They told me its still active on the original owners line they just never payed their bill is their a way so I can disactivate the phone?

LOL! Nice going. Stop buying phones from "a guy".

Bad esn and will be useless as a phone.

  • Sprint iphone bought off craigslist still active on other account? I bought a Sprint iPhone 4 off of Craigslist andwhen I took it up to Sprint I found out it was active on the guy who sold it to me, his account. He still owes money for his contract. They told me the only way it would work was for him to pay it off. Is this true? Could I get it jail broken and it work on my Sprint account?
  • My iphone 4 has water damage and won't let me off the lock screen? I spilt water on my iphone 4 but just left it on the side for a week. So she I turn it on it freezes on the lock screen and won't let me touch nothing so I tried the thing where you hold the two buttons down and when it goes off I turn it back on but that doesn't work.

  • I bought a verizon iphone 4 the other day.and i tried to activate it? I bought a verizon iphone 4 the other day. And i tried to activate it and verizon told me that i couldn't activate it because its already activated with another account. What am i supposed to do? They said that the phone was already unlocked so i'm supposed to be able to use whatever carrier i wish but i'm so confused and i need answers FAST. How can i get this phone working under my own account? I can't put a sims card in it because it doesn't have a sim slot
