How to activate iPhone 4S with Verizon?

So my old iPhone 4S was stolen, and we deactivated it. Now I bought another 4s off eBay and it works great, but i don't know how to activate it! I took it to verizon but we forgot our password, and they didn't help me reset the password so they were useless. Then I tried to call *228 and that didn't work either. How do I activate this thing?

Take a copy of your last bill to Verizon so they can verify your information and account number. Then they should be able to help you. Or call their CS number with all your account info and see what they can do.

You will need to call Verizon and reset your account password… Or Log into MyVerizon online and reset your account password there… Your choice… ATT/Sprint/tmobile all have this same security policy…

once your Verizon account password is reset and you can get acces to your account, they cna then help activate the Verizon Iphone
