Hi there
I unfortunately purchased a new Verizon phone on eBay. I was completely unaware of there being ESN numbers or that some phones do and some phones don't work in a carrier's plan options. It turns out that the phone I bought can only be used as a pre-paid phone. I have absolutely no use for such a phone, but if there's a way to fool the phone into having a different ESN # that the Verizon peeps will honor, I'd still very much like to keep the phone and use it. (not sure the eBay seller will refund my $$). It's been an expensive lesson so far...Thanks for any help
 
ESN is specific to each device. Kinda like the serial number on your TV. It is not only on a label on the phone, it is actual programmed to the device. Try to resell the device to recoup some of your money if the vendor will not take it back.
