How much are you planning on paying for the phone? If it's above $100 try going to your local Radio Shack and seeing if there's any 920 Refurbs left in their area that they could get. Current price on a 920 Ref is $99 outright. It's free + $30 gift card for accessories with activation.

If there is any balance on the esn it will not activate. The balance must be paid no matter how it got canceled
