Okay, so right now I currently have a Samsung SCH-A870 and I am trying to activate an LG Chocolate VX8500. Here is the problem: every time I put in the MEID it tells me "The phone associated with the ESN/MEID you entered cannot be activated at this time. Please contact Customer Service at 800-922-0204 for assistance." I don't know what the problem is. My sister was using this same phone just a few months ago and it works just fine. I am doing this online, by the way. I just can't seem to figure out what is wrong... Why won't it let me activate my phone? Any help on what I should do?

Mine is doint the same.. Please tell me how you fixed it. It's under my mom's name, so I can't call verizon and fix the problem myself, so I need a way to fix it on the internet

WOW. some many ppl with this problem. HAVE ANY OF YOU TRIED CALLING CUSTOMER SUPPORT?

Another thing is, is that you have to have the current phone powered down before trying to activate the new phone
