IPhone has clean ESN but I can't activate it?
I just purchased an iPhone 4s for Verizon through eBay. When I tried to activate it through iTunes, it is already set to someone else's phone number and there's no way to put in my phone information so I can use it on MY account instead. I assumed the ESN was bad so I checked on the verizon website lookup for ESN's to see if the device is eligible to be activated on the network and when I entered the phone's MEID, it told me that the device IS eligible to be activated on the network. Now, I assume that the ESN is CLEAN.So, I don't know what to do now to activate my phone. Any suggestions please?
Call Verizon and get it activated on your number.
- What information do I need to check if a verizon iPhone 4 has a clean esn? I'm thinking about buying a sprint iPhone 4 from craigslist, and I was wondering what information I would need on the phone to call up sprint and have them check whether or not it has a clean esn, or how I would go about finding out before I buy it.
- What does Clean ESN, ready for activation on swappa or ebay mean? I'm about to buy an iPhone that's new and also listed as Clean ESN, ready for activation. I know that means i can activate it with the carrier its locked to which is AT&T but can i use online unlocking service like iunlockpro or any another one to unlock it so that i can use it with any GSM? Or is this only for the carrier its locked to since it new? thanks. the carrier is Sprint not AT&T

- IPhone with CLEAN ESN as an iPod? Hi, I have an opportunity to buy an iPhone 4S claimed to have a CLEAN ESN. It's on a different network than I'm, but I mainly want to use it as an iPod. Can I just use it as an iPod with a clean ESN, because I know you can with a bad one, just need a clarification.
