I purchased this BB 9530 and the Verizon dealer says because they phone says SOS they can not activate it. I've lost over $60, what can I do?

I think if you are not satisfied with the purchase you should try to contact the seller or Amazon and explain why you do not like.

Yes, I am already in the process of returning a phone bought off of eBay that was advertised as being ready for prepay and post pay, and after receiving it and spending 45 minutes with Verizon tech support, they contacted the pre-pay department with the ESN and determined that it needed to be activated for at least 6 months as a prepaid phone before it can be used on a post paid account. I am not sure why this is, but that is just how they do it for whatever their reasons may be. The phone purchased was useless to me so I definitely need to know this information before I make another purchase online, as I do not have the time to be going back and forth with this any more than I have already. Seller please respond and you will have a sale if this can definitely be used with post paid accounts.

You need a SIM card to activate it if you have a already have a SIM card you can go online and login to your Verizon account if you already have one and activate it. You can also just call from you Verizon phone *611 or just go to the store for them to activate it and if you don't have a SIM card they will give you one . Hope this helps if you have a 4G LTE phone with a normal SIM card you can put that in it and will work also.

Yes,just take it to Verizon & have then activate it for you.Word of warning this phone is supposed to be ultra tough,I dropped mine from waist height & it's been a problem ever since.Dropped my old Motorola off of 12 ft. ladders & it kept on ticking.

I bought one a few months ago from Amazon and had no problem getting it activated by Verizon. They transferred my contacts and were very nice about it.

you can always call verizon and ask if they can use it as a pre-paid im pretty sure they use the same numbers to activate. but i wouldn't know for sure i activated mine with my contract plan.

It's kind of a complicated process (web search "activate Verizon phone" or "activate LG VX9600," so I'd just call Verizon or whatever carrier you use and have them walk you through the process. They just want to keep you as a customer.

Hi, Christy K. Is this a phone you are trying to purchase from AMAZON? I bought one that was Sprint ready last year, after my phone was stolen. I made sure it was supported by Sprint before I purchased it. I had no problems activating it. I hope this helps you. Rob H.

Just follow the instruction that came with the phone and activate online.That's what I did. No problems.

Are you using the carrier on the SIM card? Right side up? Damaged? Do you have it in slot 1 or 2? That is all I can think of. Good luck. You can call BLU direct. They are great at helping. Google the nmbr.

i use verizon which uses cdma technology. the phone i purchased uses cdma and it works just fine. there are many blackberry 9930 bold's out there. make sure the one you buy specifically states it uses cdma or is compatible with your carrier.

Not sure about the law but if It's not a Verizon phone Verizon will not activate the phone on their network trust me I tried!!!

Basically BB phones should have the BBM app. Maybe that someone was just having some problems with the data plan that he/she has. As long as you have a data plan that can support and connect to BB network, it should work fine.

I don't know. u have to ask the cell phone company or look on the web bc I heard there is a way to "unlock" the phone and use it with any cell phone company. Also, they sell this same phone as a contract phone. But u must use Verizon. I have Verizon prepaid for $50/mo--with unlimited talk, text and web. Sue, did u have more questions? I only saw this one.Verizon 800-922-0204Verizon Pre-Paid 888-294-6804Verizon Activation 800-256-4646

No. Just had a 30-minute conversation with them, it's not on their "approved list", which is b/s, I was able to connect to their activation page, everything is working, they just don't allow to activate this device.

I have no idea, but perhaps that is what my problem is. When I dial out, I get a response the line I am calling is not in service. I am trying to problem solve with Verizon but not solved yet. I will look through the paperwork that came with the phone to see if perhaps it is some sort of 'registration' issue that is causing our phone to not work. On another topic, the attachments, like the wrist and necklace require registration before they will work with the phone. My issue is just getting the phone to work.

No when I tried to use it Verizon was unable to activate the phone properly
