How do you activate a Verizon phone over the phone?
Well, you can only do this with their non LTE devices, such as the CDMA revision of the iPhone 4. LTE devices will need a new SIM card, and that can only be obtained at a Verizon authorized retailer or online.If you have a 3G device, just type anything into the keypad and press dial, and it will automatically connect you to a Verizon representative, and they can activate your phone.This also applies to Sprint, because their system is very similar.Hope this helps.
How do I activate my old Verizon phone?
This depends on what kind of phone you have.Assuming you have an account with Verizon the old 3g Phones are easy to activate. Dial *228 and select the option for activate my phone. It will ask the mobile number and the billing account password. Once it is verified, it will play some music while the phone is being programmed. The phong will power cycle and when it comes back on it will work.If it is a 4g phong it is a bit more complicated. You will need a compatible Verizon SIM (Verizon SIMs are reusable, unlike most other carriers). You will need to provide the IMEI and ICCID (SIM number) to Verizon:Via My Verizon onlineBy calling Verizon Customer Service from a different phoneBy visiting a Verizon store.
Can a stolen phone be activated?
A stolen phone can not typically be activated. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t ways to do it regardless. There are people out there that can change the IMEI to one that isn’t on the blacklist as well as the possibility of activating it in a different country. Some country’s carriers won’t activate a stolen phone from another country because they are partners of sorts and share a blacklist. Some carriers will activate it because they don’t share the same blacklist. Most of them are sharing it now (or starting to) so it doesn’t do much good to steal a phone except for parts anymore.
IMessage won't activate with my phone number?
I noticed a couple days ago when I tried to text my friend (who also has an iPhone 4 like me) that iMessage wasn't working. I tried to send him a couple of pictures but he never received them. I have been trying to fix it but nothing seems to be working... I turn it on and off, and it says waiting to be activated, and I log into my apple ID like it says to do, and then it asks to pick receiving and sending addresses and it only lets me pick my email accounts and not my phone number. Why is this? How can I fix it?
Straight Talk phone won't activate?
I bought a "reconditioned" cellphone from Straight Talk's website, payed for overnight shipping and an "all you need" card, the thing arrives and it WILL NOT ACTIVATE. I have been punching in the *22890 activation number for days, and every single time I either get disconnected or see a "programming unsuccessful" message. I called their customer support number, spent about an hour and a half mostly on hold, was almost completely unable to communicate with the woman I spoke to as well as her supervisor due to a language barrier, the entire time they were telling me that my phone is activated in their system and on the website and insisting that I try dialing various numbers. Which obviously failed, as the phone IS NOT ACTIVE. So I let the guy know I just want my money back, I'm tired of dealing with outsourced customer support and would rather pay the extra money to get back with T-Mobile, but he says I have to wait up to 72 hours for them to "remotely resolve technical issue." This sounds really absurd. Has anybody else had trouble like this? Am I going to get my money back or should I just cut my losses? I can't even speak to these people without losing my patience.

How do you activate a replacement phone from Verizon?
If you're replacing a phone with equipment you've purchased elsewhere or already had, you can activate it either by going to My Verizon online, selecting My Devices, then Switch Device and follow the instructions. Or you can call 1-800-922-0204 and we can help in Customer Care. If calling in, it's best if you're not on one of the devices involved, or the call will have to end before the activation is complete. (Both devices need to be turned off and be off at the same time during the process.)If it's an insurance or warranty replacement, it should activate on its own if you have the old device off and turn the new one on with the new SIM card that came with it. If it has any trouble, you can follow the same steps above.
