From the new phone dial *228 send, and choose option 1 and follow the recorded prompts. if that doesnt work, you will have to call from a diferent phone to activate it. customer care is *611 or 800-922-0204.

make sure old phone is off, 228/1 like above but you will still need the phone password to activate & the esn must be clear.

the phone pw is not the same as myverizon pw unless you set them up the same.

fwiw:

my phone pw is different than myverizon or dealing with cs.

Hi there Joe101!

I'm sorry to hear about your phone, but you have a pretty nice buddy! You got some really great suggestions here but I also wanted to let everyone know that you can also activate a different phone right here on vzw.com!

Just log in and at the bottom there's an option to activate a phone, choose it and follow the prompts!

I appreciate the assistance community!

Thanks,
