    Just bought a used iPhone 4 (VERIZON) off of ebay and I called verizon to activate it today and they told me it was reported stolen/missing? Is there anything I can do to get it to work or do i just have to return it and hope to get my money back? :help:

    This is why you should always ask for the ESN of the phone you are bidding on, and call your carrier to make sure its not blacklisted. If you paid by credit card I would call your credit card company ASAP and have the charges reversed. There is nothing that can be done to activate a phone once its been blacklisted.

    Dude, you probably got a defective one, return it, ask for a full refund, don't let that idiot fool you.
