Question for you all - has anyone out there actually signed up with a
cell service provider using an unlocked cell phone you bought online?
Did you still have to sign a 1 or 2 year contract?
I just signed up with VZW using a phone that I already owned & had to
sign a 1yr contract.
How did they connect the phone to their network? Did you have to give
them some serial number or have to physically take it into one of
their stores?
I gave them the serial # over the phone & then they programmed my
phone with the new # remotely then I keyed in # 228 to update the
network information.
I've sold unlocked &/or out of contract phones on eBay before as well.
