I bought a replacement Nokia phone on ebay as my daughter left my wifes phone out
in the rain. I have Cingular and all I did was put her old sim card in the new
phone and it worked. There must be a way the phone can be activated. I would pass
by a Verizon store and have someone look at it.

connect to verizon and the guy that sold it to me says thats proof that it CAN
be activated. What would keep a cell phone from being activateable (word?) BG
