I got a free phone replacement from Apple on 7/15. The IMEI was instantly linked and activated to AT&T and only AT&T.
somehow on 9/28, Verizon reported my imei as
"Fraudulently obtained", Despite it never being linked to a Verizon account. I will get this resolved even if I need to email all the executives and FCC in order to get it blacklisted. I one the phone and am still paying it off at AT&T. lol.
this story is as bizzard as it gets and ONLY Verizon can take it off the black list.
your customer service loves to “research” and forward my cal to AT&T or Apple without any communication.
