ESN does not have to be in the database to be activated on the Verizon
network otherwise Pageplus or other MNVO could not activate the phone
for their customers

Pageplus and others MNVO can activate most cdma unlock phones.
The problem is the data part may not work. The phone the poster has
may be stuck on the 1900 mhz band, which could cause the phone to roam
a lot.


At this time it is not illegal to unlock a cell phone in the U.S.
