pub's technicolor/plusnet.
whenever i try to activate it, the top bar says "Searching..." and then eventually "no service", and i get a message saying the activation server is unavailable, and have tried again and again to no avail. have tried powering off, removing and re-inserting the SIM, then powering up - same errors. the SIM pins appear all present and not broken/bent etc when I look into the device.
All I can say about the make/model is that it's an iPhone A1303, so it's a 3GS (Identify your iPhone model - Apple Support) . 16GB capacity.
I have no way of knowing the iOS version, IMEI or baseband revision (unless there's a mac/iTunes way of getting it?)
my friend is certain that he has never jailbroken the device, and that it has always been on O2 (the same network as me).
my SIM works in my old Nokia, receives texts/calls etc. my Nokia gets all 4 bars of signal.
I have also been in to visit an O2 shop, and had my tariff upgraded to one for a smartphone. They're certain it's not an O2 problem. I've probably had this SIM at least 8 years.
Have tried activating it by itself, and via iTunes 10.6.3(25) on Mac 10.6.8. iTunes says there is no SIM installed.
is the phone somehow blocked? how would i find out if it was? is it possible that it has been hacked to support O2 instead of another network (by a shop) - and that by scrubbing the data, it has wiped out the hack (in which case, how do i get the phone's ios/baseband/IMEI/original network)? is this a really silly thing like having to deactivate my old phone or having to register the iPhone with O2? is this a problem with the SIM, the phone hardware, the firmware or iOS? what if i got his old SIM - would that activate the phone, and is the phone just not accepting a different SIM than the original one?

Here's what you do
1.Make sure your phone is not plugged into the computer.
2. Put the iPhone into recovery mode (this is NOT DFU mode). Do this by
     a). Hold down both the power/sleep button and the home button until the screen turns black/off
     b). As soon as this happens release the power button but NOT the home button
     c). If done correctly then the Apple logo will appear, KEEP HOLDING THE HOME BUTTON and eventually a connect to itunes graphic will appear. You can release the home button
3. With the connect to itunes graphic on the screen, plug your phone into the computer. iTunes will start up if it is not already on, and then will say the phone needs restoring. Ignore this and COMPLETELY quit iTunes.
4. With iTunes off and the graphic still on the phone screen, hold down both the power/sleep and the home button again for 9 seconds (count 100, 200, 300...) or until the screen goes black
5. When the screen goes black release the home button straight away.
6. It will start up with the iPhone activation screen ignore this. iTunes should have started up, if not do so. Go to the iPhone tab and either resotre from backup or set up as a new phone.
You're welcome

Microsoft Outlook 2010 The delegates settings were not saved correctly. Cannot activate Send-on-behalf-of list. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.

I am trying to assign delegation to a user and I receive the following message.
The delegates settings were not saved correctly. Cannot activate Send-on-behalf-of list. You do not have sufficient permission to perform this operation on this object.
We are using 2010 for the server and client. There are only specific mailboxes that this is happening for after being migrated from Lotus Notes. The user can use their mailfile fine however it is just the delegation that appears corrupted somehow.
I'm not sure how to fix this. I have checked the access through the security tab in ad and that looks fine.
Any help would be appreciated.

I did some more digging and I solved it.
This would be the solution:
In Active Directory Users and Computers
-Click on VIEW
-Click on ADVANCE FEATURES (this is important otherwise you won't see
the complete list in the next steps)
-Click on the USERS container
-Find the problem user's account
-Right mouse the account and click on PROPERTIES
-Click on the SECURITY tab
-In the top box, click on the SELF account
-In the bottom portion of the screen make sure the READ PERSONAL
INFORMATION & WRITE PERSONAL INFORMATION should both be checked for
ALLOW
If you can compare the permissions for 'SELF' with another user you probably should set them accordingly to be safe. I noticed that for the user where setting delegates (SOB) did
not work, more than those 2 permissions were missing.
Good luck!

The typical cause is that the device has been hacked or jailbroken.

The person who sold you the device can remove the ID without giving it to you. Follow the steos in "What to do if you no longer have the device." In the artcle below. If you can't find the person or they won't do it you're stuck with a unusable device.

Outlook error "The Delegate settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. The operation failed"

Hi,
Re: "The Delegate settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. The operation failed"
I have a client who is getting the above error when attempting to change delegate permissions in Outlook 2010.
She is also getting this error when she tries to remove a delegate.
I have tried recreating her mail profile.
I have also tried kb2593557. The auto fix didn't work at all and the registry fix only removes the error message and not the problem. This client would like to be able to edit her delegate permissions.
She is on Exchange 2010
Any assistance would be appreciated.

The article you provided is not related to the error message that the user is getting it.
Can you please provide better solution? I know this answer and this post is old but I am having same issue.
The error message is only (The Delegates settings were not saved correctly. cannot activate send-on-behalf-of list. The operation failed) I was not able to attach screen shot.

I have just upgraded to IOS 7 and for some reason iMessage and face time will not work. It asks me for my Apple ID username and password and when I enter then it tries to sign in and then after a few minutes comes up with cannot activate try connection ?

I have just upgraded my iPad to iOS 7 and now FaceTime and iMessage will not allow me to sign in. I enter my appl I'd and password but after a few minutes I get a message to say cannot activate try network connection then try again no matter how many times you do this it will not sign in. Any thoughts ?
Thanks neil

try resetting your phone by turning it off and back on again. The servers may still be having a hard time keeping up, so you may just need to wait a little while and try again.

I cannot activate a ringtone which I prepared with Iringer. It appears in iTunes under sounds but doesn't appear in sounds on the iPhone!!!

I cannot activate a ringtone which I prepared with Iringer. It appears in iTunes under sounds but doesn't appear in sounds on the iPhone!!!

if you created a ringtone, it should appear in the tone menu in itunes.
Is the ringtone 30 seconds or less?
Also I would check the iringer support site to resolve your issue.
