I reported my verizon iphone lost how can i get the esn off the black list?

I reported my verizon iphone lost but i found it, since i paid for a new one using my insurance thru verizon i want to sell the old one how can i get the esn removed from the black list

If you can, it is by calling verizon. But i seriously doubt that will happen. If verizon allowed this, it would be super easy to scam the company. This is technicall insurance fraud… Since you lost your phone then found it, they don't know that you actually lost it. They probably assume you didn't loose it and were planning this all along… Hence why they won't lift the ban on the ESN.

however, not all is lost, you can still get some money for a bad ESN phone. They can be unlocked for use on other carriers.
