Iphone 4 having a bad esn?
I know what it means, researched it. It has something to do with verizone and activating the phone. However, if I live outside of the US and would therefore be using another company to use the phone, would it work?
Nope!
BAD ESN = no flashing to any CDMA carrier on Earth
as for GSM carriers, you need verizon to turn on the GSM radio… And since it has a BAD ESN, they will tell you to go to $@^!@#$^… And there's no hack for it either…
this is why they say an iphone with a BAD ESN is nothing more than a expensive ipod touch… It will never again make voice calls to texts…
