I’ve bought about 4 phones off eBay, and activated them myself without ever having to call verizon. It doesnt cost a penny and it doesnt restart your contract. Sign up on the verizon wireless website. On the bottom of your homepage you will see a picture of your current phone. Next to it there will eb a link where you can change your phone. Have the ESN number handy (the back of the battery), usually in HEX or ( i think a 10 digit number). It will ask you to punch in that number to activate with further instructions.

Piece of cake.

doesnt always work as easy as this, which is why i do it for free.
