+ + + MOBILE NUTZ! Come on IN! VERiZON Gurus even Better! HELP! + + +
Okays peoples, I need some help. Lemme break it down right quick:
- I have Verizon
- I have a Korean phone
- I want to activae it on Verizon
- Phone ESN not on Verizon's database
Now I needs some helps, do any of you guys have some knowledge on this? I have a last resort, but I would like to try and avoid that as much as possible
I'm basically just hoping for someone that works or knows someone that works for Verizon that would be able to help me 'force' activate the phone.
I may be willing to kick down a lil cash.

take your phone down to verizon.
they say it depends on the year the model was made. apparently. all new ones work. but only some of the older ones work.
i had a korean cell phone i took it to bestbuy where they have a verizon dealer. and they said that it wont work. that was about a year ago.
i dont know why america gets the shitty versions of everything. we have shitty cars. shitty cell phones. and shitty laptops. thats fucked up.

the thing is, Verizon has gotten VERY strict on what phones they activate. Apparantly they are becoming like Sprint and trying to use only Verizon branded phones. And plus they are weeding out non E911 phones and they want only GPS enabled phones too.
This change happened just recently too.
Oh and buk (what's your real name
), your phone woulda worked a year ago, those Verizon people just didn't know chit. It's just that more than likely you wouldn't be able to do the over the air activation (because of the SPC), just have them enter the ESN into the system and then manually program the phone. It wouldn't work as great if it were OTA, but it'll work.
A year ago, well more than a year actually, I was pawning off Virgin Mobile phones for Verizon use after I unlocked them. Worked too. Everyone couldn't do OTA and had it manually programmed and doing so they had a glitchy text messaging or something, I forgot. It was an easy fix though, I figured it out and worked flawlessly.
By the way, what Korean phone did you have?
I totally agree with us getting the shitty stuff. That's why I bought this Korean phone, sick of this whack *** ---- we get.

thats why i said ---- verizon and sprint. i went to tmobil a long time ago. i like there plans... 600 minutes nationwide. free mobile to mobile. free nights and weekends. i pay 40 bucks a month. and im happy.
e911 is a big problem. i think congress passed a law that gives a deadline that all phones need to be e911 enabled before a certain date.
my name is mohammed, people call me jay, mj, or moho but buk is just fine. i got like 10 other nicks that people actually use interchangebly...
my phone would have worked? i also took it down to a number of other places before i took it down to bestbuy. i figured since best buy knew there stuff. they must have been right.. so i stopped after that
i dont remember the model. it was like a year ago. lol. i dont even remember what happend to the phone.. but it was a super small phone. one of those tiny flip phones where the phone is so small that its easier use a pen or a pencil to dial :1
seriously. not only is everything here ----. but its also more expensive.
this guy i just met lives in the netherlands and gets adsl +3 and downloads at speeds up to 3mb/second and he pays less than what i pay a month for cable.. that blows.. id be lucky to hit 1mb/second on my cable.
not to mention the entire Guitar/bass scene.. i looked everywhere for a left handed guitar.. and ended up paying 800 dollars to convert a right handed one..
god damn it.

if you were HMT NE, I'd be all over it but you're out of my maket so I can't touch your account.
Basically if it's not GPS capable it's not gonna happen at all. If It's not verizon.. its a very good chance it won't happen either. goodliuck

so you saying that you already have a verizon account. but you have a phone that they dont usually carry? cant you just take your old sim card out and put it in your korean phone. the sim card is what gives you the service but some of the older phones dont have them.

im sorry but it would be realy hard to do that because verison will not enter one into the database, verision does not give out software to do so. the ESN on the phone also determines the Master Subsidy Lock on the phone. the MSL is the code that allows you to program the phone. it is 6 digit number. The trouble comes in where they have no idea how to program the phone because they cant get your msl. Im sure even if they did have some high end tech enter the ESN of the phone into the database it would be extreamly hard to get the MSL for the device. If you know the MSL and the NAM and MSID, usualy NAM and MSID are the same. NAM is just your phone number. you could try to program the phone to use your verison account, but then again you would be stuck trying to figure out the 6 digit number. not even knowing how to acess the MSL screen on the phone(that would not be a big issue most phones are the same). and the phone would have to be CDMA. its a huge pain in the ***. ive gotten some sprint phones to work on the verison network. but i used to be a CSR and a DATA Teir 1 tech for sprint. so i had access to the MSL.

Can you give me Verizon's WAP access address and any needed infos? I really just want to be able to get multiple acounts on the airg.com game Atomic Dove, via computer w/ WAP browser, so I can have a few more turns per day, and win a stupid AD hat.

sounds like he needs to switch carriers then. ive had no problems with cingular. i have t-mobile too, but only for the sidekick 2. t-mobiles service is iffy, but cingular is the way to go.
