Can a verizon iphone 4 with a bad ESN be flashed and activated on MetroPCS?
Been looking for a phone on ebay, seem to find alot of cheaper ones with a bad ESN. And should the verizon sim card be removed prior to going to metropcs? Will the phone work without the sim card? Apparently I've been told its ipod functionality is fine without a sim
The CDMA Verizon iPhone 4 does not have a SIM card slot. The reason why the phones with bad ESNs are so much cheaper is that they are registered as stolen property (or a delinquent account), and the phones can't be used on ANY carrier, legally at least.

The iPhone without cellular service is basically just an iPod.
- Would a bad esn version iPhone be able to be activated with simple mobile? So I want to buy a iPhone 5 and I saw one on eBay for Verizon but it has bad esn like now Verizon has its iPhone 5 unlocked but if it has bad esn would I be able to activate it? The iPhone 5 for Verizon is factory unlocked which allows you to connect to gsm which is what simple mobile is
- What features do not work on an I-phone flashed to be used on the MetroPCS network? I have heard that certain features will not work such as Visual Voicemail and certain internet based applications. Is this true? What do i need to do if I have an unlocked Iphone and I want to use it on the MetroPCS network?
- Verizon iPhone 5 comes gsm unlocked so if the esn is bad can you still use gsm? I was wondering sense the iPhone 5 for Verizon come GSM unlocked, if the ESN is bad can it still be used with GSM networks? Please let me know thanks
- Is buying a iPhone with Bad ESN bad? I want to buy an iPhone 4 or 4s but it says bad esn. I'm not going to activate the phone to any provider. I just want it for Wi-Fi for home use. Is it bad to buy it or okay?
