How does it work, buying a phone off ebay? Will I be able to simply buy it an activate it just like when you buy a phone through a verizon store? If it is used will I run into any trouble with activation? Also what about insurance?
Buyer beware could be bad or stolen and unless it is new there is no insurance
I wouldn;t do it. I hada friend try that. They paid for a new phone, got one that was obviously used.
You might try swappa.com. They are supposed to guarantee the phones to have clear ESN numbers and the prices are as good as Ebay.
You can, but you have to make sure the phone has a clean ESN (not reported stolen or unpaid account).
find something on craigslist & activate it before buying ota or at a verizon store. if you can't activate, as was mentioned, it might be stolen.
get esn from seller and check it first if it's eligible http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/estore/certifieddevice/cd
