We are providing this guide for both new and existing customers of Verizon Wireless˳ The following instructions are specific for those who use Verizon Wireless˳
Step 1: Remove the battery out of your Verizon cell phone and locate the ESN number, which is on the sticker under the battery˳ The number you are looking for is either noted as an ESN number or a HEX number and is located in the back of the phone under the battery˳
Step 2: Once the ESN or HEX number has been located, simply call the Verizon Wireless phone number below˳ A customer service rep shoud be able to get your phone up and running in 10 minutes or less˳
Verizon Wireless Customer Service Phone Number – 1-800-922-0204
NOTE – If you purchase the phone from the internet, we do no recommend going to the actual Verizon Wireless store˳ A sales persons main intention once you walk in the door is to either upgrade your current phone or sell you a new contract and may make up a variety of reasons why your phone can not be activated˳ Additionally, most store workers are only trained on the few models that are on hand in the store and may not be familiar enough with the phone to activate it˳ The best trained people are found when you call in your phone via Verizon customer support˳
Tip – If you can not locate the ESN or HEX number on a Blackberry or Palm Treo cell phone, you can find these necessary number for activation by entering *#06# on a Blackberry and on a Palm Treo you can enter ##786 or #*#786 followed by the center button˳ This will show you the internal ESN number / HEX number of the cell phone˳ *#06# works on some other phone models we have tried as well˳
