You say you have iOS 7 beta. If you are a developer you have access to the private OS 7 developer's forum
iOS 7 Developer forum- Apple Developer
Otherwise you are on your own since you have a bootleg copy
PSA: iOS 7 If you're not a developer, don't install developer betas on your iPhone | TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog

If you cannot get in touch with the person to whose account the phone is locked, it will be useless to you.

Website directs me to call Apple at a different phone number

I was looking for an episode of Gotham today and google found a one on a website called Cucirca.eu. I opened the webpage and a strange looking video player opened up with a play button and an X. I opted to X since it looked strange. The moment I clicked this, multiple pop ups appeared about malicious context or something to that tone. It stated to call Apple immediate with a toll-free number 1-800-650-4131. I was concerned about even the validity of this however so I did not call. I turned off my WiFi. Restarted my computer. Turned wifi back on and did my OS upgrade to Yosemite thinking it might be safer. I downloaded ClamXav, scanned, and no infection was found.
Nothing seems to be acting strange so far, but I was just concerned about the security of my system and wondered if there is anything else I should do to make sure there is no one seeing my information or valuable information/credit card info that I use through the internet.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Michelle

That is not Apple. There are several phishing scams that direct the user to a phone 'support' number that the support person then asks you to permit them to access your computer remotely, and they then install some very, very nasty stuff. Do not call numbers from things like that.
ClamXAV is good, but if you start having adware issues, the best thing to use is go to Thomas Reed's site http://www.thesafemac.com and then his AdwareMedic link and get AdwareMedic - a very good little routine Tom has written that will block and remove adware.

Where do I activate a different phone?

I bought I phone on eBay and I don't see the "activate equipment" link anywhere... Maybe I'm blind?

Thank you vereyezuhn for your input. Adding to what was stated in that you must activate the iPhone through iTunes and not on the Verizon website, it would be a good idea to check your voicemail messages prior to activating the iPhone. Any saved voicemail messages will be deleted as you be asked to set up a new voice mail box on the line your activating your iPhone.
Thank you,

Can't activate a different phone if mine stopped working...

My iphone4 just quit working. I took it in to get repaired and borrowed a friends phone to get me by since Verizon doesn't offer a loaner or anything close to a good solution to keep me connected while still paying my insanely high bill. I go to get my phone switched to one I can use on this web site, but they need to text me a confirmation number to finish activating the phone.... How am I suppose to get a text on a broken phone and it's the only option??? why can't the confirmation number be emailed? Why can't this company have a loaner phone to those of us paying over $100 a month for service on one phone. another reason why come September Verizon is going to lose another customer.

Truly sorry to hear of the issues that occurred with your iPhone 4! I want to ensure that were able to get your temporary device added. I've already followed you once you follow me back we may direct message and get this resolved. I look forward to hearing from you.

HT4623 After updating Iphone 4s to 6.0 the signal is very weak and the phone drops calls frequently.

After updating Iphone 4s to 6.0 the signal is very weak and the phone drops calls frequently.

Based on what?
"When Apple rolled out iOS 6.1, its first major update to iOS 6, yesterday, it introduced a series of bug fixes, software tweaks for iTunes and Siri and also added LTE support - but none of that was any use to the disconnected and discontented sufferers of a particular iPhone software flaw: greyed-out Wi-Fi."

The phone is an iphone 4
(converted from a 3g and still have the habit of referring to it as a G)

So my iphone 4 that is using ios5 keeps freezing when i want to dial, or receive call. i can use all my other apps but cant use the phone to call because the freezing problem. i know some people that are having the same problem too. what can i do?

I got the same problem. The percentage of getting this problem is around 10% of all my dial/receive calls.
The problem usually appears when I receive calls. The phone app will freeze, and I cannot dial or receive calls even I closed the phone app, however, most other apps work properly.
Once this problem happens, I will not be able to turn off the phone by holding sleep button, the only way I can get rid of it is holding sleep and home button at the same time to reset the iphone.

I need help trying to activate my new phone online where do i go??

Log in to your MyVerizon (verizonwireless.com) and on the Overview page scroll down to I WANT TO... in the third column of boxes, under DEVICE, the 3rd one down is "Activate or Switch Device". Click on that and follow the instructions. If there is an issue, it will instruct you to call customer service or you will be connected to customer service automatically. Let us know if this works...

I just received my new 4gs do I need to UPdate my phone by call *228 like I needed to for my LG touch

You need to activate it through itunes and then complete the *228, option 1 if you want.
A word of note, if you have any saved voice mails on the old phone, they will be deleted since the iphone uses a different voice mail system and the old saved ones are not transferable.

I need to be able ot call Canada on my prepaid phone. before I activated the phone, I read I could do this for an extra $10 per month. However, after activation, there is no place to do this. How do I add Canada to my phone?

How do I activate the ability to call Canada on my basic phone?

We want to make sure that you can stay connected, Justexasperated. To discuss all Prepaid options it would be best to call 888-294-6804 as they will have full access to the account.

Welcome to the Apple community Jack.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
